Gold FFM CocoPops Posted February 9, 2021 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Correct. There was a last minute addition/appendix. Silver/Red/Orange/DarkBlue/LightBlue are all free, but if you want black... you have to pay £1500! 🤦♂️ Quote Current: 2021 Lotus Elise Cup 250 FE in Isotope Green, Red Alcantara Interior, Carbon Aero Kit, AirCon, Carpets & Mats, NVH pack, Cruise Control, Stereo, Red Calipers.

Gold FFM CocoPops Posted February 9, 2021 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Amendments I've had via dealer, I assume to be publicised further later... Black Alcantara - £1500 retail inc VAT. Bespoke Stitch - £600 retail inc VAT Some want an all colour car with no Black pack, but have requested black rear transom – now available at £600 retail inc VAT. This is odd one.. full black pack is £400, but transom only is £600. I get the impression they don't want deviations, hence making prices too high (imo) 1 Quote Current: 2021 Lotus Elise Cup 250 FE in Isotope Green, Red Alcantara Interior, Carbon Aero Kit, AirCon, Carpets & Mats, NVH pack, Cruise Control, Stereo, Red Calipers.

pete Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Same with the exige. Had the choice to order a 390 or a stock 350 and speccing the 390 up to the 350 came to nearly 73000 on the road against the the 350 at 62000 all in with 3 years free servicing Quote hindsight: the science that is never wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arregueti Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Congrats, @CocoPops, Interesting that they added more colours now. Also that you have to pay extra for leather on the steering wheel (basic being alcantara?). Do you know if/think it will be possible to add carbon sills only (I don´t think Alcantara belongs in the sills)? Does anyone know what shade of blue is the Sport 240 used for the press release pictures? Nightfall or Daytona (I reckon it is not Essex)?

Gold FFM CocoPops Posted February 9, 2021 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Azure Blue is used in the Carfection video. Yes, you can add Carbon Sills.

Arregueti Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Thanks. I am confused about the colours now. They quote three blues now on their press materials (Nightfall/Daytona/Essex) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @C8RKH You may certainly be right. I read it differently, though. Quote A new selection of colours has been introduced for the Elise Sport 240, harking back to some of the iconic colour schemes from the Elise and Lotus’ past. They are split into two; Select, which includes Daytona Blue, Fire Red, Metallic Orange and Motorsport Black; and Heritage, which includes Racing Green, Nightfall Blue, Essex Blue and Calypso Red. Anyway, apologies for the thread drift, @CocoPops. I look forward to reading your updates on your car. Delivery in July should hopefully allow you to enjoy it fully post-lockdowns, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it differently, though Seemed clear to me below: To mark the final year of production and it’s 25th anniversary the final edition Elise includes some unique paint choices, new decals on the exterior, and new wheel finishes. In addition to twelve choices of standard and select paints, the Elise 240 final edition features five unique heritage colours that celebrate the Elise’s history. Buyers can specify Racing Green, Nightfall Blue, Essex Blue, Calypso Red and Black. These are teamed with a new lightweight, anthracite finish 10 spoke wheel. Black wheels can also be optioned on the Elise 240. 1 Quote I came into this world screaming and covered in someone elses blood. I'll probably leave it in the same way.

Not sure you can get sound insulation done later on. Truth is, I don´t particularly like carbon fibre, so I am maybe not well placed to say anything.
