That is amazing. You can claim that it is thanks to Lotus that you were born! :D

As for me:
I only have 1, my 1991 Lotus Esprit SE
but I do have great plans for the future which defenitely include a Super Seven and an Elan +2S.

Gene, it was great meeting you this past weekend. And thanks for the ride in your Exige, that thing sounds like it could wake the dead!

Bit slow. Got 4 more weeks wait! Trying to keep my mind off it so time goes quicker, but a fat chance of that!!:)

I hope you don't mind if I go with Family (i.e. Mon and Dad)...

Me: Esprit S4...will keep forever!

Dad:
Elan +2
Elite
Eclat
Elite again
Excel
Sunbeam Lotus (for very short time)
1989 Special Ed Esprit SE (Pearl White)
Various M100 SE's
Lotus Carlton

He's a bit tall (6ft 6in) and erm.....older to fit into current Lotus's but I'm sure when the new ones come out he'll get one.

First Lotus was a S4 Elan DHC in red.

Second was a yellow +2 S. Both were 1968 G reg. cars.

The +2 came with a Ford Kent engine. Eventually found a twin-cam to put in it. Paintwork was in a terrible state. It must have been repainted with a paint that didn't like the old paint as it was crazing everywhere. Great car to drive, though.

Third is my present S2 Esprit.

Am tempted by the supercharged Exige but way too pricey for me.
