The Lotus's and the RS200's look like the 'runts of the litter' in that company to be honest

Exactly! Cars weren't meant to be put in warehouses and polished. They were meant to be driven. And its a complete waste IMHO to acquire that many cars and never drive them. I'm no fan of Jay Kay, but at least he drives the things.

I always say let the manufacturers worry about keeping some minters/ historically important cars (Cars that won championshps or have an interesting story attached) for their museums. The general public should buy to drive.
