I saw that too - lovely looking silver car that appears to have had a full burgundy leather re-trim too - I guess whether you think this makes it cool depends on whether you think a 'posh' English brand of shirts is cool or one for men of a certain age!

I certainly think the ad is to create an air of luxury brand styling......

OK, so at the risk of showing my age and in truth admitting that I've never even driven one the +2 has always been cool and the sight of one brings back that late 60s early 70s frame of mind that no GT6 or TR6 or MG A/B/C or 240 Z or Camaro or Vette could ever bring. Maybe a 911 or an E Type or a GTV Alfa, and not quite the panache of a Maserati or Ferrari or Aston, but always, always cool!

Probably the failsafe model and no-one knew which knob lowered the headlights....

I have seen this car before on the front cover of the AA magazine 2 years ago, it belonged to a classic car club in London, very distinctive paint and, interior colour I remember as it was the same as my sunbeam alpine

I think the +2 is cool ... It might be controversial but i think they look better lights up!>??
Mine is the same colour as the one in the ad. Its not original, but it is a Lotus colour (Saturn Silver).
Sadly i dont have a nice brugundy interior .. mines original black plastic with lots of ... 'patina' (think thats how a dealer might describe it)

My Plus2 is COOL,just had the wheels rebalanced ( why can't one trust a professional to do a decent job ?) and is now as smooth as silk...just come back from the test drive ( with the drivers widow down ) and at an indicated 100 it was actually 95 mph at 4250 rpm in 5th,gearchange not as good as the Ford box but not far behind...Summer's here...
