Hi All

Hi All

I've just taken a look at the Type 25 club page and it does'nt seem to have been updated since 2004

www.btinternet.com/~greg.lock/register.htm

Just wondered if any of you knew anything about it - or - as I am unable to get hold of the owner - email address bounces - if it would make sense to resurrect elsewhere.

Advise would be hugely appreciated as I don't want to step on anyones toes

Hi Jean,

I took a look when I bought my car. I think the guy that started it is Greg Lock who I also believe has something to do with Hanger 111. Maybe give him an e-mail.

I e-mailed him with details of my car but they were never put on the website, this may be because my car isn't one of the official production cars. My car was the prototype for the colour scheme, it was originally brg with a tan interior but modified by Lotus Motorsport who retrimmed it in the perforated red leather, and stuck a single, fat, yellow stripe down the middle.

I love it!

Regards, Neil

Can someone help me here. Am i right in thinking the original type 25's are limited number and were only made in a certain timeframe...i.e 2003.

I'm looking on autotrader and seeing a car as being described as like a type 25 but its a 2005?

now i'm confused...anyone??

The original UK type 25 cars were produced in 2002 and were a limited run of 50 individually numbered standard engined cars. Due to its success a further batch of VVC engined cars were released, I think it was later in the same year and I think there were 50 but I don't know for sure.

"Rest of world" cars from the factory had the commemorative plaque but were unnumbered. Some people have created their own versions and that probably accounts for the 2005 car.
