61mph in first gear @ the limiter

20-22mpg on a slow motorway run

At max speed you could drink the whole tank dry in 50 miles

Proven that they will hit the limiter in 6th @ 187mph

Only 284 ever got to the UK, and they were all imperial green. Any other colour, and they simply arnt Lotus carltons!

New front pads cost over £350 from vauxhall

They were £48 brand new back in 1991!!

gotta love it. i think i want one.

what do u lot reckon, 19 years old, living in high risk area with 2 yr ncb?

Should have saved your pocket money for a few weeks in '91 if they were that cheap
