Anyone looking for a cheap Loti could do worse than speak to Merritts who it strongly looks like will not be dealer by the end of the year.

There current stock is only about 8 cars, but there are some strong deals to be had.


I have no connection, just trying to help people save a buck.

Looks like they only have 2 second hand cars on their stock list, both Norfolk Mustard.

hmm, I agree.

But on the forecourt is a Europa, a Storm grey Zige S, a new un reg blue blown Elise amongst others I cant remember.

Can you shed any more light on this?

Reasons etc...

Just that they're my local dealer (& where I brought mine from) so interested.

If you drive past in a few weeks time, you will notice that the forecourt is covered in Jags and another french brand, leaving no room for the specialist sports car franchise.


Essentially, they have played at being a dealer, it hasnt made the money they hoped and are now trying something else.

They have a long history of short term dalliances with many franchises.

Hence, Loti need to be cleared.

That Yellow Elise is my old Car, maintained regardless of cost receipts of money spent in excess of 4k cracking Car and spec

Pipercross induction
Lotus Sport stage 1 pipe
Goodridge brake hoses
Black diffuser (Lotus Sport)
Matt Black wheels
Custom interior £2k
Sports racer stripes £300

Serviced @ Wilson's then Lipscomb's

Wish we'd kept it now and Mrs Boggy could have had it!

I've seen that over at Merrits, a very nice car it is too.

If it's the one I am thinking of they just got that into stock last Nov when I was getting mine. I was tempted but it was more £ & slightly older than the one I was getting.
