Have seen it posted on other forums but not here. Good news indeed, hope the EU departure doesn't impact on Lotus badly

Yup. Great example of strong (brave?) leadership and teamwork. Well done M Gales.

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.
