UK dealer demo cars - specifications

That would be great as I'm booked in for a 2nd test drive in early Jan at Solihull specifically for Touring suspension (my order) - it looks like the next nearest location for me is Bristol (6 hour commute there and back) .
That is Sport at Bristol I believe. Why I'd expect their sister dealership to be given touring. I will call them after the dentist...
 
Thanks, just seen it and updated the list. Do you know if it's Sports or Touring?
Hi Tom

I have checked and it is a Sports Chassis

What are Lotus doing..... So being based in the Midlands I have access to Bradford, Notts and Solihull and they are all Sports 🤦‍♂️ and also all blue I believe same as the one car we have all seen..... brilliant.

Big up Jade at Lotus Solihul for being so nice however 👸👍

Edited to add Silverstone Sports as well, so I guess that is that. Here is hoping I hate Sport :)

All we can hope for is someone close to us, who is on this Forum with touring suspension, who may take us out ;)

Wait, Silverstone is sports? So the four or five reviews in the test drive thread are not actually for the tour setup!? <tableflip>

How are dealers verifying this info? Crawling under the car to look at the markings on the damper / spring?

Sorry that's my bad was looking at their showroom car on page 1.
Guess Silverstone it is!
This shouldn't be so hard.

I've updated Rybrook Birmingham from Touring to Sports. Rybrook Bristol and Silverstone are correctly showing as Touring.

Ahhh the elusive Shaddow Grey.... does it exist in this country? Or just abroad. I have seen them on Youtube but wonder if it is just a myth.

I've seen two in real life, one the dynamic prototype that was at Goodwood 2021 and toured a few other locations after the reveal, and a second one mid-build at the factory.

I believe it's the least ordered First Edition colour? Which is a shame, as it's quite classy and understated. It appears to change colour with lighting and surroundings, so photographs can be slightly misleading - I've seen ones where it looks black, purple and dark purple as well as a bright silver-grey metallic.
