Hi folks,
Had one of these a few years ago and after moving to a Z Coupe, to 981S which wasn't my bag , l have gone back to my first love ....Lotus, this one's a Club Racer Edition build number 25 or 25, in cool lemans blue, supercharged 1.8 Toyota engine poking out about 254 , but weight just over 900kg so goes quite nicely. I have a list of mods for the winter and hopefully will have it running closer to 280/290 next year and a larger intercooler. This little thing gets smiles n thumbsup on just about every occasion unlike the 981 . This will definitely be a keeper as it ticks all the boxes for me, fast rare,crazy looking,cheap to maintain and no depreciation.

That's very nice @TOMGREEN413.
I am also a Lotus fan. They make great cars.

My next door neighbour had an Exige club racer in his garage a few weeks ago which he was putting reg plates on. Then it disappeared.
I can't remember if it was blue, but could have been yours? Where did you get it from?
 
That's interesting Pondy I'm in the LDC and they are only aware of the location of 5 in the Uk, some were exported to Japan and Australia.
They on.y came in this colour (lemans blue with phantom black stripes) but mine came from Southampton a few months ago.
I'm curious about the one your saw especially what reg as perhaps its not one known to the Club?
BTW l hadn't been on the forum since you finished the 250GT Californa and l must say it looks incredible, you've done a amazing job.

I will ask him. It may not have been a club racer but it had the big wing! He is a big Lotus fan and has an Emira in his garage.
