Admittedly no not as fast as your not road legal race car would be....in the hands of a proper racing driver

Pfft there's 125cc Gambo's faster than you Foz

ETA Gambo appears to be a Welsh only word for Cart in case it doesn't translate

I know

At least thats my hope. Car prices are nuts at the moment.

Elise going out of production - all Final Edition cars sold out. EV on the horizon. Dont be so sure.

I meant the car market generally - never really any concern over Lotus prices, they've always been solid.

Minor update

Picked up a set of Yokohama AO52's on Saturday - need to get those fitted this week. Also emailed the insurance last week to check about fitting the dampers. "No charge - let me know when youve fitted them" outstanding service again from Manning UK.

Packaged the dampers up yesterday so ill get them sent to Bilstein this week for the refurb.

Had a run out on saturday night with the old one!

That’s one nice silver S1

You should buy it Scott. Be lighter and more raw than your modern, softy ClubRacer

Isn’t that the Loltus ethos?

Add lightness


Add air con?

It's fine, air doesn't weigh much.

220 bhp and just under 900kg.

Aka about 245bhp/tonne

Same as an e92 M3, totally different way to get there though!
