Gold FFM C8RKH 6,265 Posted October 9, 2020 Gold FFM Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 You won't believe this Nathan but I thought that would be the one when I looked at the 430's for sale.

scotty435 1,049 Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 So envious Nathan. In my opinion the best looking lotus and probably the best performing lotus in resent times, totally stunning. Interesting it’s lost it’s red callipers for yellow ones. Looks better for it 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gold FFM blindside 472 Posted October 15, 2020 Gold FFM Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 @Nathan Pitmanthat car’s got it all for me in terms of an ultimate Exige spec, rarity & colour combo. I appreciate that it’s very unlikely to be the case just now but if you are ever thinking of moving it on.... I’d be really interested. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gordon S 207 Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 There you go, Nathan, you have a buyer. Except there’s nothing you could upgrade to! Think you’ve peaked. Wonder how many 430s there are in the UK now? Think the usual guess is between 25 & 30. Anyone know...? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nathan Pitman 223 Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 @blindside thanks, it was the subtle but not subtle spec and rarity that won me over too. Doubt I’ll be moving it on any time soon but if I do I’ll let you know. @Gordon S based on the number of people we know with 430s it feels like there must be thousands of them across the UK. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bispal 21 Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 Nathan, that's a stunner, but you already know that 1 hour ago, Gordon S said: There you go, Nathan, you have a buyer.

Anyone know...? 29 according to 'how many left' not sure that includes 2020 cars though but cant be more than a handful. I would guess by the time production ends going to be around 35-40 RHD UK cars? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gordon S 207 Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 Still a tiny number. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeterG 26 Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 Looking on https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/lotus_exige_cup_430 there's 26 on the road and 4 on sorn. Sport 410 there's 59 on the road and 7 sorted. https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/lotus_exige_sport_410 Both pretty rare. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think for the most accurate number go to engines tab and that is most accurate, The other 3 tabs always slightly out with each other. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gordon S 207 Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 Only that many 410s? Interesting. I assumed quite a few more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeterG 26 Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 When you look at the other tabs they appear to not take into account 2020 registrations. Hence the difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JackWoods678 1 Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 Hi Guys, I am just about to sign on a Cup 430 this Thursday but for the last week I have had people tell me I am mad for it as I am planning on using it for at least the next 6 months as a daily drive. I thought rather than listen to a load of people who have no idea on the car and have just seen a few reviews and photos ask you guys who actually own one! I have to admit I have one concern and that is nothing to do with the minamilst interior or potentially harsh ride (I am young) but is instead its capability in the weather especially heavy rain. I will be using it for work commuting which is around the country and I will probably in the 6 months or so clock up 5000 to 8000 miles before I get a secondary car which I can use as my daily. In short I guess I am asking, Is it reasonable to use this as a daily driver and how does it cope in the wet conditions with grip? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In short I guess I am asking, Is it reasonable to use this as a daily driver and how does it cope in the wet conditions with grip? Should be fine. George Williams uses his EX460 as a daily with winter tyres. I use mine in the winter no problem (not as a daily) but if you are using in bad weather I would change the tyres to at least MPS4S. The cars are quite comfortable, AC / heater works well, they have cruise and parking sensors and are easy to maneuver. The only thing that would 'slightly' worry me is the exposed engine through the slats. If I was going to leave outside I would think about how to protect the engine from all the extra rain. I'm sure its fine but that's all I would worry about. Make sure ride height is not super low as well. You are definitely no mad, its everyone else who is not normal 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
