Discussion
So I have been looking for a long time.
Finally got around to going to see a car properly in person (it was a Red s/h AMG)
I am fairly sure from doing a lot of reading that my preferred spec would be as follows:
Manual V6
Sports Suspension
Atlantis Blue
Silver wheels V-spoke
MPS Cup tyres
Yellow Calipers
Black & Yellow Leather
KEF Audio
Convenience Pack
High Beam Assist
So I will need to go a test drive (which I think is becoming more difficult?)
But
Think I want the sports suspension even though I will not track it (very much) I want it to be direct and have as much feel as possible - having had a fair few cars with hard suspension and previous Lotuses - I think Lotus hard will not be that hard!
The seats concern me as they felt as if I was sitting on them rather than in them (seems others feel the same)
has anyone in the UK got the Tillett seats ?
Are the Ultra-light wheels any lighter than standard?
Oh and I think the full Miltec exhaust is a no brainer - I see it is not as expensive as I thought - any real issues with warranty
I would consider up to 1 year old if one came up but from what i am hearing Manual V6s are few and far between. What is the delivery time OR rather does anyone know when you will not be able to order a V6 Manual - I am not in a massive rush as I would need to build a new garage for the car!

There's plenty of nice second hand cars out there - finding a sports suspension is more tricky though - 90% if not more are touring. If you're going new - then I think waiting on a new V6 is a while - though getting accurate info out of Lotus can be tricky. Have you talked to a dealer?
AT is your friend!
Good luck let us know how you get on.

Might be worth a quick chat with a dealer ( I’m assuming the Lotus business model now “ allows “ that in terms of sourcing new though ?
Lotus Silverstone ( or whatever they are now calling themselves - Woodcote ?) were always good to deal with ( Aimee’s the SM ).
I saw they had a lovely looking Atlantis blue turbo in stock.
