A used Lotus is a very rare species right now......and I can’t help feeling it’s going to be that way for some time. And anything that does come up is going to be snapped up damn quick. Then watch Used values rise. Emira should certainly restart the sales circle but until we see it in existence this will be the norm for a while I feel.

Gold FFM jep Posted May 13 Gold FFM Report Share Posted May 13 600 LOT was a Bell and Colvill plate and I think was on the first turbo they did, a white S1. Justin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it wasn't due to reliability problems... Quote I have made many mistakes in my life. Buying a multiple Lotus is not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOTUSMAN33 Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 It was exported I seem to remember to the US in 2012 and the plate had been reallocated to another vehicle years ago (Red Stevens Esprirt) as the owner (Paul Godfrey) was trying to track it’s owner down. It had a 2.2 HC engine when sold with a tan leather interior although original engine minus turbo was still with it. 0270G, not sure if it’s still in the states.

Gold FFM tomcattom Posted May 19 Gold FFM Report Share Posted May 19 Bell & Coaltruck?!? Is that a case of auto-mistake sticking it oar in, or is there some 'in' joke there? Quote Norfolk Mustard S4s #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOTUSMAN33 Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 600LOT has been SORN since 2011 on a Red 1989 Stevens Esprit, I assume Bell and ‘Coaltruck’ just used the plate for show purposes. Quote Do or do not, there is no try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a long way for a mini to travel without breaking down 😂😂😂😂 seriously though she’s absolutely made up that we have seen it on this picture.
