Pete - Is it possible to copyright a number? Has Westfield bought all the rights from the original Lotus Eleven?

No idea Chet, but Westfield would not have gone the route they did with the Eleven without checking that sort of detail.

Yeah try anything with 3 numbers and a zero in the middle and see what Peugeot have to say.

Lots of 7s out there though!!

11 is good too!

Chet what would you like mate?

How about Brian?

I only say that because a friends daughter asked "Why does my friends house had a name and ours has a number."
Her mum said "We could give our house a name, what should we call it?"...
"Lets call it Brian" came the reply. :D

Just had a thought... "Phil" might be more appropriate... or is that too obvious/cryptic? :roll:

Jeff -

It appears that the "Storm" name is already taken.

Was your suggestion for "Long John Sylva" meant for the extended wheelbase version?
:D

Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island rather than Debbie Does Dallas Chet ;)

I like Sylva Chaos ....based on the Riot. Civil Disturbance doesn't work as well...

Shrike

Does the proposed numbering system make the Stylus a 7 ?
