[mayevora]

Like this a lot.
 

I’ve a Birthday tomorrow - I’ll post up my ‘just giving’ page later. 😜

@Nelly and @Jcx as you can imagine, living with me means why wife has to put up with a lot, especially her regular run to the bottle bank and listening to my incessant grumpy whinging 

As a result, when we go out together she gets treated like the Queen she is. She wants it. She gets it. No questions asked.

Not many wives would pick up a shovel and help to dig out and move a couple of tons of earth either. She's the sort who made the British Empire! She's my rock.

[Nelly]

In that case it sounds like money well spent 😀

Congratulations to Mr A C Bruce, owner of EV20 LTS. Is he on the forum?

Did he get his before the Colin Chapman Esprit?

Is the depth of the details from the production run numbers still the same kike before ? In the 1 picture of the paper with the car details und “Other mentions” is only a general figure. The old ones told also about how many were produced with the same colour, interior, LHD, autobox etc.

I already have a COP so I am not in the market for another one. 
How does the little plaque work if it has your name engraved on it? What happens if you sell the car?

 Either the next person changes his name by deed poll or he gets an incomplete boxed COP?

[C8RKH]

I have a COP already but am going to get this new package as a keep sake. A momento of my current cars ownership for me. 

Gonna stick some A4 colour photo's I have of me and the car in action too.

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

So the seed has been set - I casually brought it up as you do....

Me - "Do you remember that @Bibs bloke you met at the Lotus Forums Christmas party a few years back, and at Brands Hatch?" 
Her - "Yes, he was a really nice bloke!"
Me - "Yes, he has a video on youtube at the moment..." then showed her the video...

[au-yt]

👍And the reaction to the video....?

 

 

 

 

 

HOW MUCH!!!

[TdM]

Sounds like bringing up the idea of a three way...

"You remember that girl we met at the Christmas party?..."

[Mysterae]

@au-yt, it's as if you were actually there!

@TdM, it wasn't that kind of video.... 

[TAR]

I don't think I'd want all the extras especially for such a high price. I'd be happy with just the certificate. 🙂

[Mysterae]

What does David Beckham and the new Lotus Certificate of Provenance have in common? They both come in a posh box! 

Lotus can have that for their advertising campaign!

You could have bought that a whole lot cheaper over the past many years. Probably missed the boat now.

Indeed. I have a letter at zero cost, from Lotus detailing my car before they did the certificates so I have the data.

I would have liked just a certificate as its a nice thing to frame and display but never had the funds to get it sorted. I can see that boat sailing away 🙂

ahh. Now I get it. Or some of it.

[Mart_]

Does anyone know if this is included FOC with new purchases? I have a Exige 20th due in a couple of weeks. 

[Bibs]

It's not as standard, but you can always ask your dealer for a sweetener! They can always say no, but there's no harm in trying! 

Just bear in mind you won't get any of the extra info, eg it's 1 of 4 in that colour etc as they MY isn't over yet so the totals aren't known.

[Mart_]

Thanks Bibs, I don't think I'm going to get anything else from them, but I guess its worth a try.

To answer this question, no. They're still getting the info from the same source and there's not really much else that they can add to be honest.

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

To be able to do this and offer the £60 ValetPRO kit and forum benefits, it would have to be a £175 membership and with TLF struggling as ever to get people to sign up for between £12 & £24, I don't think we'll have many takers. That said, I'll set it up and stick the renewal cost to the same as the current Gold price so the option is at least there.

 

The first batch of certificates are almost ready to be shipped now. Thanks to everyone who has ordered and for your patience, as you can imagine there's been quite a few in the queue after the launch.

[au-yt]

My  Lotus Certificate of Provenance pack has finally arrived, and one of the first to be delivered to the colony

Professionally presented and with more goodies than I was expecting.

 

[Jcx]

i know this is a chunk of change BUT i think its a cool thing to receive and lovely to get such insight into your car and its uniqueness or otherwise.

[Bibs]

Who doesn't love black and gold?! Who would like to see the Certificate of Provenance come in stunning black & gold as a special gift for you and your car?

[Jcx]

Is that an option now?
