    Brilliant work. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for the Exige. My first contact with one was in the early 2000s when I started Kingston University. My campus had one in the reception area, it was donated by Lotus to the faculty as they were sponsoring some of the automotive engineering courses. Sometimes we got the chance to sit down inside. It was a car that I promised my self if I ever made it in life I would buy. Recently I popped back into uni just for old times sake to meet up with old friends and to reminisce about the good old days, was shocked to see the state that the little Exige was in. The university had not take care of it at all, there was moss growing in the window seals and you could see the rot had settled in the engine. There were cracks in the body and the paint was discoloured. Watching this video had triggered the urge to buy the old lotus and restore it to its former glory.

    • @GFWilliamsnet
