What extras are there for the 25 owners of this special Exige? There’s the paint job, a Lotus Exclusive custom livery with bespoke pin-striping and body decals, plus you get bespoke trim in the cabin along with a commemorative numbered plaque. With the lightweight titanium exhaust system as standard, along with some other weight-saving carbon bits, the T25 comes in a little lighter than a standard Cup car.
Well, it would be lighter as long as you don’t keep one other extra that comes with the car in the glovebox: that’s a copy of the book, Jim Clark: Tribute to a Champion, signed by Clive Chapman and Bob Dance, Jim Clark’s principal mechanic.
Price? £110,000.
And just for fun….
