Nothing to me yet, it's a Slough number?

Same email for me, I guess Harry will have a lot of views at 5pm Sunday!!!

Interesting they say it is in production, I seem to remember they were meant to be making one car in minutes rather than weeks!!............................................

Same for me, I'm meant to be October build

I was told a few weeks ago October build, November delivery heard nothing since so followed up by email last week. Had below reply today which indicates all still on track, but still leaves them with a 30 day window!. Lets's see................ Before anyone asks I was Thursday of Goodwood...

Well said!

I was a bit confused as had been on a long conference meeting with people in the Far East!! :rolleyes: Still it is now a valid question!! :p

Any bets when the first phone call will actually be made!........... September starts tomorrow!.................

He took my deposit at Goodwood his business card was my receipt!! :)

I sent an email to Scott Walker regarding these latest delivery dates and he told me there were demo and some customer cars being built now so hopefully these should stand with a handfull of completions in September but ramping up through Oct/Nov/Dec. Mine is October build. Mind you Felixstowe...

The fact that everyone is comparing the Emira to cars 2-3 times the price indicates to me that the Emira should be dam good!! :) By the way I went into a Porsche showroom having turned up in my Elise, got totally ignored for 20 minutes so walked out. Went into Ferrari next door and they were all...

I recently had an email stating October build, November delivery, my order was Thursday of Goodwood, 8th July 2021, originally July 2022 delivery. I followed up to see how certain they were for the latest delivery and they said the following; Thank you for your email. Please be advised that...

Hi Tom, I intended to go on the original trip but had a work clash, hopefully the new date in spring will suit so put me down please!

24x24 for me I’d go for blue as it’s my choice for the car, I do agree that it could do with a bit more contrast with the background. Stunning work though!

I saw an Emira in Bury St Edmunds yesterday morning only got within 6 cars of it in a queue, but as you comment about DV above the car was in a dark colour, looked vaguely green to me but could have been Shadow Grey. Glad I went for bright blue!!!! Still looked brilliant though!!

I presume this delay is based on the parts still to come in so could be extended if they don't!!

At the end of the day we can compare anything with anything, but the standard emira is not aimed at the gt4 customer, so I think its a waste of time comparing, clearly it will lose, but if your customer is a 60 year old guy who wants a softer ride, no shouty spoiler and quieter inside, then a...

Yes they were constantly cleaning and polishing the black roof on the Goodwood stand, it showed up every single spec of dust!!. No black top for me! :)

I’m interested in the Seneca put me on the list, fab work!

I found the lotus management equally frustrated with the delays, it has been a logistical nightmare for them. I’m in a manufacturing business so have experienced similar issues With the V6 probably having to be terminated sometime in 2025 they are losing valuable sales with these delays, good...

At Goodwood I struggled to see the difference between the privacy glass in the nimbus and no privacy in the Magma and yellow!. I had to ask one of the Lotus people which car had what. He looked through the side window and if there was a good view of the other side then it was clear if difficult...

I saw it with four different colours at Goodwood and didn't have an issue, in some ways I felt it broke up the bonnet space quite nicely!

Just a slight note of caution on all the positive comments regarding the Nimbus car at Goodwood (I also agree that it looked fab on the stand). It was on the main stand with lots of lighting above and around, the Magma and yellow were in a small unlighted tent with a low roof so very low light...

Not sure why they are not replying to you, they looked me up on the system and told me the bad news in less than a minute!

For others going to Goodwood this weekend I was told the yellow car has the production seats, they were Alcantara, all other Emiras here have pre-production. Have to say I found them very good! I really liked the simplicity of the interior, I think it will be a great place to be!

I’ve just been told that my V6 manual is delayed from July to October delivery order placed last year on the Thursday of Goodwood Apparently emails will be going out to confirm these deliveries after Goodwood I’ve been passed the stand several times during the day and it has been rammed pretty...

I've never seen any of his videos before, but for me this review showed how good the car is going to be driving around UK country roads!. The precise steering, good feedback on the road surface, consistent power delivery through the rev range, what looked like a good gear change etc. Personally...

See you Thursday, the meeting time is one year to the minute of me placing my deposit!. (11.01)

Is there any feedback on what parts are causing the delay? If chips etc then I would have thought all cars affected the same as all are identical.

I put mine in Premium Bonds, made 75 quid so far!! :p

and I'll be one of them!!...... :)

I’ve had my Elise for 21 years, the only time I’ve used the radio is while working on it in the garage! :D

Had my call today from Alex in Lotus customer care, big shout out to him as he explained everything very clearly and answered every question i asked, there was no hurry to complete the call. Most points have been discussed above but my deposit on 8th July at 11am meant I am in the first 500 or...

My deposit was 11am on 8th July, not had my call yet. Based on my experience at Goodwood I suspect there were a lot more than 20 deposits between 11am and 4pm, wonder if I could sneek into July. Booked to go on holiday 2nd August with Emira, might be a bit tight!! :oops: Still Elise to fall back...

I'll be there on the Thursday so likewise be good to meet up!

Hmmm? I placed order on Thursday of Goodwood and all I have is an email from some time ago saying it will be built in July Perhaps I’ll give them a call

Forget wether you like shmee or not, I didn’t see a single car in his ‘garage’ that looked better than the Emira. For me 400hp is more than enough for road driving. Ok I currently have one of the first Elise S2 cars with 120hp rover engine, but after 21 years of ownership I still absolutely love...

I went with Seneca as it had the instant WOW factor at Goodwood and the wife said ‘we need one of those!!’ :) Also never had a blue car!

Thanks for the great pictures and comments it's all looking good! That car is as my spec apart from the fact that I'm not having the upper black pack. Really exited now!. Assuming no more delays, August is going to be FAB!!! :)

Seneca for me!
