    UK refunds following cancellation

    Well, the poster asked for a solution and stat demands are an effective one. Asking for your money back does not seem in the slightest extreme to me. And my comment on the civil service is from direct experience of it (as a lawyer). You may have a different experience.

    UK refunds following cancellation

    If you continue to have difficulty getting your reservation fees returned then a cheap and quick way to apply leverage is to send Lotus a statutory demand for the £4k. You can draft one yourself (just Google it) and it is not a court process so you are not at the mercy of our appalling civil...

    Is the Boot opening a design problem

    I'm not worried about it, I just think that designing in making the boot wet when it rains is a bizarre "feature". From what I have read on here the "that's just how Lotus do things" argument seems to be generally accepted. Not by me I'm afraid, but as I said it would not in itself make me...

    Is the Boot opening a design problem

    Not sure how many of you have seen it in real life but when I did my test drive in the pouring rain and we opened the boot water went into the actual boot space as well as onto the engine cover. It is a ridiculous design flaw and one Lotus knows about as it has put drain holes into the seal...

    Email... V6 Delayed to 2024!

    My date has been put back to Q3 2024, which means 30% inflation since RRP announced PLUS a probable depreciation in £/$, £/Yuan and wherever else the stuff they make the Emira comes from. So the chances that Geely eat such a huge change is zero, imho. It'll be £100k by then easy. Rybrook...

    The great big "all the customer test drives" thread

    Nimbus, touring, Bristol Rybrook, very wet References for acceleration - Honda CBR600RR and (a very long time ago) a passenger in an F40 around Silverstone References for sports cars - Triumph Spitfire ;) and a 986 Boxster S Lotus as a company baffles me. The test drive was about 1 mile in a...

    Video reviews by customers who are not forum members

    First video I've seen of quick driving on the road. NB start looks like the same one as above as must have been the drop off point for reviewers, but it's different. We could do with some of these Dutch roads in the UK 😄

    I used YouTube translate and he definitely said a roadster was coming in 2024. Best put a deposit down now 😄

    Thanks and yes will be going to Rybrook - luckily they have a nimbus with touring as the test car. I'm there a couple of days before you but you'll probably beat me to an actual car as I only put money down in September.
