lol. Graeme you can give us the inside track now...or just answer one question, would you still buy a new one?

Two possible scenarios:

1) RHD cars become instantly collectible as Lotus change production entirely to LHD to fulfill the orders from countries where an Evora 400 now costs the equivalent of a carton of Gauloises and a double espresso. (Smoking Pack becomes a no-cost option).

2) Imported aluminium extrusions now cost the same as a small flat in Kensington, and so all future Elises will be built around a modified plastic wheelbarrow from Homebase. Fortunately, this will still lap Hethel 4 seconds quicker than the old model.
