Any idea why? I thought it was a done deal by the sound of things.

I got this email today

This is not the email I was hoping to be sending you today but I am saddened to inform you that the Snows Motor Group are unable to proceed with the Lotus franchise, at this moment in time. With the current uncertainty surrounding Lotus we have been left with very little option other than to delay this expansion, until such a point whereby the Lotus brand is in a more secure position.
 
We are ever hopeful that the problems at Hethel will be resolved soon and should this be the case, dearly hope to resurrect our intentions to open a Lotus Dealership on the South Coast.
 
I thank you all for the interest you have shown and the kind support we have been given - I fully understand that you may wish to have your personal details removed from our database and, should that be the case, please let me know by return otherwise I hope to be back in contact in the future.
 
I wish you all happy and safe motoring and thank you again once more for your interest - If I can be of any further personal assistance, with any other of the other eight franchises that the Snows Group represent, please do not hesitate to contact me.
 
Warmest Regards

Huntsman

That's pants.

I was delighted to see a couple of Lotus in the showroom a week or so ago.

It is pants, but typical Lotus Cars behaviour. Come new year we will all get an email from Snows saying it's back on.

Just to remind any South Coast Lotus owners that the remnants of the Club Lotus anoraks now meet at the Kings Head in Wickham Square this Monday from about 9 in the evening and every first Monday of the month at the Wickham pub, we no longer meet at The Hogs Lodge the new meeting place has now been posted with Club Lotus. So any closet Lotus owner is welcome (we are the scruffy lot at the bar) and don't be fooled by there not being a Lotus outside the pub many of us have strayed but the main core still have a Lotus somewhere if it's actually on the road.
