I am happy with the deal as it appears I have paid similar to what others are quoting. Got the updated steering wheel too! didn’t know they did a 20th anniversary in MG, looks very cool but not as fast as red 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had my MG Exige (from new) since 2015 so I think it's time for a colour change but I don't have any regrets on my choice, possibly one of the first in that colour. Only saw a swatch at the factory prior to ordering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcx Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Yes. Its nice to get a change. I get that. Fire Red would be on my shortlist. Motorsport Green too. But then Sky Blue and Riviera might also tempt... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jcx Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 More pics please @stephenwhyte🙂 Looks lovely in Fire Red. @TonyKLwe really do have similar taste... Elise? Evora? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motorsport Green is a lovely colour and I'd be happy with that but I feel it is too similar to the Military Grey hence the (to quote @stephenwhyte) left turn to Fire Red. I did consider an Essex Blue but doesn't quite have the pop of the red (plum crazy is another great colour). If it's not to be an Exige then it will be an Elise. The Evora is just too big.

Evora or Elise? You’ve probably seen these all before @Jcx but here are some more Fire Red wonderfulness here. The bottom 3 are before I changed from the Sport to Cup look, that I have now. Fire Red really is a colour that changes in different lights like no other😉😎 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcx Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Those pictures should be outlawed in all good countries and children under the age of 18... no scrub that 50 should not be allowed to see them.

Matt Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 That really is beautiful @stephenwhyte you have helped confirm that mine will be fire red. It’s what I thought originally but that just looks mega. Now just to decide if going for the 420 will be worth the extra dollar for me. The need for ultimate speed isn’t that important to start with as mostly road driving but I’m interested in tracking the car later on. The main things I would miss are the wing and the front access panel which I both think look a real step up. I think I saw somewhere that there’s no chopping and changing so if I wanted to get these items elsewhere what sort of cost are you looking at for carbon fibre ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbert Camshaft Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 I ordered my Final Edition Exige in Vivid Green last year and while I still don't regret the timing of my order in the face of the Exige 390 I have to admit that the Exige 390 is a tempting offer that would have saved me a few Euros.... The Exige 390 is offered with the watercooled chargecooler - certainly that is the most important feature. I would have upgraded to the KomoTec EX460 anyway but that upgrade would have been 6 TE less expensive than applying that upgrade to the Exige 350... BTW: The clutch of the Exige 390 is not upgrated and there's no oil cooler included but there's a digital AIM display which is great!! I got the MX2 Strada from KomoTec which works perfectly with the AIM Smartycam HD - I seriously doubt that the OEM digital display offers that kind of compatibility. Concluding: The Exige 390 is a great offer with a nice stearing wheel and if you could order it in Vivid Green (?) it would be almost perfect disregarding the rear lights..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it took a bit of effort to get as the 20th editions was only supposed to be in the 6 colours and there wasn't supposed to be anything that could be changed on them so its possibly one of a kind. However I do see there's the red one with gold wheels so who knows what's actually out there. I do have to say the Fire red would be my second choice, it does look amazing. I have also wondered what an Exige would look like in a skyline midnight purple but asking for that might have been pushing my luck a little too far. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also asked if the gearbox cooler is fitted to the 390 (not sure if that's what you mean by oil cooler?) and the answer from Lotus was - yes, gearbox cooler fitted. No idea if this is all correct, but I was told that the answers came direct from Lotus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbert Camshaft Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 Sorry if I was wrong in this regard I'll check that with KomoTec - but anywy, if that's so the Exige 390 is definitly the sale of the year and would have saved me about 8.5 K€ 😨 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 Does anyone know if the cost on the configurator for the 420 is correct ? keep seeing it reported at £79900. But on the site it say £82675 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Base car £79,900 + OTR costs £1905 + £870 delivery = £82675. No idea why they haven't updated the 390 price list at the same time, that's still showing £64K which is the cost before OTR and delivery costs are added.
