My original delivery date was advised as Autumn '22 but got successively delayed to Spring '24 then recently came back to July '23 and now June. Colin

It's a Cayman S with £17.7k of options, rather a nice spec. and given the Emira price rise it's OTR cost is about £11k cheaper.

When I was told it would be Spring '24 I ordered a Porsche, just in case the Lotus became further delayed beyond Spring '24. I was fortunate to get an early build slot for the Porker and that's arriving in June. Now, suddenly, Lotus tell me the Emira is arriving a year earlier? WTF do they...

Yes, especially as my drive is 90 deg. to a 1:5 cul-de-sac, makes it fun for a low spoiler with all the camber changes. And there's now 2" of snow on the untreated cul-de-sac. So much for my test drive on Saturday! Yes, demo is(was) to be a manual. Cheers Colin

My V6 auto order (deposit 29.10.21) that had been extended to Spring '24 suddenly reverted to July '23 about 6 weeks ago. Then, last week I received the final config email. As I've not been able to drive the car yet (long demo delays, broken down demonstrator and two cancelled appts.) I wasn't...

Thanks. Yes, a couple of weeks ago I called Parks and the non-Lotus guy said the Nimbus car had arrived the day before but they didn't know whether it was for showroom display or demo and they would call me back to arrange a drive if it was for demo purposes. So far no call. C

I was just sitting by, watching the process go on endlessly with my original date of Q1/2 2022 being stretched to Q2 2024. Cue lots of issues with early deliveries etc. and my enthusiasm declined, especially due to the lack of a test drive, the Parks car is still off the road, no contact from...

It’s a V6 Auto.

Interestingly I received an email yesterday, advising that my Q2 2024 date has now been brought forward to July 2023. Must be a cancellation of a similar spec., Magma, Ice Grey, no BP, DC, Auto? Quite out of the blue, very surprised. Colin Edit: And I‘ve still not had a test drive due to the...

All test drives at Parks Hamilton next week are cancelled as the car is still off the road “after several weeks“ with a heater/ac issue where the unit constantly runs and flattens the battery, parts awaited from Lotus! There‘s also a “terrible“ noise, their words, that they‘re unable to...

That‘s concerning. I’m booked in for a test drive there on the 26th Jan. I‘d better check before travelling. Cheers.

Same for me, received the same email on Friday. Deposit Oct. '21. Originally told Q3 '22 then Spring '23 and now Q1 '24. Puzzled as to what to get as a stopgap.

TomE: I spoke with Parks of Hamilton yesterday and Cameron advised that the Seneca car is the demo and is on Sport and the showroom car (Magma with Ice Grey) is on Tour. Cheers.

Just had the same email. Ordered my V6 FE on Oct. 29th. and have been advised of a "Spring 2023" delivery. Colin
