Nope. tongue out

I was undecided when I first saw it but the red wheels really do work, guess it's a marmite carwink

Ahhh - do you know a means of contact - he may want out next year - in which case it might be helpful for him to know he has a keen buyer in the wings?!

As for those wheels - they are fabulous !
I'll have to see if I can find his SELOC id for you..............


oh and by the way that is the third time I have sold that car, the first time I had it in stock a few years ago I almost bought it myself!

I remember that car at B&C! I think I remember Scott saying it was based on a 911 GT3 RS style (didn't B&C commision it themselves?).

Anyhow, I think it looked superb!

Thats it - very GT3 a-like ! Im sure B&C could do the same again - but would be expensive and the cost of a new Exige is too much for me. Since then ive acquired a bigger mortgage, children and school fees !
Would be easy enough to replicate on another Exige, just not an easy colour to try and find though.

What a way to de-value a LOTUS!

When old english white with lotus green stripes is the best looking colour combo on any car ever, then why settle for this.

I am sure it comes across better in the flesh. FAR Better!

From new it would cost lots but could you not do it retrospectively? Though I don't know of many old english white exiges (if any at all) - as you correctly say they're all pearl or aspen white (or the new colour is "ice" white).

Some stickets, repsprayed wheels and some body spraying (air inlets for example) I don't think would be too OTT, and there are some really good deals around at the moment on normally aspirated Exiges.

I've sold a couple over the years but no more than that, shame really as I think it is one of the best colours on a 190 Exige.

The Type23 looks absolutely superb; actually it was a white Elise (old english) that got me wanting a white new car (as opposed to keeping my old black one). So much so I always think about putting green stripes on my Exige!

Think of the Gulf liveried Exige S: I know the guy who eventually bought it (hopefully we're going out together soon for blast) but that car was up for sale for 18months or something, the price dropped and dropped and in fact it got to the point where it was such a good spec car for so low money that I was tempted to buy it and respray it. I wrestled with buying it many times as it was up for sale when buying my white one, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it, though I do think it looked awesome!

Badger; be prepared for it to take a while to sell if you do buy it, which may be the only negative.

Yeah, Scott saw a 911 GT3 RS in the white with red writing scheme and thought it would be a good idea. I liked the exterior, but thought the white interior was a bit OTT! I do love the various "Prepared by Bell and Colvill" special additions though - hence why I'm driving one now!

They've got a cool yellow and white exige S with performance pack (and every other option going) there atm - I just need to find the right scratch card...
