chandrew Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Closest, probably about an hour away. Dealer I use (because I think they're great), 120km / about 1 hour 40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulcan Grey Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 36 miles to the Lotus of Denver. Never used them for anything in 12+ years, my garage and telephone are much closer... Quote Travis Vulcan Grey 89SE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBD Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Used to be 15 Kilometres, but then Limited Cars retired and West Side Cars hasen't got their service contract yet. So, I drove 520 Km to Komo-Tec, but I could have found one in about 350 Km. Not a happy situation at all.

Rick Edwards Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 According to the Lotus Group site my nearest dealer is in Guernsey!! not remotely practical for anyone not on Guernsey. Other than that Cardiff is nearest and that's about 2 hours away. Pretty pointless. Quote Twitter @radioRedwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza 907 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Nearest main dealer c20 miles Car's looked after by GST, a mere 200 mile round trip but worth it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelly Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 An hour to Bell & Colvil, 50 minutes to Westover Sports cars. And only 30 minutes to Sportomotive in Salisbury who I actually use! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest surferphil Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Oficially 9 miles but I'd only buy parts from them, I doubt they have ever seen the underside of an S1 Esprit or M100 (or care). B&C is an hour away/30+ miles as is Silverstone where I have never been. I take my cars to Browns in Thame usually B&C for a service or Steve Williams in Maidenhead but he doesn't like working on old Esprits.

steve930 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 westover poole, approx 35 miles, but they have a bad rep for older stuff, I do 99% repair work myself so not really relevant. Considering taking it to esprit engineering??? approx 50 miles, just for general servicing (just to keep the service book fully stamped) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jukka Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Local dealer, what is that. No dealers in my country. Nearest official dealer is in Estonia, 195 km and three and half hours. Been there but never used them. I feel that they know nothing about cars. Next officials are in Sweden and Danmark. But mentally I feel that my official dealer is in Long Stratton. But not used so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stirling_Villeneuve Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I'm just over 20 miles to Frosts/Harwoods in Hove, although I think they're service only now.

redshift Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 About 70 km to the local dealer in Toulouse. But seeing as I know more about the V8 than they do, it's being shipped to GST tomorrow. More like 1400 km. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
