Why are there only few S2 Exiges and S3 Elises?

Every time I look on Autotrader or Pistonheads it seems like the S2 Elise is the most popular, but there are still a fair few S3s for sale. However when looking at Exiges it seems that about 90% of them are the S3 type and there are very few S2s out there (at least for sale). Is there a reason for this - was the S2 Exige produced in quite limited numbers, or are they old enough and fast enough that a load of them have been crashed by now?

Autumn Drive

Seven days of ownership with my Exige V6 and I'm absolutely loving this car!

I was a bit uncertain about black at one point (I was deciding between black, orange, and blue), but to me now I can't imagine another color. It really compliments the backdrop. I also think it looks super wicked at night, like a phantom silhouette emerging from the shadows.

Having purchased it in Autumn (on Halloween), I'll always associate it with this time of year.

Found this, any ideas where it is from?

Parents had a sort out and this managed to trickle it's way to me, I wondered if anyone had any ideas on this?

Thanks

Winter Storage

It’s my first winter with the Elise so I’d appreciate any tips from the veterans on how to keep her healthy. I usually have a spare set of wheels with snow tires but that isn’t in the cards this year.

I have a trickle charger but how do I keep my UHP tires from flat spotting and make sure she wakes up in the spring?

Requisite pic with a Cybertruck for attention.

Red Elise seats

I have been looking for a set of 2005 -2011 Elise seats for a way too long of a time now without luck. I am either always late to the sell or the people I know who have them will not let them go. I currently have a black set in my Mazda Miata. I have had them for years. But about a year ago I went with a full red interior and have been looking for a red set of lotus seats since. I am trying my luck in here. Does anyone know of a set currently for sale or maybe you can point me in the direction of someone who might be willing to sell.

Picture is just of exactly the set I am looking for. Bonus points if its one of the special ordered special embroidered seats.

Best place to buy an Evora (400/GT)

In the market for an Evora 400 or GT, but unfortunately not coming across a ton. Seeing if people here have some good resources, I’ve used auction websites before (CaB, BaT), but want to also look elsewhere while I wait for a suitable one to pop up.

Anyone happen to know the parts number or any replacements for these rubber bits in the Elise S2 hard top?

Thought I’d ask you all before I went through the whole Lotus Talk route haha. One of mine appears to have gone brittle and disintegrated, while the other seems to be in okay enough shape.

Emira wheels - options!

I like the emira wheels, but I don’t love them.

Has anyone gone for different, if so what?

Interested to find out.

Happy Halloween!

It’s 80 degrees in Kentucky today, perfect for a topless run to work. Skelly is my favorite passenger because he never complains when I corner slightly more enthusiastically than the law recommends.
