Lotus Emira help

I contacted Bell & Colvill as a Lotus authorised dealer for advice following an issue with a Lotus Emira purchased elsewhere. The team could not have been more responsive and helpful. B&C were willing to get the car in to the workshop straight away to inspect and were immediately on to help rectify. Thank you to Phil, Katie and team.

I have just bought a Lotus Elise from…

I have just bought a Lotus Elise from this company and could not fault any aspect of the transaction,I dealt with both Jamie the sales director and Richard an experience executive they were totally professional in all stages of my purchase.
There is a family feel about the business and you certainly feel part of it ,after all they are the oldest Lotus deal in the world so they know the product better than most.
A big thank you to all the team,I give them the highest recommendation ,this is based on my experience as a retired Group MD of a Motor Retail group .
