HELP WANTED - CLONED EXIGE - DETECTIVES REQUIRED



Calling the Lotus detectives.

Had a couple of visits from BiB and have had to prove my Exige is the genuine one. A silver or grey Exige was snapped speeding on the M1 in Derbyshire recently bearing my number plate. Mine was cosily tucked up in the garage.

So, has anyone seen a silver or grey S2 Exige bearing the number plate E11 XGE possibly in the Midlands?

BiB have a marker on it (which probably means I will now be stopped every 5 minutes) but I will put up a nice bottle of champagne to the first person providing details leading to this clone being found.

Thanks guys

If you haven't already, you may want to post this in the SELOC forums also.

Thought you'd get a bit more visibility in this forum

I'm sure I have seen that reg before in Derby. However I can't say for sure. I will be on the look out and if spotted I'll follow.

Are there any distinguishing marks on yours which would aid identification of the real one, ie Stage 2 exhaust stickers etc. I'm assuming yours is an S2.. any more details or rear pics.

I'm in Derby (not in a silver exige), I haven't seen one but if I do I'll get in contact.

Another idea could be that the number plate spacing and lettering has been messed around with to look like your plate rather than cloning yours?

I knew a guy that had his number plate read bubbles, for god knows what reason, and i could never figure out what the correct plate was. How he got away with it ill never know.

I'm assuming it was a similar plate that was mis-read?

Have you seen the picture taken of the speeding offence? There are a lot of subtle changes that can be made to number plates so that automated systems miss read them.

I had my car cloned last year (Audi A5) and got a parking ticket through the post for illehgal parking in another city at midnight.

When i read the parking notice the tax disc details were different and the colour of the car was even different.

Im guessing you have spoken to DVLA? I found them very understanding.
