Mine also had the tracker but not activated.

Mine is an AO plate from Auto100. Was 4 months old and had 1300 miles on it
Strangely it had the Scorpion tracker fitted, but not activated, so pretty certain it wasn't a private owner

Mine has the tracker fitted but not activated as well. Although our plates are different, it sounds like our cars are related!

Me too, AO plate from Auto100, Was 4 months old and had 1900 miles on it. 1 Key and 1 fob for Scorpion tracker not activated. I think mine was a press car, as I have since seen it on Youtube being reviewed.

Why would they put a tracker on a press car? Do you think there’s a difference, in terms of their use, between the ones without a tracker and those with?

My car is now with Lotus Colchester. Has anyone got any experience of their workshop? I’ve had three emails from them (I had to prompt them all) and each email has contradicted the last one! The first said they had taken the engine and gearbox out of the car to replace the clutch bearing. The second said they couldn’t give me a timescale for the repair as the doors were on back order and when I said I was happy for the doors to be done at a later date, they said that the delay was because they were going to take the engine and gearbox out to diagnose the problem! I don’t think they’ve even looked at ,y car yet.

Anyone got good or bad experiences with them?

(Happy for admin to move this post to a separate post as this is no longer about Auto100)

The fob part was cheaper than this from my local dealer (Oakmere) £96.86 and they are off the shelf virgin fobs. Its the internal key blade thats the expensive bit and takes weeks to come from China! See below:-

Worth WhatsApp the vendor to see if the blank key blade comes with it ?

I am trying to find out which manufacturer the keys/locks come from. Hoping then, its just a matter of getting the blade cut by Timsons or the like.
No luck on the manufacturer so far though

My car was originally an AU23 plate, factory registered, but was Hendy Southampton's dealer demo car (yes the factory registered those too on behalf of the dealers) f

The Dealers didn't own those demo cars. (during the direct sales model period)
Lotus loaned the cars to the dealers, and paid a 'fee' for each demo performed.
