Totally agree with your views on modern cars. Lotus don't make cars like the exige anymore, and other car makers produce such heavy/driver assisted cars. I look forward to the day I own one.
I'm on my third Elise and despite trying in the past I can't live without a lotus in my life. Finding myself tempted by an Exige all the time!! It would be good to understand all the things Eliott has changed on it and who did them for him. An amazing car.
Lotus cars are special. My first was an Europa S in 2012. I've owned an Evora Launch Edition since 2014 (it's my GT car), and I got an early Elise S3 with NA 2ZZ engine for track days a couple of years back. Both are head turners. I'm just missing an Exige to then have the Lotus Trinity. Can't make my mind up whether I'd have the supercharged 2ZZ S2 version or the 2GR-FE powered S3. I don't mind the parts bin components. The Vauxhall stalks on the Elise and Focus Mk1 stalks on the Evora are fine by me. Just to correct a couple of things mentioned in the video though, the Elise/Exige door mirrors are from the Rover Metro and the Excel door handles, whilst similar looking to the Marina item, were actually from the Toyota A60 Supra.
what a resilient young man after having 2 cars taken away from him through no fault of his. Stunning Lotus!
Congrats on the Lotus young fella! Love my Exige 410. Every drive is an epic experience!

Having watched that, I've got to go out and drive my Exige 410 now. Great video, they are fabulous cars. Roof off is even better.
Never stop driving that car 😃
Very nice. I've loved my Lotus Elise for 17 years. More now then ever. Maybe I should call it Elise 475
S3 exige is so underrated bought mine about a month ago after always wanting one and at 20 I can finally get decent insurance 😁
Enjoy it! 👍
@ i definitely will 😃cheers

Wow, good Lotus parts knowledge! 🤩
Would love to drive an Exige. I've had a Lotus Evora 400 and a Lotus Evora GT in the states. I'm definitely team Lotus.
Us too! Woooo team Lotus.
Love to get my hands on one of them 👍
I knew Elliot before he was famous 💪🏼😉
