I was expecting the email last week, if it doesn’t arrive this week then that would be a little bit strange

@TomE A Sunday Drive would be nice, presuming I’ve actually got the car by then

I saw a car driving a couple of miles away from the factory last week, covered in camouflage looked incredibly similar to a Tesla

@Joel fingers crossed your source is correct. Tempted to get one if it’s a bit louder, lighter and gives a small power boost

It’s to discourage people from driving and owning too many cars, Every time I go there resembles a parking lot at the southern tip of Malaysia. Plenty of people with enough money to pay for it. And on top of that, when the car hits 10 years old, you’re not allowed it on the road anymore

Probably correct, then on top of that about another 100,000 GBP for the certificate of entitlement to drive there

@Evotion please give us a bit of information on this exhaust mod you mentioned Ade

I don’t know anything for sure But it would surprise me if a final production car given to those earlier reviewers didn’t get a more positive response. Even Harry mentioned that the final production car he received seemed to feel better than the earlier review car

It’s possible that some things were changed after the first couple of less than stellar reviews

This is Geeley coming after us for all of that complaining

Thanks, yes looks like this covers some of the more prone areas

How much PPF is provided already ? Where on the car is it placed ?

@Evotion what exhaust mod are you doing Ade ?

@action_turtle I’m not saying that the roadworks are definitely a contributing factor to delays, But I did hear a rumour that the timing of the road works were not ideal

All factory collection is done in house now It makes sense, not to waste time sending cars out only for them to be sent back to Hethel. Also due to roadworks on the main road into the Norwich area, I believe the factory have been transporting each car out one by one in an enclosed unit...

Yes, I’ve been told that the car will be available for collection or delivery in April I’ve recently learnt that Hethel collection cars no longer leave Hethel for PDI, so this should shorten the timeframe from when the car is built and the time it’s in your possession And should have a...

I was told by CS that my car should go into build this week, so check out email should be pinged out this week 🤞

@GAVLA don’t go for the standard ceramic coating option, if you select factory pick up, you’ll be offered alternative options which Scott will arrange. Some Xpel PPF and Gtechnic ceramic options which are done at the factory by a local guy

@Bilbao-Emira does your dealer have the specification regarding the exact engine power output?

@JohnHoward given that we know Javier’s car arrived in Bilbao, I checked the Spanish lotus site, it’s still showing single HP and Torque numbers Whereas previously there were two sets of numbers displayed on the UK site for each gearbox type.

@Toomanyloti. We know there were a load of Auto cars produced in February, hopefully a few of them were produced right hand drive spec for UK test drives. When I do get the checkout email, I will be contacting certain individuals to see if a test drive can be arranged I do have a gut feeling...

also one would expect an opportunity to test drive an automatic car before making a final commitment

I was out of the UK for 10 days, so called them on Friday for an update, in case I missed a call. . I was advised my car was still on for April delivery. I asked when would the check out email be sent and was told it is triggered when the car is 80% through production, which seemed odd. Are...

Enjoy, I am sure it’s special

The stress of becoming an Automatic celebrity overnight

Yep likely the first Auto customer. Enjoy

Won’t have that trouble with my Auto, it will fit a can of special brew just fine

My car is supposed to be built this month, I haven’t had the check out yet. Just saw a post on Facebook today, Someone received a check out and then less than two weeks later told the car is ready to be delivered

@firstedition presumably you are collecting a manual ?

I’ll be keen to know if Lotus or Bosch have made any improvements to the Auto box over the outgoing Evora when I had the opportunity to ask the question to Lotus senior management, I totally forgot

i am not even hopeful of April, still no checkout email

Ade,, if you’re going to sell the Ferrari, Ping me a message

When I finally get my V6 Auto in April, once run in I will do a few runs with the RaceBox GPS timing gadget, I have a perfect quiet sliproad near where I live, that leads straight onto a dual carriageway, so plenty of opportunity

I was advised that the total number of deposits placed is closer to 10,000

@Gizmo750 no, I’ve not heard anything since

@TomE oh good, got me rare one I hope

that’s very surprising and I hope that is wrong, it contradicts what I was told

I was told March and CS confirmed March to me last week. Who said June

@Nova are you sure this is directed at Ade’s car, it was donski’s car that had the dodgy looking disk
