Phil S1 Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Some of you may remember that a couple of years ago I had some 340R seats made and trimmed by a French company called Le Mans Sports Cars (LMSC)... Well the chap behind the company, Emmanuel Beaufils, is a proper Type 49 fanatic and just to prove it he has emailed me a link to his latest creation. Unfortunately it's not for sale just yet but I've already offered to let him swap it with mine when he wants another soft top More pictures from his website here:- http://www.lmsc.info...ge-s1!-578.html
KurtB Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Yes! That's fantastic! When my car is due a repaint, I'll consider this. Kurt
Phil S1 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Posted February 20, 2013 Well my plans of letting him swap mine for his Exige have gone right out the window......it turns out he's already done a soft top conversion for his Seen a few S2 Exiges with soft top conversions but never an S1 before.
scatty Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 ...it turns out he's already done a soft top conversion. Seen a few S2 Exiges with soft top conversions but never an S1 before He should be taken into a dark room and beaten with a French baguette!!!!! :-)
Phil S1 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Posted February 20, 2013 Scatty. Here's the photos he sent me. I think it is the same Exige before the Type 49 makeover.
KurtB Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Sacre Bleur! No, sorry, not happy now. Is it an Elise that's been tarted up then, or a genuine Exige that's been cut about??
Phil S1 Posted February 21, 2013 Author Posted February 21, 2013 According to his website Kurt, it's definitely an original LHD Exige that he did the roof conversion on and then sprayed up in Type 49 colours. I'm with you on this one though, an Exige should always have a proper roof, they just don't look quite right without one, but each to their own. He's done it as a show car to display what his company can do but says it will be for sale in a few months time for anyone interested who regularly drives on the wrong side of the road
scatty Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Ha ha!!! Sight of this could bring kurts piles back!!!!! :-)
John FISH Curtis Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Wow thats a stunning S1 Exige, proper trouser tensioner!!!!!
KurtB Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Ha ha!!! Sight of this could bring kurts piles back!!!!! :-) You are wizened in the code of the Exige Scatty, we know the rules about converting them, and the consequences if we should even contemplate such butchery.... I think a trip to France is in order so we can wash the soft top with petrol and dry it with a match! My Jeremy Kyles will never return, I'm so rich in fibre and all other stuff I'd previously shun, and I think having to eat that crap is truly painful!
