There can’t be much to do in Hethel. Other than design new special edition Lotuses. We should all chip in and get them a bowling alley or something because let’s be honest, this is getting a bit silly.

And yet, here we have the Exige Cup 430 Type 25 – a homage to the Type 25 F1 car that gave Lotus its first Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championships way back in 1963. So you get a ‘unique livery’ in either Lotus Racing Green or Old English White with contrast pinstriping, special decals, bespoke carbon-fibre bargeboards and so-on. Inside you get Alcantara-shod carbon race seats, a special plaque and wooden gear knob.

Mechanically speaking, it’s the same as the Exige 430. Same 3.5-litre V6, 3.2 second 0-60mph time and 180mph top speed. Same clever suspension, serious aero and fantastically nerdy open-gated six-speed manual transmission. You can read all about those things in our review.

Just 25 will be built at £110,000 each - £10k more than standard. Owners will also be given a certificate signed by Lotus CEO Jean-Marc Gales, a tour of the Lotus factory and a book signed by Clive Chapman and Bob Dance – a mechanic who worked on Jim Clark’s F1 cars.

Same time tomorrow for the next special Lotus? You bet.
