Still beggars me that this was dropped 3 years ago, but there you are!

Isn't this a trademark term? Barring the trademark owners being the purchasers, why would anyone else buy it?

should not be a trademark problem as multiple uses - you couldn't for example try and sell sports cars on it, but it could make a cracking name for a chinese restaurant or florist and shouldnt have any trademark objections

it's a flower

use for anything non motor related

Is it a £6000 flower?

I just think if it did not have the car connection, would it have gone for the same cash? My view is not, interesting to see what buyer does with it....

nice domain though

Well done to the seller for a fantastic sale, but I must admit I was surprised at how high it went.

Admittedly I first think about cars with the term Lotus, it will be interesting to see if the name is developed or just resold.

For a large florist, it's a perfect name.
