Bibs that is a rather nice pack. And I’ll be on the phone in the morning to order one to get a head of the rush.

The other thing I would like Lotus to do is a decent owner’s manual folder, in leather with the model number and lotus badge.

Great to see the heritage collection is being curated. Does anyone know about any other acquisitions?

[Hangar 111]

Get that cardboard box off that paintwork!!!  😉

[Bibs]

Ceramic coat ftw

To be fair, I did wonder how much grief I'd get for that!! 

[mg4lotus]

Stanley knife in the pocket, Ouch! Hope you remembered to retract it. Have you ever forgotten?

The CoP looks great, a real collectors item. I agree with Graeme about the owners manual folder.

[Julian73]

A great upgrade.  Will TLF be offering these discounted with premium memberships

[Bibs]

I'll ask if it's possible to do what we did before.

Seconded, maybe an area for receipts etc.

I'm kinda disappointed that it's not actually @Bibs golden onesie!

The CoP looks very nice, I definitely be getting one later in the year - do we know if it's a limited run thing or will be around for awhile?

[Bibs]

It's the new normal, they'll be around for a while yet

[au-yt]

Already onto SSC in Sydney, they weren't are aware of it, They are now.

To me this sort of ownership recognition, (yes its marketing, so what), just adds that little bit extra to the experience.

Did I mention leather document folders A4 size would be nice, I did. Its a "shawshank redemption" thing

I will take the plunge, endure the reaction, and express the first dissenting view on the new CoP package.

I agree that it is an attractive lot of trinkets provided and likely a step up from the old Certificates but in my, admittedly subjective, opinion it is vastly overpriced. Part of that view is that I really question the durability of a cardboard box over the long term unless you just want to put it on a shelf and leave it there. So I shall not be rushing off to order one, much less three of them.

Having said that, if others will get pleasure from it and it generates a bit of revenue for Lotus Cars so much the better.

Mike.

PS. Now watch my wife go out and order one for Christmas, thinking it is something I will treasure. Best have a word about it.

[au-yt]

Richard from SSC rang back to say they are still working out costs and get back to me in a day or so. The package includes a provenience certificate even if you have one

[Gis]

Looks real good. Just ordered the set from the TLF shop 😁

[Techyd]

It's on my Christmas list!

[Mysterae]

I agree @calvan the price is a bit steep which is why I'm not rushing out to buy one right now. The problem I have now is how to make the other half aware of it before Christmas .

[au-yt]

Print out a picture of it and leave it some where so its not appearing as too much of a hint!

Carelss abandon of the paintwork with box placed on top and 'dragged' no less, 'DRAGGED' across the paint as it was rotated. 🤣 I think you may need some retraining to correct your wrong think.

Nice offering tho and thanks for the video. 👌

[Snoopy1969]

Does anybody know if the COP contains more information than before ?

Mike no issue if you don't think it's good value. It's about the cost of a nice meal with the wife which lasts a few hours and then it's gone. Just a memory.

I think it's a nice package personally. No one is forcing anyone to buy it after all.

[Nelly]

You must take your wife to some nice restaurants @C8RKH, I have never spent £170 on a meal with the other half!

Be nice to have but just can't justify the cost still being furloughed, and already having a COP.

Dare I say if Bahar had done this during his upmarket ramping he would have been slated?

 

[Jcx]

wow @C8RKHMcDonalds has clearly seen inflation since i last dined out with my wife! 🤣

 

[TdM]

I'll wait to see if @Bibs manages to get a tie up with forum membership again...
