G99??? Red SE in Morden yesterday
Looked very nice indeed. As I was in my Evora the waving and beeping probably had a few passers by wondering.

'Challenging' leather/paint combos is part of Lotus DNA/Heritage - at least since the seventies - you either get it, or you don't - I guess it's a Marmite thing.Ray-s wrote:Red leather in a Green car mmm I'd have to see that

Red leather in a green car is traditional Lotus racing colour scheme (before the sponsor colour schemes started).

Any idea who the owner is of the Red Excel. Been "spotted" a few times by others on TLF and SELOC, but doesn't appear to be on any forums.

Very nice Evora - I'm haven't been the best Evora fan todate (a bit too wide in the hips for me) - but it does look fantastic in that colour combo - perhaps the green shrinks it a tad.

Oh they definitely have a fat @rse compared to the Excel, but then mine was the "slimline version".
