No blue option

Or black with yellow, Lotus archives at Norwich would tell you you exact build spec and give you a Cert of Prov for 35 qid IIRC

If you think you would like blue leather stripes, go for it. I think they would compliment the Pacific Blue colour of the car better than red stripes anyway.

Maybe there was a lack of blue leather back in the late 80's/early 90's ?? You'd think in the Thatcher era there'd be plenty :twisted:

PS At your time of life Geoff you're probably needing the brown stripe rather than the purple stripe :poke: :lol:
