mine is ruby red, I would love a purple one though :)

 

but on % of car colours its the same colour as my clio and hubby just bought an A3 and lo and behold the one he found with the required bells & whistles is again the same shade of red :blink:

My S2 is Lava Orange - only 15 in that colour apparently.

 

My wife's S1 is a Blue over White Type 49 - only 1 in that colour definitely!

My S2 is in Burnt Orange - not too many aroound

 

My old 111S S2 was Starlight Black - both sourced both for colour and reliability. Would never own a green car ( unless Krypton/Scandal) as a dark green car is considered unlucky, + not easy to see on the roads

Lazer blue

 

It had a huge influence on buying it - I didn't care but my wife liked the colour.

 

You don'y buy a Lotus to look at, you buy it to drive - colour doesn't matter

I reckon you buy a Lotus to drive first, but also to look at. I love the way my s2 elise looks, inside and out. I respond to it in a similar way to how I responded to cars I liked as a kid and I like that. I remember a mates dad who lived on my street had a wedge Elite and later on the guy next door to him had various Lotuses including Esprits and Elan sprints. I loved them all. I even had a ride in an Esprit and an Elan.

Sorry to go off topic with my reminiscences! You can see why I love my car so much cant you?

Now Ardent Red with black leather.

 

Still think Canyon Red was one of the best colours Lotus ever produced - now discontinued :hang: unfortunately.

Starlight black with a solid black tri-stripe. Alcantara seats and dash etc.
