Hi,
I have an I4 November build date and was concerned that my build date had slipped with the detail contained within the colour email yesterday as it stated ;

"The Emira V6 and Emira 4-cylinder turbocharged variant will start production in 2024".

Spoke to lotus webchat, they confirmed that yes i can change my colour as i`m later than August build and that my November build date was still in place.

Whether they`ll hit November is, of course, a different conversation but they said the email was poorly worded and everything is ok.

Hopefully the info above is useful to anyone who had the same thoughts.

Agree with your wife. (Then tan interior and silver wheels, Alcantra steering with yellow stripe; Yellow brake calipers)

Wrapping Orange Peel (ha ha ha) - Just joking❣️ I also see tempting alternatives like Osmium Silver and White (with or wihout black-pack.) I am not personally alien to the stronger version of orange; but for other reasons, like not making my car a “target”, I probably won’t go there. I will most likely stay with the subdued Dark Verdant. In the past I had a new 1992 Montego Blue FD3S RX-7 which was a metallic color that would look blue or green depending on the light shining on the car body.

BTW - my build is supposedly going to happen during November 2023 as well.
