Emira at Central Lotus

[Elisemadray]

Ok so my spec would be Hethel Yellow, Black Gloss wheels Yellow Calipers. black leather interior, no black pack touring suspension

Black leather is my backup thought at the moment Ray 👍

the big thing for me is V6 manual or Turbo twin clutch, baring in mind I will keep the Elise for the Rough n ready stuff with the top off

The only thing with yellow calipers, is they are a different yellow to the Hethel Yellow paintwork..... and a different yellow again to the centrecaps and nose badge!  🙄    Not sure what Lotus was thinking there!

I still would go for the yellow calipers, as any other colour I don't think will hit the spot black would be lost, red in my humble opinion wouldn't look right, the other concern is the seat was blinkin uncomfortable on the dummy car

Oh ok OK, you talked me into it - no big secret really, it's just that I change my mind on a daily basis

 

So that's yellow body, no black pack, silver wheels, touring suspension, red calipers, ice grey interior, no privacy glass.

That's the spec I've submitted but I could change my mind when/if we finally get to see the ice leather sample, and there's talk of some cars being sprayed in the correct colours and being photographed for all to see so that could be a real eye opener.

Now THAT I like…with yellow callipers, black leather and AMG 4-pot!

If going for the yellow this would be my spec.

But as I’ll be buying Mark’s blue / grey one when he’s bored of it, it’s academic (first dibs please Mark!)

Always been manual V6, last week it was 100% definitely Sport (after driving an Evora 410 with Sports suspension), then it was Touring (after talking to the Lotus guys, now it might be Sport again (after reading your post)

The other part I'm unsure about is the Ice Grey Leather - not seen a sample (of course) so I'm not certain how it will work with yellow. If it's more grey it will look great but if it's more white then it won't. Not sure what I would do in that case?

I think Schmee has specced black calipers to match his black pack, I prefer to see the calipers through the silver wheels so red it is. I think it will work, if not then black or silver paint is cheap enough

 

If you want to be totally sure your decision if right i have a lovely 410 with sport suspension you can borrow for a weekend in exchange for your 250 and the same applies to Mark but it would have to be your 720S 😁

Like it 😂😂😂

Ditto - Evora NA here on the larger 19/20” wheels, with the standard suspension.   Available any weekend in exchange for the 720S Mark 😉

Sure the AMG 4pot is not going to sound like the V6.

Great offer Scotty and I may well take you up on that sometime. I don't think I'd need a weekend though, just an hour or so during a run - where we can keep an eye on each other BUT, do you reckon you can still get into an Elise old man, sure you've not gone a bit soft after several years of Evora luxury? Hehe!

Hmm, very interesting Dave, although I know you do like a bit of dog dick 

Definitely no black roof for me but maybe I should add the dd red interior to my backup plan?
