Hi Lotus owners.

Bell & Colville a few days ago confirmed that the Lotus factory trim shop is to close. The existence of a trim shop at the factory is quite unique to Lotus and sets them apart from other sports car manufacturers. I'd also personally much rather have my refurbs done at the factory than an independent.

We have started a petition which I will very shortly be sending to Lotus. If you want the trim shop to be kept open please add your vote and comment to the online petition, found here :-

thanks

As far as I knew, the Trip shop at Hethel is staying put,(invested a lot of money recently in new machinery and personnel), it is probably the aftersales / re-trim part which is stopping doing work for older cars.
Do you contact VW or Audi to have your 15 year old car re-trimmed ? I don't think so.

There probably isn't enough throughput of work to keep it viable and is more suited to a separate company to take on the work so Lotus can concentrate on current & new modles.

Well, that's my thoughts anyway.
