The Oily Bits S1 Specific Topics

Hi, I just updated my Exige S1 gallery,

still there are lots of missing colours so feel free to
post or send photos to: [email protected] if you’d like to see them added to the website :slight_smile:

Shouldn’t the yellow be called Spice Yellow? It’s also metallic. Might be worth looking into.

3

IIRC, Spice yellow and Mustard Yellow are the same, at least that’s what I’ve been told :slight_smile:

4

Not to sure about that one, Spice Yellow is metallic. My mate had a Norfolk Mustard Elise and it different to my Exige.

“Mustard Yellow” and “Norfolk Mustard” are different colours.

Norfolk Mustard is a solid car as used on Esprits in the mid’90s and early Elises. Around 1999, this colour was discontinued and changed to “Mustard Yellow”, which was a metallic. This is also known as “Spice Yellow” (although not sure where this name came from as it’s not in any official documentation I’ve seen. Confusingly I’ve also seen it referred to as “Norfolk Mustard Metallic”… although again, only by non-official sources.

12

Nothing within the chassis number but on the vin sticker in the front access compartment it shows the paint code on there.

13

Does anyone know if the “Metallic Green” that I’ve added to the website is the same as “Lotus Racing Green” standard colour?

Cheers

Sorry won’t be able to come to Spa… but if you come to Le Mans one day, please come and visit me :wink: I am located on the 24 hours of Le Mans track (between Porsche and Arnage curve) and at only 2 miles from the main entrance and the Bugatti track and 1 mile from the Maison Blanche track. As you might know there are 3 tracks at Le Mans now :slight_smile:
