No more London Lotus Centre

[suggs]

HR Owen in St. Albans have stopped doing Lotus as of last week I think my nearest main dealer is now Romford, which doesn't appeal much. Does anyone know of any decent Lotus specialists in the Herts/Essex area?

Wilsons Chadwell Heath ...nr Romford is the Essex dealer ...and far better than HR Owen !

Thanks, but I was hoping there would be a specialist in the area rather than a main dealer.

well then its Sinclaires at Gallows corner...best in the area (and maybe UK) www.sinclairebodyshop.co.uk

maybe an opportunity for a new dealership to start up??

Major refurb going on at HR Owen as i drove past tonight

[mat glew]

anyone know of a good independent in London (sinclairs seems a bit far away for me) I've been using HR owen in W.London but they seem pretty expensive?

Morland Jones in Hammersmith. I've used them a couple of times and they've been very helpful.

I recently visited The TVR Centre in Barnet (to drool over their T350), whilst I was wandering around I noticed that they had several Lotus's sat in the yard. It appears that a couple had been traded in, but they were also servicing others as well....who know's, may be worth a call.

It's not just London, I called in at Orchard in Northampton yesterday and it's now SKODA and Hyundai dealer - just 2 used Elise on site, oh, and a Lotus sign still over the door but nothing Lotus inside!
Anyone know if they've been replaced locally??

Orchard at Northampton are now listed as a service dealer only on the lotus website.
Also I notice that SGT is no longer listed and their web site has lost a lot of its Lotus info, just a few elises for sale.

A few months ago I sent a email to lotus asking about a replacement for LLC to cover the south west area of Herts and did not even get a reply.
I had used LLC since 1981, apart from a couple of services down in Devon at Christows in Exeter. (They closed down several years ago.)

Castle Lotus recently opened in Stanstead so they now serve Herts. Watford area as you say could do with a Lotus dealer though.
