"I have been looking in kit car mags and on the internet ever since i bought this car and still I havnt seen another It has lotus badges on it and it does look ever so much like a Lotus."

..and I would have to agree

Perhaps the Lotus badge looks like a Lotus badge because nowt else bears any resemblance.

I will keep my eyes open for a Lotus like that.


Paul TigerB6 - 20/10/08 at 10:46 AM

Come on now, its so obvious just like a Lotus Europa.................... no, Esprit.....................no, Eclat.......................... no, 7........................ err maybe i mean Elise.

Shame the guy is so deluded!! It actually looks quite good fun (if a little girly) so why try to make out its something its so clearly not!! The ar$e!!

Perhaps lotus have not launched it yet.

4. Needs a Fiesta doner reg or better still a Vosa SVA test.

Yeah... Like you will get it registered without one! (Legally).

Some Mothers do have them!!

Better in the "won't get crushed by plod at its next MOT" kind of way?

If you can get over the panel fit on the bonnet and the 'looks like a lotus' nonsense it looks quite smart for a kitcar IMO. Not going to be a demon performer with that engine though.

Is that like the Lotus Extruded only different?

The suspension photo doesnt exactly inspire me with a lot of confidence!!!

No, but the exhaust in the same picture made me laugh....fitted to the same standard that Mk2 Fiestas were from the factory, i.e. dragging along the ground most of the time due to Ford saving 27p on exhaust mountings. I say mountings...there was only one IIRC!
