    Chris Harris selling his 992 GT3 Touring

    I just don’t understand how Harris can say 991GT3 is better than 992 GT3 - same as Metcalfe did before he changed his mind. Rubbish !! Must be some hidden agenda here. Just swapped a 991gt3 for a 992gt3 - the 992 is better in every way in terms of development - steering , ride ( way better ...

    I'm out - the cancellations thread

    I’m out !! Told Lotus yesterday and they asked me for feedback. Numerous reasons of course - can’t be bothered to write war and peace ! Enhance and protect a month ago but nothing since. Too many delays , false promises - cancelled a GTS 992 because Emira was due June 22 - so annoying. Not...

    UK deposit to order checkout to delivery process

    The Lamborgini dealer told me that the ppf dents when hit by a stone so looked unsightly - only a year old car.

    Paint Protection Film (PPF) and Wrap for your Emira

    Why not just pay the paint protect policy @£399 when you buy the car - covers 18 claims. Huge saving over cost of PPF. If the ppf is dented the dealer you sell the car back to will have to peel off , re spray and then put ppf back on. I just have the cars detailed and then wash very carefully...

    UK deposit to order checkout to delivery process

    How long after the protect email would you expect to receive the checkout email ? Noticed on the protect email you can protect the paint for £399 - 18 claims . Why would you bother with PPF ? Dealers tell me that when reselling they often have to peel the front ppf off and re paint and polish...

    Emiras advertised for sale on other sites

    Yes , that is the brutal bare truth of it. Wanted to love it . Looks great , but unfortunately that is it.Lotus standards are just not acceptable to a modern car buyer in volume. Pretty sure I am going to cancel - keep putting off the inevitable as don’t want the dream to end really !

    The great big "all the customer test drives" thread

    Test drive at Silverstone . Red car with Touring chassis. Red did not look very exciting , although was dirty. Hethel Yellow car being collected looked really nice. Seats ok , more side support would be better. Driving position fine. Didn’t like the Ice Grey leather. Alcantara with Yellow...

    📓 Journals Diaries of the first Lotus Emira picked up from Hethel - V6 FE - yellow / ice / silver / sport

    To me most colours and especially the Yellow looks 100% better with the full Black pack . Lowers the car and makes it look way more striking and purposeful. Boring if we all liked the same.

    📓 Journals New member with actual Emira

    I had a manual GT4 - engine was very flat and disappointing all because of the gearing - made the engine sound muted. No fun unless you were doing 90 mph in second !! I sold the car after 2 months. My son has a pdk Gt4 and it is so much better . With the extra gear you can keep it on the boil...

    Anyone received their 30 day notification yet?

    Spoke to cs this morning and my “October build schedule and firmly locked in spec etc “ is now most probably sometime Q1. Why can’t I alter my spec !!! I was told 200-300 cars in total to be built this year but that includes everything, so can’t see many U.K. customers getting there...

    Hethel Yellow Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    Hi , I posted a pic from Hethel back in August - looked a bit underwhelming to me with the basic wheels and no Black Pack.
