Humpy Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Good choice Chris, one of the best looking cars out there at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted May 3 Author Share Posted May 3 Cheers... just hoping i fit in the thing. 6'2" and 19 stone... it could be a disappointing day, 😂 Mustang has provisionally sold today... deposit taken. Just with the 3rd party to arrange the transporter to collect it now. 😎 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 6'2 is the limit on a lot of sports cars. If your upper body is tall headroom might be an issue with a few cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted May 4 Author Share Posted May 4 Had an email from Lotus this morning cancelling my test drive today... great. But no drama as i wasn't planning to buy from them anyway. I've had my eye on one in particular on Autotrader, so gave them a call and it was still available, and i could test drive today. Only an hour from me too. Second hand but only 3k miles. Long story short... i loved it. Had a decent test drive, got to stretch its legs. Looks, sounds, feels awesome. Surprisingly high build quality... the door shut feels better than my range rover! Absolutely loads of leg and headroom. Deposit paid. Picking it up likely 1st June as i'm on holiday and then when i get back the dealer is on holiday... it's going to be a long month. 😭 Here she is... I wasn't sure about the frost leather beforehand, but in person the contrast against the blue is stunning. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShortPaul Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Nice not sure on the colour though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Not a fan of all black interiors so its nice contrast. Colour is nice, a bit "boys" toy but who cares.. similar to the stang still a blue. Congrats. Lotus know half the test drivers wont buy directly from them lol...Sometimes its not about hard sales. Its about experience and changing perceptions of the brand. A lot more people would have positive things to say if they opened the test drives to more people. Well people who had experience with sports cars! Nice one! Keep us updated! Interested to hear the "living with" bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 (edited) Gorgeous! Would love to see some videos, eg start up noise etc. Just give me a heads up so I can add a box of Kleenex to my shopping list 😜 Edited May 6 by The Bounty Bar Kid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I can testify this is a stunning colour. Guy in the next village over from us has the same colour and spec. Looks fantastic. Well done indeed, great choice.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 That is gorgeous…. Can’t believe people are questioning the colour it’s stunning Congrats with the purchase, enjoy Whats the story with the seller- is he a Maserati fan boy or is it a company? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i love the colour - when these were first announced back in 2021 this was the colour on all the promos and is what first caught my attention. Very similar to my Mustang... 'British Gas Van' Blue as my friend likes to remind me. 😂 The guy ran a specialist dealership from his house... mainly in Maserati's but the odd bit of other exotica.

marzman Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 (edited) Oh interestingly, i looked up the dimensions yesterday compared to the 350z... it's 11cm longer, 17cm wider, and 9cm lower! Edited May 6 by marzman Double checked the dimensions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Very interesting, goes to show just how small the Z33 is and at a glance you'd say the lotus was the smaller vehicle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
