Lotus Evora Meets Trivett Sydney

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – March 12, 2009: Lotus Cars has officially found its new Sydney home, teaming with the highly reputable Trivett Group, Australia’s largest premier automotive dealer, located in the heart of Sydney’s CBD.

The stunning new Lotus Evora continued its global tour with an exclusive preview evening at Trivett Lotus Sydney to a select group of 250 guests, VIP and media, before its official release planned for Spring 2009.

Unveiled for the first time in the southern hemisphere at the Melbourne Motor Show two weeks ago, the Evora proved to be a star of the show, with tremendous interest and a significant number of expressions of interest taken for the high-performance 2+2 sports coupe.

The Trivett Lotus Sydney reveal evening took place on Wednesday 11th March and was hosted by Greg Duncan (Executive Chairman - Trivett Group) and John Startari (Managing Director - Lotus Cars Australia) who welcomed an array of guests including existing and prospect Lotus customers alongside many high-profile Sydney based personalities.

A range of Lotus vehicles were on display during the evening, from the entry level Elise S priced at $69,990 to the Lotus 2-Eleven track vehicle, and spearheaded by the new Lotus Evora which offered the ideal launch platform for the Lotus and Trivett partnership

The Trivett Lotus Sydney showroom places Lotus in front of thousands each day at the 52-58 William Street, Sydney premises and is now in full operation.

Jonathan Stretton, General Manager Lotus Cars Australia, has welcomed Trivett into the Lotus dealer family: "In the lead-up to the major launch of the Evora, it's both appropriate and encouraging that Lotus will be working in Sydney with such a professional and highly regarded organisation such as Trivett.

“Being located alongside Bentley in the William Street Showroom is prime positioning and, with Lotus offering a balance between sports and performance, it is a harmonious addition to complement Trivett’s existing brands”

Greg Duncan, Executive Chairman said: "Trivett is delighted to represent Lotus in Sydney. We are proud to again represent Lotus in this market after doing so over a decade ago. It is fitting that as we celebrate 25 years of prestige motoring in 2009, we are reunited with such a dynamic brand that has been a part of our past - and will now be a part of our future.

"However, I can assure you that we don't only measure our success by the brands we represent. Our success comes from achieving customer loyalty - and we work hard in every business to ensure we earn it every day. We remain committed to representing the world's finest motoring brands simply because Trivett customers expect more choice." said Duncan.

The Trivett Group stable includes 15 brands such as Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, Bentley, Harley Davidson and Bugatti employing a staff of more than 500, proving 'prestige motoring' really is about the company you keep.

The Trivett Group currently sells over 7000 vehicles every year with a turnover of half a billion dollars.
