Been with me a year now and I never cease to be amazed by it. Had a wonderful drive across the North Yorkshire Dales last weekend. Magical cars!

I popped into Bell & Colvill last night and saw four Elises- a 58 SC and an 02 Sports Tourer which were both sold, their blue (presumably) demonstrator CR and an unregistered White CR. In between the Evoras there was also a black Exige. When I bought mine from them this time last year the yard was full!

Could well be those getting out of F Cars etc, wanting a less expensive option and looking at Lotus to provide the thrills for less cash. Could be a boom time for Lotus. Several 430's for sale in m Lotus dealer.

Most definately. Cars available up by more than 30%. Anyway, sunny weather just around the corner.

Wonder what they went for? That's making an assumption that they did sell. I'm looking for a 1200GHS motorbike at the moment and I'm finding most bikes being withdrawn from sale without selling. Unrealistic prices ie priced at the pre depression level. OK thats a different market place but in the current hard times I wonder how many Lotus sellers are simply withdrawing rather than accepting a deal.

I know certainly 8 weeks ago everything you rang up for was selling very quickly...

Friend of mine has sold 3 or 4 in the past 12 months, always at the price he's asked for.
They definitely are selling for good money.

Surely just a weather thing although no doubt prices are 'easing' due to the current economic climate. Just wait for the sun to come out and then see what happens. Its possibly a very good moment to buy.

So many cars for sale now considering the time of year. Few takers despite the weather. We seem to be into 'Winter sales figures'. Sign of the times? Will surely be bad news for sellers and for those of us who own.

Went looking for your ad out of curiosity and it looks like a good deal (if I was in the market). Personally I always worry when there are no pics of a cars interior though! Perhaps adding some would help?

Yours, the yellow one in Cheshire and a blue one in Enfield from some kind of dealer. The blue one seems too low price for the mileage (49k). I'm down south and recuperating from 2 broken ribs, so only doing internet research at the moment. Bert

Mine goes this week, with two additional offers as well.
I didn't even get round to putting up a proper classified ad!!
Got the asking price, despite astronomical mileage. Pretty much everything was new, however, and was also somewhat modified. In that respect I'm selling for considerably less than it owes me, but then again it's been the perfect car for 30,000 miles and 2 years.
So good that we've agreed a deal for me to buy it back again at the end of the year (buyer is leaving the country, and I want the car back once my mortgage is sorted).
The amount of interest surprised me, however.
