    Magma Red Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    Difficult to get a straight answer, they did mention both a"basic" seat and something more exotic maybe? Really did not get a detailed/definative answer. The quality did look excellent, my feelings are that they will not let a crucial element of the experience be anything other than A1.

    Magma Red Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    Not too sure, think it was for the motoring mags etc. Gaps do look a little wide between arches and tyre, seats still not sorted 100%, should we be worried........ No way, this car puts others twice the price in the shade! When I spoke to Gavin, he said the car is till not finished and will be...

    Magma Red Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    Was there today for factory tour, absolutely fantastic, saw the Magma Red car, grey leather with the photographers surrounding it, beyond description! Have changed build to this from Seneca, although that still looked amazing!

    Will today reveal IE F4 pricing?

    Have a 3.0si BMW z4 262BHP (3rd car), feels plenty quick, and a great sensation of speed and that your are wringing out most of the performance of the engine without going warp speed, M2 comp never really gave that same sensation as far to refined, I think the Emira will be epic in either guise...

    Struggling to access it, any chance of someone copy and pasting, pretty please?

    Would you delay an August delivery to September?

    Could be some added value in having the 22 plate to show you were an early adopter and one of the first to own this very special car!!?

    Spotted Emira in Spain

    I must admit my patience is starting to wear thin, there is so much they could do to keep our interest, a regular newsletter, painted cars, finished seats....the silence is becoming unbearable!

    Any more phone calls?

    Starting to think "would it be better taking delivery after March next year" rather than Autumn going into Winter! Not a good thought really!!!
  16. Billyidoliser

    Any more phone calls?

    Yes, I can confirm that with a first deposit paid 26th July, I am yet to receive a "final call" for specification and delivery!:cry:

    New Config Live!

    Quite representative I think! Have now seen the car in the flesh twice now and think it's amazing and really shows off the cars beautiful lines and design features, my choice!

    Emira Custom Plates

    Any idea what that went for? After I bought FA57 LTS (FAST LOTUS!) I thought I'd take a look for FA57 BMW (for my M2C), that was over £9k :oops:! Considerably more than what I paid! Will be interesting to see what the market dictates for plates with there being so much interest in the Emira.

    latest Lotus correspondence for FE buyers in the UK

    Spoke with Customer services last week for change of spec advice, also asked about delivery dates, was suggested to me that August might be possible, didn't pay first deposit until 26th July! Maybe he was just being nice! 🤔😁

    Order placed? : post your —FINAL— spec here

    Eagle7, you are "the Man", thanks so much, all it needs is the plate I've bought "FA57 LTS" and it would be perfect 🥳! Thanks again, just need a time machine to forward me to August 2022!

    Alcantara or Leather

    Going for red leather and Seneca blue, with bold colours comes great responsibility! Just can't resist leather....... Still shouts Premium to me.

    New Article on the Emira

    Found this, that compares the seating position within the Evora with the GT4 (may or not be of any relevance??!!): About 6 mins 20 secs in, I guess the lines/design of the bonnet can have a big influence on the perception of how low you are in fact sitting? As an aside, Endeavour at...

    New Schmee Video

    Absolutely, JayEmm for one, I do believe he may have caused a small amount of upset with some of his Emira comments at launch, but has vast knowledge of the Evora and has my vote! This whole Smee thing is just childish and extremely annoying....... coupled with the fact he has cars I cant...

    Emira residual values

    Better get a decent air freshener for the car when it arrives 😜😁👍!

    Emira residual values

    Surely the Evora 400 has to give some sort of indication on future values, similar price when new as the Emira V6FE, still going for £50-£55k with 25k miles at 6 years old! Agree with the statements that in the short term 6-12 months- might make money, 3 years lose £20k, then never worth less...

    Twelve Go Wild On An Island

    Hi Tom Sounds great, have paid second deposit and will be taking delivery of a Seneca Blue V6 manual, but first deposit not paid until 26th July, so don't believe I'll have my car in time, unless you might know different?
  38. Billyidoliser

    It's nearly deadline day...

    I'm in, second deposit paid and configured........already decided to change the spec😜!

    Anyone attending the event at Endeavour at Colchester this week

    Hi Jumbo Yes great to meet you and spend some time with similarly enthused people. I think I've (we've) decided on Seneca blue, no black pack, yellow calipers, alcantara with yellow stitch and V6 manual. Off to Hethel Saturday so could all change, LOL!!
