Well, as you've done the top bit, right-side and bottom bit of our island, I'll send best wishes from the left-hand edge - that sould cover pretty well most of it - except any outlying islands.....

Just to wish you all a belated Happy Christmas and a prosperous (but most importantly healthy) New Year from one of the outlying Islands.......

I think i will wait a few more years till the parts become obsolete and Lotus go down the pan ..

Then i will make a purchase having done no research .. Do they do NA"s ?

Good news: I do still have the Elan!! :D :D

PS the supercharged Evora (NOT turbocharged) came out in 2010/2011 in parallel with the N/A. N/A finally disappeared a few years later when all models were effectively the S and 400 series..

The N/A does 0-60 in about 5.0secs, the S in 4.6secs. In real life on the road no real difference. Personal skills, traction and human launch control probably account for a similar or greater variance.

Oh and another Merry Xmas to get back on track.
