Sold my 360 spider earlier this year and toyed with the idea of getting back into the Lotus fold! Well bit the bullet and bought a stunning black Exige 350 and picked it up today😀 What a car such a change from the 2 Elise S1 I had years ago. And why did I bother with the 360 , except for the increase in value😀😀😀

Congratulations, I've been kinda looking at exiges and Cayman Rs. I test drive an exige 350 sport and new Evora last wk (with Porsche club at Williams) what cracking cars they both were. As a consequence my friend bought a lovely new gulf coloured Evora, another mate very interested in a new exige and myself. I thought I had a deal on an Immaculate sprint S2 260 upgrade car but deal fell through frown I wanted a 2nd play thing to go along side of GT3 but wandering if R be too similar and I loved the raw feel of the exige.

What made you get an exige after a 360 spider, thought you may have gone the F430 route ?
Good luck with the purchase and hope you enjoy it...

My car was the black Exige from Williams and saw the gulf evora whilst there. The 430 is to similar to the 360 and I think I had scratched my red car itch enough. Always had a soft spot for lotus since the m100 elan

Looked a lovely car on their website.
Congrats on a great purchase.

After having a black Exige myself, I can highly recommend having the paintwork coated with a ceramic coating - no more swirls ever smile

Nice to see another 350 in Notts thumbup

My new cars booked in for his next available slot which is end of November.

Scott did my black Exige with Carbon Collective coating and it was still beading water 18months after it was done.
I also bought a water filter which meant no drying of the car was needed.
