Gold FFM C8RKH Posted April 12, 2020 Gold FFM Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 15 hours ago, Edinburgh 111s said: Someone has paid potentially over 50k for a Exige S with red paint and a plaque? Wow! It was a genuine limited edition at the time and celebrated the history of Lotus in F1, so for many people, it would be worth a premium as as well as the car, they are joining a small exclusive "club" of owners who I believe to do interact quite a bit. Who knows it might turn out to be as iconic as the Essex Esprits in 20 yesrs time? There a lot of things that people are prepared to pay over £50k for today, many of them I truly think people are mad for buying (for instance it would, with a discount, buy you two Wilson Yvette Loudspeakers for your home; or a 50% share in an IWC Portuguese Tourbillon watch, or a new kitchen from Christies or similar, or many VW/Audi run of the mill cars you can have with a different badge for 20-30% cheaper). Quote Alcohol. Sex. Tobacco. Drugs. Chocolate. Meh! NOTHING in this world is as addictive as an Evora +0. It's not for babies! The first guy to ride a bull for fun, was a true hero. The second man to follow him was truly nuts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark030358 Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 I have to say I agree with the last post. Lovely rear end and o be honest the glass rear window looks amazing still. I actually think I prefer this to the carbon, makes the car look classy (provided the SC is black and engine covers fitted. 👍👍👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was stopped at some traffic lights once and a guy came up, put both his hands on the glass just to take a look inside (while I was in the car engine running etc) 😂😂 🤦🏻♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrD Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 Lovely shots! Whilst I appreciate that the plastic/CF boot is functional (keeping temps down) and purposeful (low weight) I do also agree with the above posts. The glass boot is class and if the engine bay is tidy then it's something to show off;) Enhanced rear visibility is also a bonus:) 1 Quote https://www.youtube.com/user/fiestaria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Terry G Posted April 14, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 Hi Mike thank you, I think when it comes time to sell I will be in my box. I don’t have the car yet😪, I would like the magazine if that is possible. I have just brought a car cover but it would be nice to have the right one. do you have a photo of the cover, I can always sell the one I have. I would just like to thank the guys on here for their support, I think the LF1 is worth every penny that I have paid for it. I am on my way to Scotland today so I called in to Silverstone just to have a look at the car, of course their is nobody their but I could see the car 🤩.

Gold FFM jep Posted December 14, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 #70 has flown the nest......gut-wrenching to let the LF1 go but needs must for future excitement elsewhere. It has gone north of the border to a gent who has not seen it yet but is a multiple previous Exige owner. I hope he has a much fun as I have had over the past 8 months. Such a special car and destined to be the most sought-after Exige. Power, comfort and class. It attracts more compliments than any car I have ever owned.
