Trevsked 735 Report post Posted January 21, 2014 Cracking looking car and a shame I couldn' t make it to Autosport to have a proper look over it. Nearly £28k though in launch spec and no screen and let's face it you NEED the launch spec at least. Makes you look at the competition which can only mean the Caterham and I believe that gets the screen and wipers. Not direct comparrison I know but in the same category I feel. Trevor.

Buddsy 1,469 1 Vehicles Report post Posted January 21, 2014 Dont want to be the negative one but I looked at the pics and just cant see it. Too me it looks crap.

mayevora 778 Report post Posted January 22, 2014 Looks ok but if a bit bland compared to the X-Bow. Darn sight cheaper though. Isn't Ansar Ali the Caterham chappy?

Trevsked 735 Report post Posted January 22, 2014 Yes I think he was. The unit they operate from on the website is next to Lotus. I think I might prefer it to the Xbow as it's not quite as origarmi. Trevor. Quote I'll get around to it at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibs 9,585 4 Vehicles Report post Posted January 22, 2014 Ansar Ali also was General Manager at Lotus Cars for 5 years from 2000 to 2005 and after than until 2012 was CEO of Caterham Cars. Zenos are based at the Hethel Engineering Centre at the end of Potash Lane (Caterham have an office there too!).

Angry.... yeah because it only has 200 hp and no one will spend $60-$70K on a kit car when you could buy a nice used Elise for $30k..

Redalex 4 Report post Posted April 21, 2014 I was interested in the E10 - still am sort of. I registered interested on their site and Ali emailed me directly. I thought it was marketing gumpf to start with but had a short exchange with him about it. He seems very confident in the car and the success of the company, and a nice bloke to boot! Circumstances changed and I'm not really looking any more, but if I had to free up a few quid I'd be tempted to swap the 211 for one in the future. It wouldn't be as fast as mine I'm certain, but could be just as fun. Anyone actually seen them in the flesh though? I'm not 100% sure yet. I have the offer of a drive if I get over to Hethel, but that won't be until August at the earliest now... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
