Bibs Posted June 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 I'd imagine they'll be in line with the rest of the OEM range from Lotus. https://shop.thelotusforums.com/collections/lotus-car-covers 1 Quote 88 Esprit NA, 89 Esprit Turbo SE, Evora, Evora S, Evora IPS, Evora S IPS, Evora S IPS SR, Evora 400, Elise S1, Elise S1 111s, Evora GT410 Sport Evora NA For forum issues, please contact the Moderators.

Gold FFM TomE Posted June 2, 2022 Gold FFM Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 Lotus Silverstone have got them in their online shop priced at £333 indoor and £416 outdoor, so £65/85 lower than the Evora ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM TomE Posted June 2, 2022 Gold FFM Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 I thought that, but their site says prices include VAT and exclude shipping. An error when loading the prices maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Will you be doing your usual supplier ones as well or just Lotus original?

Bibs Posted June 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 SCC have an agreement with Lotus now that any car newer than 2012 will only be available in the new OEM covers. It's to do with quantities and commitments etc, Lotus have investment a very large amount in the development of the new covers and fabric. 1 Quote 88 Esprit NA, 89 Esprit Turbo SE, Evora, Evora S, Evora IPS, Evora S IPS, Evora S IPS SR, Evora 400, Elise S1, Elise S1 111s, Evora GT410 Sport Evora NA For forum issues, please contact the Moderators.

Mine is LRG with yellow piping, yellow door mirror covers and a full colour embroidered Lotus nose badge. Could I still do the same now? Oh, it the microfibre fleece indoor one too.

Not currently. @tim_marra - This is the agreement that Lotus have come to with SCC. Anything after 2012 has to be an OEM but earlier cars than that can still have custom covers made. I wasn't privy to the discussions and agreements but this is what we now work to with them, we source the OEM's from Lotus and custom covers direct as we have done for about 10 years now.

tim_marra Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 It does seem an odd agreement. Thanks for the response Bibs 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimH Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 Covers are a pain and take time to get on and off (especially if the car or the weather is wet), let alone the potential for paint damage. I've only got a single garage so I'm adding something like this to the front of it this summer....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murdock Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 Yes good solution, but a no go for me unfortunately as driveway is heavily sloped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
