Ok, quick initial car thoughts, before it's fully run in! 770 miles now. V6 manual, First Edition. Sports Suspension / Chassis Goodyear tyres Obviously it looks insane, I love it. I don't need to talk about that as we all know what it looks like. The engine is starting to loosen up as...

'Official' Lotus PR team pics were mailed over to me today - here's a few ahead of their press release:

By default the 'auto hand brake' is set to off. You have to turn it on in a menu. Track mode turns it off again.

UPDATE............ So I'm 650 miles ish into the car now. So some thoughts on that tomorrow!!! Hethel collection feedback first: Arriving at Hethel 4am start to fly down from Edinburgh to Stansted, hire car (Hertz, avoid, terrible), 1.5 hr drive to Hethel (cheers Kev). We pull up the...

Thanks for all the kind comments guys! I know a lot of you are frustrated if you were expecting yours already etc, but they are coming, the factory is working and the facility is amazing. It's worth the wait honestly. First up - social media. I've posted a few pics in this thread, and I'll...

Well Friday 11th November, 2022, was a special day! I got to pickup UK customer car number 8, and the 1st ever Hethel factory collection of an Emira. Massive thanks to Scott Walker and Matt Windle, absolute pleasure meeting you both and for the handover, tour of the factory and all the chat...

Pickup at Hethel tomorrow :) Can't wait! Hand written letter sent to me with the passes, is a nice touch, and a voucher to spend in the lotus shop! thanks Scott if your reading this!! :) Also meeting the PR team to get pics of the car and handover process which will be interesting...

Awesome I can get a test drive next month, 3 weeks AFTER I get my Emira. Bizarre sequence of events.

I'm invoice 0008. Who got 007 ? :)

Flight to Stansted, then hire car, seems to be the most logical. Or it's 11 hours and 3 trains. Mad. Reason I'm going for the factory collection is just the experience tbh, tour, look about, just the excitement I think! Plus half the running in will be done by the time I get it home so...

Woohooo. Pickup date confirmed for next Friday from Hethel. Roll on 11/11. Which is a nightmare to get to from Edinburgh public travel wise it seems.

oh hell yes. 26mins 20 seconds. An absolutely identical car to mine going through QA at the same time I've been told mine is going through QA. I'll never know, but could be mine - either way cool to see :)

The above is exactly what I've ordered, exactly my spec. I have also been told last week my car is in Quality Assurance. And that video has a car of my exact spec, going through QA.... could actually be mine I guess :) I'll never know though!

Has everyone in the 'September 9' completed checkout now??

Received my checkout email last week, number plate assigned, finance approved - good to go - just waiting on collection dates now. Then got that email we all got... so hoping mine isn't delayed further, as if I've got through all the checkout I assume it's actually built already?

I am a member of the September Nine, and received my email also. GAP is about the only thing I'd consider however. I'm not sure if that sounds like a terrorist group, religious cult or something even more sinister though!

Hi Tom, Deposit was put in a couple of hours after the reveal on 6th July - and my build has the homelink and tracker specced.

Thanks mate - I had planned to wait till I had the car, but it keeps drifting..... :D

Long time lurker, first time poster.... September build email arrived this morning. Hethel Yellow, Manual, Silver wheels. Seems to be most of batch one are delayed to Oct/Nov with a few in Sept based on what people are posting across various forums.
