Hello collective,

Further to my previous thread bump, I know at least two of the previous owners are on here and one at least used the car 'very properly'!

Anyone know the car at Central Lotus that's for sale - YJ17KPA?

Looks good, and I'm really taken by the bits that come on a 380, plus it's got carbon roof and AIM dash.

However Bell and Colville have a 70th Anni that's a little cheaper, a year newer and a third of the miles - and I understand they made 15. But no carbon roof or AIM dash.

Anyone got a view on either of these, any pointers (not a buyer's guide - I've read those) on 380, price and spec etc?

Cheers in advance!

The silver one definitely has the better spec, more carbon and the AIM Dash and I'd take a silver Exige over a white one. Colour is very personal though BUT I have noticed white Exiges tend to take longer to sell. I was after a 380 initially but the prices shot up into 410 territory so I bought a 410 instead for what is now 380 money. My personal choice of those 380's currently available would be the Sky Blue one at Lotus Silverstone. It has the AIM dash and full PPF too! Happy shopping, they are incredible machines.

Thanks guys - for the links to previous threads and the opinions. I hadn't spotted the blue one at Silverstone - does look well with the yellow contrast!
