I've just bought a 2008 Elise SC that was originally registered to Lotus Cars for 16 months before being sold by "Pure Lotus" of Weatherby with just over 5k miles on the clock.
I presume it was probably a Lotus demo car(?) and then sold on. Were "Pure Lotus" a main dealer at the time as Googling them shows they were wound up a few years ago.

The car came with every service invoice from 2011 onwards but there's a gap between 2009 and 2011. Being nearly new there's a fair chance it would have been main dealer serviced at that time (sadly there's no service book) so i was going to phone the then Lotus dealers in the Yorkshire/Derbyshire/Manchester area on the off chance they have records of seeing it.

Who were the Lotus Main Dealers at that time?

If anyone recognises the car it's reg' was originally AU58 CUY but for most of its life it wore Y1 MED

Pure Lotus weren’t a main dealer. JCT600, then in Leeds and now Bradford, would be the nearest main dealer. I expect at that time there would have been Christopher Neil(now Oakmere) in Cheshire and maybe Peter Smith in Derbyshire.
