Dear Apothecary,
Welcome aboard! Just out of curiosity, myself never having owned a Lotus is there any truth in the rumour that Lotus stands for Loads Of Trouble Usually Serious????
I drive a roadster and love it dearly, however the only advice I would give you, should you buy one, is make sure you concerntrate on the immediate road surface ahead because the engine sump is VERY VERY low, and you wouldnt want any nasty suprises ---would he Frank 4+4?
All the best for now ---David of SW19
