Very pretty. Was that the car on Pistonheads former keeper a Mr Kahn ?
Zep tells me if you buy any part of a car with a credit card, then they have a vested interest and will legally support you at no cost. Worth considering.
Nice Maserati, the only Lotus i new, is from special agent J Bond. 007
My first question, perhaps because it revolves around some nervousness, is with my MC-Shift, if I feel particularly lazy sometimes, is it OK to use Auto mode in terms of clutch wear and also it would make sense to me to be more mechanically friendly to select Neutral at the lights, or when stationary in traffic. Is that a good assumption?
I can't see why Auto would be any different - it's changing your upshifts as well as your downs - same thing applies, right?
Having some of the car on finance can indeed be useful in the event of a claim. Last year my business partner rejected a 599 he’d bought, on which he had about 30% finance. He suspected a problem with the engine (a strange sound about 3 minutes after start up, but only lasting a few seconds) but it took a full year to finally get his money back (plus interest, costs, etc). The finance company had to pay him out in full, following the intervention of the Financial Ombudsman, and then try to recoup their loss by selling the car (and/or battling the original supplying dealer). If he’d paid for the car fully with cash, it could have been a very different outcome.

correct, I always part pay with my credit card, be it goods, holidays etc exactly for that reason and it can simply be as little as a couple of hundred pounds on the credit card, don't use a debit card
