2008 Exige Sprint

Edit - it’s gone :frowning:

Good luck Will beautiful car.

Thanks Jonny. I wouldn’t get rid of it normally but the factory are offering a very good deal on the V6 right now that my wife has actually okay’d!

Go for it Will, look forward to seeing the pics mate.

Good luck with the sale .
Did not realise there was another just like mine so close .
Make sure you sell it to a true enthusiast who will appreciate it…
Your comparisons with the V 6 will be interesting.

I’ve had a V6 for a long weekend already. It’s naffing quick, a bit less like a kit car, naffing quick, bigger, naffing quick, heavier steering at walking speed, naffing quick and much more torquey and so willing to slide at low speed.

Did I mention that it’s a bit fast? I do have some concerns about the gearbox, the example I drove was a little vague but I’m hoping that was because it was a dealer demo with 11k hard miles on it.

No idea on the colour scheme at the moment, hopefully a trip to the factory will help. Maybe the persian blue/aspen white scheme again but my wife isn’t too keen on that one for some reason.

Have you seen the Red/Gold/White V6 that was done at the factory? That car convinced me that the Sprint scheme looks great on the S2 but probably desn’t work on the V6.

Good luck with the sale, I miss mine already :frowning:

I have. I thought it looked great…

Just dropped it off at Silverstone Lotus for the last time. The last drive was quite emotional for me, I’m sure Aimee will sell it really quickly and whoever buys it is getting a cracking car. Still, roll on April!

Keep us informed with all the options Will…

And I’m now no longer the legal owner either - well done Aimee!

Jonny, the replacement is basically going to be a Persian blue V6 Sprint! With the gold detail being painted this time around and a few other additional bits of matching gold bling, such as the filler surround and the spoiler struts, I’m confident it’s going to look great. Aimee is also going to get the wheels resprayed in the correct shade of gold to match the detail and I’ve asked her to investigate how much it would cost/time to cover the dash etc in alcantara. Hopefully should be ready in mid- April, it’s going to be a long wait!

That sounds stunning. Congrats :clap:

blue and gold is going to look ace :clap:

Thanks guys. Pictures will be posted when I have some!!
