Head office so should stand a chance ! Haven’t used them for years unfortunately

Sounds good. I’ll make it a personal challenge to see if I can improve what’s currently available and I’m hoping with nearly 30 years in the insurance world I can find a single provider who’ll give Lotus owners economies of scale and better coverage and deductibles. No pressure 😂

Sounds good. Admiral have always been generally pretty good for me. The thing I’m hoping to get with an owners club scheme is competitive pricing plus the inclusion of track days which I know the Porsche and Aston clubs have. £150 for an afternoon track day at Goodwood yesterday and 10% sum...

Just back from a trip to Goodwood in my RS5. First and last track day in it and didn’t miss a beat. Lotus Exige spotted also and wonder if a forum member ? Didn’t see it on track although I’m sure it would leave the Audi for dead.

Definitely love a fast Honda. My EP3 with 106k on the clock was incredibly well built and refused to blow up even after many track days and hard use. Still going today with its new owner 8 years on with 130k+ on it

Sounds like there’s a good spread of brokers involved. Who do Manning use as their insurer(s)?

If there’s any appetite to do so I know there’s an Aston and Porsche owners insurance scheme which Lockton Insurance Brokers manage. I’m not sure if there’s been a Lotus one previously but I could have a chat with them if there’s an interest in setting one up and prospective insurers believe...

He has a Mclaren to play with as well ! 😂

£612 for me and Admiral.

Welcome! You’ve done well. I’ve seen enough and had the pleasure of sitting in one and watching the various test drives to know it will be a peach and relative bargain.

Fair point and it is a shambles. The thing I admire about them having had zero interaction or visits to factories at Merc, Audi, Porsche when buying their cars is how accessible the key lotus team are and how endearing they are. Sounds corny but I personally feel I’m not a transaction even with...

Totally agree. This is a 1st world problem and we are all lucky to be able to have the means to buy this beautiful car. The forum has turned into a bitching session against Lotus since I joined over a year ago. I’m a new customer to Lotus and all the engagement I’ve had at Hethel, the HAC event...

Congratulations @TomE . Well deserved !

Same as you 14/7/21 although I elected for a deferred build to spring 23. Last email said oct 22.

There’s a lovely Aston Martin Vantage AMR 2018 plate for sale at Emira money on the upside. Just need to talk the wife into a change of vehicle !

Ha ha yes saw them a few weeks ago and nearly posted a pic on the forum! Look comfy

These look like some of my HAC Concours images from June. There’s a thread with a few others as well if anyone wants Nimbus black pack and interior shots

6th august isn’t really well into the month. I concur with you.

Ha ha agreed. Can’t see it being a dealbreaker !

Hi @Pav . Here are the details for the Le Mans classic for 2023. The company I’ve used since 2005 is Just tickets who are based in Dover. Paul is my contact and he’s been excellent over the many years I’ve attended this great event. I’d recommend staying in the Premiere Classe hotel which is...

Yes you’re absolutely right ! I’d better start broking my wife for next year. Regardless will share the company I use and any useful recommendations. Gorgeous day for it! Group C race was a highlight.

Sure thing can give you all the details. Classic is every 2 years. Main event every year but you don’t get the noise and smell of the older cars. You can camp or get a 2 star hotel like me ! Luxury bed and shower ! Back tomorrow night so will ping you some more details.

I’m at the Le Mans Classic this week and for those interested will take some photos of this great event and any Lotus cars! 2024 I plan to take my Emira down and join the Lotus Owners club if they arrange a meet here. I also found this car which looked very Lotus Seven at the front but unsure ...

Sorry missed this and left at 130pm. Perhaps @TomE can get his tape measure out tomorrow pm! Car is wider than I thought and has a real presence

Pleasure. Still getting over the experience of spending a lot of time with the car. It feels and looks like a car which should be twice the price. Interior fantastic, flappy paddles lovely quality and the car exceeded my expectations. Left my guests who I took to the event for quite a while...

That’s an iPhone 13 in there
