Interesting thread after the latest guessing game........
I'd buy one if they'd sell me a LHD. (I tried it with Lotus to no avail)

I have to agree! I suppose if they still have quality issues after producing a car for 50 odd years, then I guess there's no hope! 
Shame it's been dropped though, I particularly liked the Exige, and would be quite happy to use one as an everyday car.
When I enquired about one, there was no Spanish dealer, and they wouldn't sell me a LHD direct.
I wouldn't buy one from a Spanish dealer anyway. Way too expensive.
Looks like I'll have to build myself a Stratos when I've finished the Seven.
Maybe Geoff can copy the frozen snot shell in alloy.
I actually thought asked Lotus to sell you an Elise / Exige in parts, for you to build yourself from scratch. 
Anyway, why not buy it in another European country. Be it new or used...
Or, because the used prices in UK are ridiculously low, buy yourself one and let someone convert it to lhd. You can do it yourself if you like. I drove a VX220 for over a year as a daily. I don't know how many circuits it has seen. Never let me down. I guess the Lotus would be just as reliable.
