New range of Lotus 70th anniversary editions
Exige and Elise get a birthday spruce up to mark seven decades of Lotus
The Exige 70th Edition will be available as either a Sport 350 or Sport 380, with three classic Lotus colours - Empire Green, Essex Blue and Monaco White. Further distinguishing the 70th are additional badges, stickers and stitching, with the adornments conveniently reminding you of the maximum permitted speed for your Lotus in the UK... From what can be seen from these pics they feature ahead of the rear wheels and on the headrests.
The Elise has also been given a new birthday get up, celebrating that most iconic Lotus motorsport colour scheme with the GP Edition. Based on a Cup 250, its black and gold livery is continued inside with various nods to the F1 success as well. In case you hadn't heard. This time production seemingly isn't limited but a price is still unconfirmed; a regular Cup 250 currently retails at £46,500.

But.... Christ there is a special edition every other week at the moment. Not sure how that makes me feel now, but when I was an owner my model (at least to me) felt out of date pretty quickly. Not sure how this is making other new Lotus owners, perhaps I was just a bit wet.
