Looks like they may have, even got rid of the old web based forums.

Was wondering why I didn't get a reply to my email about the Exige..

Scott (one of the sales guy's) said that they are having a new showroom built on the side of the old one. They are expanding to cover Skoda also....

 

Servicing etc can still be done while they re-fit..do you believe the salesman...we will have to see.

Main Lotus site states "Orchard Dealerships - (Service dealer only)"

 

Bugger, that leaves me with CD Bramel (Storm) in Leicester, anyone got any recient opinions of this operation. I wasn't to impressed last time I visited...

Simon - I'd make the journey over to Nick Whale personally. Might be a hassle but I've always thought that they were really good. No experience from the folks in Leicester but from the comments I had heard it is likely to stay that way.

Interesting..

 

This site continues, don't know how much it is to do with Orchards though.

I'll ask one of the guys at work as he was picking his car up from Orchard on Saturday, after it being there for a very long time.

I rang Orchard the other day for a price on a rack, they still gave me a quote for it and for an A service, they didn't say anything about stopping Lotus.

i saw a receipt for parts from them only a few days ago so i guess they are still active.

The guy at work said they didn't give the impression the were about to stop doing Lotus, although he said they wouldn't be touching his again.
