Is the Lotus Exige a good investment?
Series 1 (2000–2001)
The thesis
Exceptionally rare first-generation Exige with only ~600 built globally and fewer than 250 UK-registered examples. Under 100 unadulterated cars remain on UK roads in 2024. Now eligible for US 25-year import rule, creating new demand. Raw, analogue driving experience with VHPD Rover K-series engine. Rarity is driving prices up sharply.
