Was out and about on sunday and saw a gorgeous S2 elise with hard top on

Got me thinking that i'd never seen an S1 in white and wondered if they had every made them?

Yep they did make them, reportedly 6 came out of the factory in (old English)white. I have only ever seen one (when not at a lotus event) which I spotted a few times less than 1/2 a mile from where I live but that was a few years ago now

Was it a looker?

I've got a real thing about White cars at the moment!

Never seen one in white, the S1 Exige looks great in white.

I've seen one in pure white, whatever that's called, definitely not the old english. I think it was a Sport 190 too.

Got to admit it was*

There was a white S1 Exige parked up at Pure Lotus yesterday - it looked really good, obviously someone's pride and joy.

I saw a white S1 a couple of times around Rotherham about 5 or 6 years ago, at first i thought it was a MX5

I'm getting temped by the idea but with a (little twist of course)

*cough*StandardColourDennis*cough*

Like I said..'with a little twist'

I have a few other ideas, it just depends on how brave I feel

They were in Monaco white (same as Esprit). Maybe only 6 UK registered, but a load of white ones went to Japan.

Aye that was the name
