Red looks good and similar to current red metallic lotus cars like this one

Ps I suspect the AMG will only ever be DCT do Merc offer manual ?

A fair question it could be an official “400” but like some other manufacturers it’s putting out more than advertised. The 992 carrera 2 as an example outperforms its official stats. Will ask the question

Nice combo and same as the Evora I drove today. Shame they’re not doing the heritage BRG

Ps any other questions please let me know

I’ll do my best @TomE 😀 and report back on anything useful

Had my run in this lovely 2019 Evora and have to say the IPS box is very smooth, responsive and couldn’t tell the difference between my Audi RS5 DSG. Thanks to Bell and Colville for letting me take it out for a spin. For those who are concerned about the IPS I’d say having driven Mercedes and...

Thanks for sharing and I’m on the 1-3pm slot tomorrow.

Thanks for the tip. Going to be wet tomorrow so should be fun !

Will tell you tomorrow heading to B&C tomorrow morning. Will report back and hopefully it’s the nuts

Hot off the press from lotus on configuration changes. Good thing as I want to change seats, callipers and possibly transmission after my IPS demo tomorrow at B&C.

Likewise. Tried a number over the years. First being a Scirocco GT, Seat Ibiza GTI, Corrado VR6, impressed you still own yours! Mk6 Golf GTI and a few less interesting ones.

Cracking combo. If I was brave enough I’d go for this but mrs B would be less than impressed!

Thanks both for this. Now I’ve seen the alcantara seat pictures they do look good.

I’ve just paid my stage 2 deposit and gone tan leather and leather wheel. What are the pros and cons of alcantara seats as I’ve not considered before. Also opted for manual until such time I’ve given an IPS a good test which is this friday 💥

That’s my final exterior and interior choice with black wheels

Will do !

Can’t see this being a deal breaker unless you’re going to compete in an Emira UK championship !

Ps I’ve been dealing with Antonia Bowyer who’s been excellent

Let me know if you do and beat me to it as it’s my preferred transmission with modern day driving/congestion but the purist in me says it should be a manual box. I should be testing the Evoras on the 29th October

Yes sure I’ll take pictures if there are any or any other useful ones and post

Absolutely will park it round the corner. 😂

Thanks Tom and very kind. B&C have 2 Evoras in so I’m going to have a look at the manual and IPS to let me make a final decision on transmission. As long as I don’t get too much abuse if I turn up in an RS5 I’d love to come along! I’m in bromley so not too far away.

Hope so just changed Brentford for Hethel on 30/10.

Booked in for a Brentford visit having missed B&C when the petrol panic buyers drained all my local stations !

Well said ! Hope to join one of the Lotus weekend meets he and others go to once my Emira has arrived 👍

Can the forum hosts perhaps remove said individual so we don’t have to read anymore nonsense??

Thanks funds ready to go 💥

Thanks and makes sense. I left Facebook years ago, it was on this forum I read some mixed comments. Having played with the Porsche configurator last night the 911 just doesn’t have the wow/something special factor.

Had my call today from lotus. I placed the initial deposit on 14/7. Very efficient and helpful and explained the next steps and the £3k. I’m now starting to wobbling having read some posts. Paying £80k for a new car on a new production line with unconfirmed quality control etc is starting to...

Spoke to lotus today I put my deposit down 14/7 and have a first edition v6 slot. They said next 2 weeks. They answered within less than a minute and I’m fine waiting for the call. All good things come to those who wait..

Likewise IPS V6 sounds a good option and reviews are positive

Thanks Tom. I’m relaxed and was initially told by B&C it would be early 2023 which suited me and my broke to Mrs B! If it was Q4 2022 that should be ok but any earlier might be pushing my luck. Will crack on and see how things stand in November. My immediate concern is having fuel for next...

If you are a late FE V6 deposit placer when do you think the last of the FE will be delivered ?

This just pips the BRG silver wheel option I was looking at. Won’t do black pack but black wheels awesome

I know exactly what you mean. Everyday driving and manuals don’t work and I’ve had DCT in various guises for the last decade. Fine if you want a weekend / track car and my civic type r ep3 manual was amazing but not for long journeys or where there’s stop start driving. I’ve read enough to...
