Attending in the 'spectator's category. Assume that you can pay at the gate for entry, can't seem to find that info anywhere.

It may not even be a full set on that car, we only saw one side - could have had those strange orange/red wheels (2:48 on the video) on the other side!:ROFLMAO:

Oh no! Don't say that, I've got silver wheels in my spec along with the auto box. Next you be telling me that the unobtainium that they use to make privacy glass is on back order:ROFLMAO:

I am V6 auto with delivery originally in July, but changed in the last Lotus update to build in July delivery August. I was wondering if anyone has any info on the auto delay. I did read in another thread that one of the Lotus retailers drove an IPS on their briefing day, so they must have made...

... and red callipers. If it is an auto, it is my spec, it could be mine!

I feel the same as Tom, very disappointed with the whole buying journey. I did realise that the customer experience was going to be dreadful when I met one of the Lotus senior team at the launch last November at Manchester Airport. I decided then that I wanted the car and would have to put up...

I’ve just had confirmation that my car will be August delivery and I am wondering whether to defer delivery to September to get a 72 plate. The only consideration is really the potential impact (if any) on future value, I am not bothered about having the latest plate for snobbery/vanity. I am...

If all the cars go via Oxford, what are the dealers (retailers) actually doing other than giving you the keys?

It's a pity that Oxford is not an option for collection. I think that my delivery choice will be dictated by whichever is the quickest method of actually getting the car. Hope that the full tank of fuel doesn't come from the local supermarket in Oxford!

Advert just released on You Tube saying coming soon. No date given, but coming soon usually means about 2 weeks. Fingers crossed for an Emira review!

I just hope that my local service centre will have sufficient resources to be able to carry out any work required in a timely manner with more cars for them to deal with. My experience with my Evora 410 Sport was anything between six and eight weeks to get it seen for various warning lights...

I will be there hopefully with my Emira, but as I am July delivery who knows! If I am in the Emira, my spec is Nimbus Grey, red leather, red callipers, silver wheels, black pack and auto gearbox. If the Emira has not arrived, I will be in my 65 plate Ford Fiesta which I will park out of view of...

Sounds a very good price. I just did the same quote for interest and best price was £325. That was with full NCB, no accidents or convictions, social use only as I am retired, aged 58 and live in a low crime area. This was similar to the actual price I paid last year for my Evora 410 Sport...

I have said in other threads that I soon realised when I met a senior Lotus Executive at the Manchester Airport roadshow that the customer experience of buying this car was going to be truly dreadful. I decided that I wanted the car and that I had no choice but to accept this. I suppose it...

No, the OEM fitting doesn't fit, but it is a straightforward process to get the one needed. If you purchase through Amazon, you use the ask the seller a question feature to contact them. You send a photo of the bracket on the window and they send you the necessary adaptor. I recall that the...

Is anyone thinking of getting a dashcam for their Emira? I had an AUTO-VOX V5PRO OEM Mirror Dash cam on my Evora 410 Sport and was really pleased with it as the view through the carbon fibre louvres was very restricted and it didn’t have a reversing camera fitted. This mirror came with a...

I understand exactly how you feel. Before I retired, I was a Customer Service Manager and I share your disappointment in the overall Customer Service experience. I went to the Manchester Airport Emira reveal and asked one of the Lotus senior execs why they were cutting out the dealers and...

Lotus Edsel There are too many seats for me for it to be a proper Lotus!

My 410 Sport Evora had a lithium ion battery and I kept it on a battery tender last winter when the weather was cold and I wasn't using the car. You need a lithium ion specfic battery tender. I did ask at the service centre how much a new battery would be and they advised around £1,500 ! I think...

I think that Lotus have (by choice) broken the dealer relationship. I think that the dealer will simply become the service/repair garage which in my case always has very long waits for any work. I asked a Lotus Exec about why they have effectively sidelined the dealers and I was told (in a nice...
