Shoomer - agree with you that it is very much in vogue at the moment. Some ways I hope it does not catch on in the elise as it is nice to have a colour that you do not see every day. Hence why I am sure some people got Krypton green for their elise.

The only real issue that is resale time. Some are easier to sell than others. If you take the Burnt Orange (which I think is lovely) then when you come to sell it may be harder to than a titanium elise. Some people are put off by the more vibrant colours but others love them. Also sometimes it can command a premium if you are very lucky - if you want a silver elise you have a choice of 10 at any time, want an orange one then maybe a couple available.

The one thing I will say is that you do get people moving over more on the dual carriageway. Something that was always a problem with the Norfolk Mustard S1.

Schoomer,

Excuse my ignorance but do you not have just 2 colour options with the GT3 anyway?

With white being in vogue it would not surprise me that so many are being bought in that colour?

Schoomer,

Cheers for that, would definitely be tempted with the speed yellow.

Have they changed the colour options as I must admit that I was sure one of the previous Gt3's were only available in 2 colours (1 of them being white).

Cheers

Looks great! White is what I'd go for if I was getting a new one!

Ed/Schoomer,

Think you have hit the nail on the head, was the RS.

Saw one when I was out in Cape Town with the blue detailing. Looked absolutely lovely, big drools.

I got info from Lotus that they only ever made around 100 white S1s.
I got the cloth seats redone to have a maroon back and seat to match the roof... the fact that I am a JAMBO had nowt to do with it
