With this email I’m 99% certain that the September 9 has become the October 409

In order to avoid any further delays does anyone have any thoughts on where to get your vehicle delivered? 1) Hethel 2) Dealer of choice (B&C) 3) Home delivery (East Sussex) I’m pretty happy getting it any which way. I’m not overly keen on the fanfare but I also don’t wan’t to be a grinch and...

It was supposed to be Sep build, Oct delivery… but no news my end.

Bell & Colvill have scheduled their opening day for their new showroom for Saturday October 1st. It’s an invitation only event, presumable for deposit holders who have specified them as their service centre as well as for their existing customers. I’ve been told on good authority that they...

Yes on Confused

I think the sequence is that you receive the "New Vehicle Protection" email. With that email its just for info - you don't need to do anything and you don't need to reply to it, just read it... Then you have to wait for the next email - which is the "Checkout" one. I think the gap between the...

How come so cheap? Are you 70 and live in the Outer Hebrides? 😆

I'm 48, no points or convictions and 10 years NCD. Live in East Sussex. Mine came in at £680. Then I added my wife and It was £50 cheaper - and she has 3 points and a claim! So £630 in total with LV.

Not yet…. I even emailed the ever friendly Sharon @ Lotus to check it didn’t end up in my junk…. She said it hadn’t but that I should expect it soon!!!! (She didn’t actually say the last bit)

Nope

Does this sound like decent value? They are reputable but have only been doing PPF for a few years - before that the guy was a detailer for 8 years... PPF - Paint Protection Film Basic Kit - Front Bumper, mirrors, a pillars and headlights - £750 + Vat Standard Kit - Front Bumper, Bonnet...

I’m feeling rather privileged to be part of the September 9… felt like it was possible going to be the October 900! I’ve had GAP cover a few times with gapinsurance.co.uk although I’ve never had to claim so not sure how good they are… I had a quite today of just under £300 (FYI it wouldn’t...

Same email received here - Sep build as well.

Sep build confirmed for me (for now) manual, tracker and no homelink.

I emailed yesterday to ask and no I didn’t get to Goodwood. Here’s what the email said… “With your new delivery estimation, your car is estimated to finish production in August and be ready for delivery in September. We will confirm your revised delivery estimation in official communication...

My deposit was paid on launch day (at the end of the day). Initially was told to expect a June delivery date, then July and now September.

Yesterday I emailed customer service to ask where I’m at and was told to now expect a Sep delivery (August build). I placed my deposit on launch day. Seneca, Manual, no privacy glass, Alcantara, Tracker & Black wheels…

Sorry if I’m being slow but how does a that save a grand? Just don’t want to waste money if I don’t have to!

Went DV, then got cold feet and locked in Blue with full black pack and black alloys. Was going to collect it from Bell & Colvill but decided a factory trip was a good idea 👍

I was wondering if people know where they are in the new car queue? I’ve asked Lotus a couple of times and been fobbed off yet I’ve seen a few people saying they know what slot number they have. I’m down for a July car as I placed my deposit on launch day (a few days before Goodwood) but...

I’m totally with you on this list (with a few minor tweaks). It’s not about the cost it’s about the emotion, it’s about what floats your boat! My view is that I’m lucky enough to be able to afford an Emira with no finance (which his my preferred way) but if I’m not loving it I plan on selling...

Great idea

I was down for a June delivery but I’ve just received this from Lotus… As you’ll be aware from our previous communication, your new Emira specification is now fixed in our production system and scheduled to be completed in June 2022. Therefore, we are pleased to inform you that your new Emira...

I agree except on 1 point, I actually found the GT3 suspension really good. I would say similar harshness to an M3, firm but not crashy. Maybe I haven’t had enough similar cars to compare but I know it was so much more compliant than the RS6 I ran for a while.

Like many on this thread I agree it’s not about power. I deliberately DON’T want more power… let me elaborate… My last sports car was a 991.2 911 GT3, it was fantastic, it was a beast but it was too much for the road for me. I found all the thrills happened when I rung its neck and was going...

I booked for early May so hopefully get to see my actual car…

The booking tool is finally live… www.lotuscars.com/en-GB/factory-tours/

Had my call last week (I placed my deposit on launch day). I was going to get the car PPF’d and so I spoke to a friend who runs a PPF/ detailing company. He said Xpel don’t have a template yet and they asked him if they could go to his shop to use my car for the template! Sounds ok to me… I...

Same here.

I’m in, Blue, black pack, black wheels…

I sold a 991.2 GT3 - Crayon (chalk white) clubsport spec to get into the Emira! The GT3 was fantastic but having that much money tied up in a car that scared the sh!t out of me was too much. I’m hoping that the thrills from the Emira come at a lot slower speeds that the Porsche and at a much...
