100% agree

Auto V6 for me also and lovely aluminium paddles. As a daily driver I know manual would personally be a pain

No just a realist

No great surprise, the world has changed in the last 18 months and we don’t expect Lotus / Geely to honour prices when Porsche as an example have hiked prices for base 911 Carrera to £90k+. You’re either in or out and I’ve had some recent wobbles but Lotus have been great about letting me delay...

Production issues mainly plus finance free if I wait another 6 months

Yes I’m a June 23 build July delivery but have told them to push it back to Q1 24

Totally agree and the reason I delayed my car into Q1 24. I think it was unrealistic to expect that a new line and more complex car wouldn’t have a period of teething problems. Sorry to hear those who are having them aren’t getting them resolved quickly.

Nice I had the C63 2012 plate on a super cheap 2 year lease and loved it! The noise was incredible. Sorry missed the fact the seats were comfortable (maybe seating slightly higher than I’d like but hey who cares!). Best of all it’s made in 🇬🇧. What spec have you gone for ?

current car is an RS5 V8 but have had C63, 911 (997 carrera), TVR Griffith. For me it has the looks, 400 horses is more than enough for fast road use, lovely noise, smart interior and pricing seems reasonable vs the Evora. It’s a keeper for me and will never be sold ! My electric station car...

I am 100% in!! Test drive today at B&C and loved it ! A fantastic car and everything I hoped it would be.

Good for you. I’m a July 21 deposit, Nimbus black pack yellow callipers and changed interior. I was due July 23 but decided to wait to Q1 24 and be finance free and buy my wife’s PCP out.

When did you put down your initial deposit out of interest?

Ps it auto arms so you have no choice but they are incredibly popular in london and other higher risk theft areas

I sleep well at night fortunately 😎

Aston is awesome and has been on sale for a while. I’m close to Sevenoaks so think a test needed if I pull the plug . I’m a 14/7/21 deposit with an IPS box to bugger delays for my Emira

Thanks and looks great. The 1 year old 450 V8s look great value and Harry massively rates his Project 7 and 8. The 575 brake is the one I’d have to go for but recognise it’s more GT Vs the Emira which is fine for me

Agree the F type is a lot of car for the money. Haven’t seen or heard of a ‘75 final edition is that a Uk or Us car?

I’m going to get one of these.. https://ghostinstallations.co.uk/

Decided to move to 23/1 in view of the weather ! Testing a 450 bhp V8 F type next Monday to keep me happy

Test drive at B&C on Monday 12th December so will put my views on the thread. I’m sure it will confirm my 14/7/21 deposit down was the right one 😎.

Thanks Tom looking forward to driving it in 2 weeks

I’m 6 ft 2 and had plenty of room when I sat in one earlier in the year.

Nice used to have one and a gmt master 2 but sold too early as they’ve rocketed in value ! Guernsey a good spot at Mappin and Webb for “discounts” although this was 5+ years ago

Shaan, thanks for this and will take a look on your Instagram! I’m a 14/7/21 deposit and have a June 23 build but happy to wait it out. (Went with auto in the end) Having seen and sat in one at the HAC Concours in June it is a very special car. Cheers

Congratulations looks like an awesome experience !

Congratulations! Great to hear it’s the car that Lotus tell us they’ve built! The next 8 months can’t go fast enough for my delivery

Great just booked in for the hour session. I have ice grey interior but wobbling over red or tan! As an Auto buyer I’m sure I can make another change before the summer of 23!

PS my deposit 14/7/21

Had the same and then another email 15 minutes later changing delivery to June 23! #shambles

Congratulations a real beauty

I won’t hold my breath Tom but am relaxed I’m in this for the long run and as an auto will have a 6+ wait but it will be worth it

Wishful thinking I can’t see anyone not going ahead after a test drive based on all the positive reviews. If a buyer doesn’t like the “test” we all bump up the queue if they cancel

Looks awesome! I went with the ice grey interior too! Identical to mine except yellow callipers and black pack, ah and Auto which could make my delivery super super delayed ! June/July 23 would be perfect 🤩

We’re waiting with baited breath! @TomE

I’ve seen and sat in a LHD auto in June so they are around. I was auto then manual and then back to auto. Mr indecisive but pleased having seen the aluminium paddle shifts, awesome.

The nimbus grey car I sat in at the HAC confirms this also. Its a non issue in my view and certainly not a dealbreaker. Scott Walker chuckled when I said it was becoming a topic of growing concern

Hi all, happy Friday! Not sure if this has been posted already but a great review of our long awaited car! Hope the link works. https://apple.news/ARfanC_ClSCSpOjtppBf66Q Moderator note: this post and replies to it merged into this reviews thread from a standalone post
