Stratstone Lotus Cardiff

You know that you’re near the posh part of town when you see a Stratstone Car Dealership in your midst. Probably the largest luxury vehicle retailer in Europe, their name is allied to all of the cars that you have ever wanted to own, but have never been able to afford! Stratstone has been in business since 1921. That’s nearly a century — almost as long as cars have been in existence!
The Cardiff branch specializes in Lotus and Aston Martins, but can supply you with the car of your dreams, whatever the make, as long as you’ve got the cash to pay for it. This is very unlikely as far as I’m concerned, but every now and then I like to indulge in a spot of window shopping, just to keep abreast of how the ‘other half’ live.
Something struck me as I peered through the pristine plate glass windows, scrunching my nose, with mouth agape, in that kind of none-​comprehending questioning way that we tend to assume when the answer is straight in front of us, but we haven’t quite figured it out yet… Stratstone have publicized the fact that they are in the market for second hand Lotus, up to five years old, which I simply thought might be a ploy to get people to trade in their old sports cars and buy a new one. But then it dawned on me… even the rich might be feeling the pinch! How about that?
