Hot topic on the NI forum has one post. You would get more joy asking someone in Stormont the question than on here.
Its the quietest forum on the whole of Pistonheads. I would suggest you ask in the Lotus section for a response, but just a querry first.
Why do you want to know?
Theft, general interest, or purchase one?
Sorry for being a bit abrupt, but Lotus owners club may be a good start.
I have never seen one here, but plenty over the water, sadly most were wrecked by thieves and over zealous getaway drivers.
Hope someone gets an answer for you, but if the answer is yes then whats the next question - where is it?

I know of one for sale at a small dealership in Ballymena, I'm sure the owner of the place would be able to give you some information on the car or past owners.

Hilton Motors, 07734995219.

Were you on the drink? bad form? possibly time of the month lol

It may be slow but plenty of people watching!

There have been quite a few LC's here over the years. Back in the day Savills Vauxhall Dealership where the main dealer for the LC, and I remember sitting in a brand new one, in the show room in 93/94.

In recent years, I have seen about 6 LC's. I can think of where 4 cars may still reside, the other 2 I'm unsure off.

Marcus this one is a UK registered car, owned by a guy in Dublin I think. This car was at the LMC show I attended a couple of years ago. A friend of mine knows the owner.



The one Will mentioned, is a different car, and is/was owned by a guy close to the Derry border. Not sure if he still has it?

Jimmy Henderson from Garvagh / Coleraine had a left hooker a few years back. He may still do actually.
He does a bit of Drifting with us now and again. Could be a useful starting point for you, if nothing else.

It had the desired effect!
You all woke up- well a few of you did.

Seriously it is quiet on here, but a lot of the content was due to the question and Marcus having a few posts.

If you feel happy broadcasting the location of cars then fair enough. I do not.

Beer goggles off tomorrow.

Roll on the summer runs.

Oh and a Happy New Year to you all

Yep, owned by a local lad here in Dublin. He has a collection of some nice cars too.
