Great vid, I almost started to believe the quality / craftsmanship hype!

But seriously, the build quality of my '07 seems quite a bit better than my '06.

"...in the end, you've got one of the greatest sports cars...".

Awesome!

I think the fit and finish is pretty good for a low volume application specific vehicle. I am very impressed with the manufacturing technics. I attribute the rattles and such to lack of vibration absorbtion.

Bravo! It makes you like this amazing machine more! A hand built car for 50K!!

cheers

These videos are awesome. Good job Lotus. I like the factory one as I get to think to myself "I remember that!"

Now go grab the camera and walk over to Classic Lotus and get some of the history that are in those buildings...
