Hi I paid £400. It was scarcely on the car so I’d like £360. I’m in Surrey but happy to meet Sussex or the Surrey side of Kent. South London would work as well.

I bought the factory cover but since selling the car I don’t need it. Collection preferred I don’t want to post it and risk it getting lost. If you see this photo elsewhere - it’s been scammed!!

Loads of these advertised here seem to be scams. I have mine which was on the car perhaps twice in the time I owned it- I kept using the car and there didn’t seem much point leaving the cover on it! I bought the OEM Lotus cover from the shop at Hethel and paid close to £400 for it. It has Emira...

Has anyone actually seen an Eos Green or Purple car at a dealer ready for sale? I’ve seen none in the real world as yet.

I was amazed they ever agreed to replace coatings or films from the outset. Nice thing to offer but they wouldn’t be liable for it unless they or their dealer supplied the car with it new and you are the original owner. Given the horrific costs involved with all of this and their current...

I’d be amazed if a dealer will bid £56k. I’d take that with both hands if I were you. WBAC clearly don’t want them as, when I checked last month, they’d dropped to bidding mid £40’s. I took less on mine from trade little over a month ago. £56k is a good trade bid and I doubt you will see anymore...

Anyone looking to order a new one now is bold indeed. If they flatline there would have to be serious concerns about what warranty remains and how it would work. TVR made standout looking cars. They never became more valuable when TVR folded.

Precursor to production of Emira going to the US?

I just don’t think the niche is big enough. The car barely sells as is. We know they can offer the V6 with a little more bhp as per the Exige application. The AMG unit can also develop more. Both those solutions are far cheaper than engineering and seeking requisite approval for an entirely new...

There is serious optimism on this thread. Geely close to ending manufacture of the Emira. Europe 10 years away from ending sale of combustion engined cars. UK 5 years away. No looming ban in the US. Will Geely sanction more development cost on a niche car that sadly hasn’t set the global market...

I owned a late TVR when the brand died. Values took a big hit. I’m still traumatised.

Interesting but none of these 3rd party companies seem to offer anything like the bumper to bumper Porsche warranty. I want to know that paint issue is covered all the while I own the car as well. They full well know there is an issue and should be offering a recall.

That said- the price proximity to a new 911 makes them a tough sell new. At £60k you are buying a 911 a decade old as opposed to a 2 year old Emira
