John Vella, Team Owner and Driver: We are very pleased to see that the Lotus Exige meet´s our expectations and that we started of the season with a win. The team has done a great job and Lotus has been really supportive in our work to get started with a new car. With the expertise in our team I´m hopeful we can continue to deliver during the rest of the season.

    Lotus Model Collection

    I have a bit of a Lotus model and memorabilia collection that I inherited from my Father that really needs to be moved on. Does anyone have any suggestions or experience on the best way to deal with this?

    TRD Airbox for Elise

    Hi, Apologies if this has been answered recently - I've just joined and couldn't find anything in the search.   I've recently bought a 2018 Elise Sport 220 which I've been enjoying hugely. About the only thing I'd like to change is the sound, and I've read that a TRD airbox is a big improvement. The problem, of course, is I have also read they are no longer made and I can't find any in stock either. So does anyone have any suggestions: - where might I be able to find one?

Just wondering if anyone else has done anything similar to their Evora and what they did. Wo
