Thought I would start the ball rolling by claiming 37 years of 'continuous' Lotus ownership! I'm sure this will be topped by another dedicated to the Mark!

1st Lotus: 2nd May 1975, A 1972 Europa Twin Cam, Colarado Orange, reg no. FRX 877K, £1275.00.
2nd Lotus: 5th June 1977, Trade in at SGT, Taplow for 1975 Europa Special, yellow, reg no. 735 FLY £3,650.00.
3rd Lotus: 18th Nov 1978, Trade in at SGT, Taplow for 1978 Esprit S1, Gunmetal (rare) reg no. BUR 450S £9,450.00. Sold in 2002 (recently purchased by Chris Evans) car was resprayed in White by 4th owner circa. 2007.
4th Lotus: 7th June 1987, 1984 Esprit Turbo, Essex Blue, reg no. 66 MPH, £15,000.00 owned to this day.

Next Lotus: contemplating a 2nd Hand Evora S, to compliment the Elise and Esprit, although i'm getting very excited with the new Exige V6 pocket rocket.

Happy days

I knew some of the S1s were a bit pricey but that is extortionate.
