Didn’t think of that! Nice :) Seriously, though I went to grocery store, farm stand, butcher and nursery to prep for Memorial Day barbecue and fit it all in the Emira. The shelf behind the seats can fit 5 full grocery bags!

Spring garden shopping with my Lotus Emira! (Not shown: trunk and rear seat shelf packed with Memorial Day barbecue food as well!)

Interesting, I thought of copying the original turbo esprit type style too but it doesn’t really work on the Emira (and I don’t have the turbo) Thinking I might put Lotus above Emira and offset it same way but using current typstyles.

Same here, LHD location but only occasionally. Bordering on being annoying though, will mention to dealer when I bring in for service.

What the? Something’s not right with that. Car can’t have been here since December…. All Lotus dealers are low volume…. I thought I was being left behind with a Sep 2021 deposit but you are even father in the dust. My dealer clearly didn’t want to waste time as every day it sits on their...
