Can I ask where?

Pushing their luck at that price!

Well, if the shadow greys can attract more Porsche customers and anyone else to Lotus, then I'm fine with that! Just for the record mine is not for sale ;)

Or grey ones ;)

Understated in my opinion, along with the DV and NG. Limited numbers will make them harder to find on the second hand market. Good for shadow grey customers and residual values I'd say. Plenty of red, yellow and blue to choose from already!

Haha...shadow grey all the way for me ;)

Is cosmetic repair insurance really an alternative to PPF, I'm not sure? The cosmetic cover for £399 is a fraction of the cost of PPF but will it do the job! I'm also planning to get the ceramic paint protection but will this offer any added protection against damage caused by stone chips, bird...

Some of these products not all are transferrable in the event that the car is sold which is good. Service plan and ceramic paint protection can be transferred to another person, but cosmetic repairs and wheel insurance cover ends if the car is sold.

Do you know if the entire amount requires paying now, or do they ask for half now and the balance just before delivery?

Exciting!

Not yet. In the next couple of weeks hopefully.

Build March, delivery April

I received the same email earlier this week. The next email you will get from Lotus includes a range of Emira 'protect and enhance' products from insurance for alloys & tyres, to the upholstery and paintwork, a 3-year fixed price service package, extended warranty, GAP insurance and a range of...

I couldn't agree more

I respect your reasons, but I do believe it's worth the extra just about, and am convinced it will be a future classic car and highly collectable especially if they end up making fewer FE models.

I don't blame you. I would have done the same in your position. Switching from V6 to i4 must have put you down the list, despite assurances to the contrary. I feel for you and all those who feel royally let down.

No way!!! My order was placed on July 11th 2021 and my reservation is protected. I'm so sorry you've had this news.

Matt Windle's video message was dated 10th June 2022 so why aren't Lotus standing by their price promise for orders received before then ?????

Put my deposit down on 11-Jul-2021 and have my reservation protected thank goodness. Sounds like I had a close call !

Lotus Emira update for the UK just in, and it's official, as a result of significantly increasing costs, the Emira will later this year be subject to new pricing. The RRP will increase to GBP 81,995 incl VAT for the Emira V6 FE, and GBP 77,795 incl VAT for the Emira I4 FE. Moderator: Official...

Looks great I think. I have my own in shadow grey coming soon.

I wasn't aware. It still remains to be seen whether it actually happens. My local dealer has no idea when they're getting an auto in to demo to customers and they are a brand new main Lotus dealer for the whole of Sussex. If Lotus had just kept customers and dealers better informed then we...

Me neither, the auto is a good way off I reckon.

The first two for sure!!! There was no cost of living crisis 2 years ago when many of us placed our deposits. Much harder to justify now when the cost of everything has sky-rocketed. It's definitely not the car, all the reviews are extremely positive and it's great to drive trust me. I'm...

Can I ask where you're getting it done and how much? I live in the South East and want to get mine wrapped. Thanks

Matt Windle's video message was emailed to UK customers on 16-Jun-22 so if you put down a deposit before that date [as I did on 11-Jul-21] then we can expect the FE base price to remain unchanged

I can see your Emira spec has gone from Autotrader website... did you get a good offer over asking for it?

Perhaps there should be a teamshadow thread for shadow grey customers only as we appear to be in the minority :)

Fewer shadow greys ordered make it a rare colour I think. Good news for all shadow grey customers!

That's what I thought when I saw the results! The shadow grey does look smart in my opinion. Not really sure why it's not as popular, as it's a classy finish with a hint of blue though it.

That's what a pre-inspection if for, and that's what Lotus supposedly include in their OTRC!

For me it's shadow grey, which has a spec of blue in it. The nimbus grey is sharp too. To be honest all the colours are great and I wouldn't haven been disappointed it somebody had chosen for me (y)

Thanks. Well have a great time, and make sure you drag the day out for as long as you can and drink in all the hospitality you can :) When it comes to collecting mine I'll be pushing them to discount the OTRC for all the delays & poor customer care and communication throughout. You should try...

Sorry £199 on top of the £1,100? Are they serious! How much do they think a quick factory tour costs nowadays??!! By my reckoning, new number plates cost £20 each, a full tank of fuel maybe £80, and as for pre-delivery inspection and valet I would expect this anyway for a brand new car!

I'm a UK buyer still waiting for my Emira delivery. Just been bumped to March, it was supposed to be this month. Fingers crossed Lotus stick to it this time, it must be the 3rd or 4th time my scheduled production date has been moved at the last minute with no explanation or apology from LCC. So...
