I understand the enhance and protect email is no longer sent out as a prerequisite for checkout. I'm told we'll just receive a checkout email when our cars are ~75% through production, about 30 days before delivery.

Many times!

I'm manual, a deposit 3 months before you and no enhance and protect email. It's basically a crap shoot!

April depositor and likewise.

Perfect for the post-apocalyptic wasteland we will no doubt be living in by the time my Emira has been delivered.

Email from CC today. Tone has changed a bit from a more upbeat message a month or so ago… “ At present, based on the information we have available you are scheduled for October production with a November estimated delivery. Please be advised that no delays are confirmed currently, but this may...

I'm supposedly October (originally June) build. My latest email to Customer Care asking for an update has not had a reply. I'm getting close to cancelling as I need to go abroad for a few weeks/months and it's getting to the point where I simply won't be around to pick up the car. It would be a...

Yes but, WHAT DO THEY KNOW? Nothing. That’s what. 😁

Just to be awkward, I’m sports + GY. I’m resigned to taking the car without a test drive. How bad can it be?😉

That would explain it!

Correct. https://www.lotuscars.com/en-GB/emira/#configure When you're done, click on RESERVE YOUR EMIRA in the bottom right hand corner.

Hi All. I just ran my numbers through the configurator on the Lotus website and noticed in the summary that my cash deposit was shown as £4k. I've actually paid £5k (2 in July, 3 in November). I'm sure it will be OK when I come to checkout but worth keeping an eye on...

Cheers. No good for me then!

Do we know if it's sport or touring and GY or Michelin? Sadly I can't go on Saturday but might drop in the following week.

But not much.

Something of the Lancia Stratos about it...

Me too. I'm not sure sending a "valued Emira customer" a link to a video that has been on the Emira page of the Lotus website for ages is a good idea. They must know that most of us would have seen it quite some time ago. When I saw the email from Lotus I almost got excited... Almost.

Thanks Tom - much appreciated!

Hi All Has anyone used a car storage service in London/SE England they can recommend? I don't have a garage and may need to lay up my Emira for a month or two (assuming I get it in October/November as advised). Cheers

I can't go so maybe you can have my spot!

It was an auto in actual fact. Mine's similar except with the black wheels, manual, sport/Goodyear.

Don’t say I never give you anything!

Taken this weekend.

No invitation although I was going anyway. My point was that an invite from Lotus would have been a nice touch. Again though, they were very helpful on the stand. Spent a fair bit of time with me.

Having spent most of the day in the presence of a couple of Emiras, and fully respecting everyone’s opinions on the details, my overall impression is “damn but they’re pretty”. And completely at home amongst all of the exotic metal at the Concours. Us deposit holders are jolly lucky in my very...

This is not a problem.

Not everyone’s cup of Rosie Lee I’m sure, but it looks OK in the flesh.

Hi Tom. Specific to my order looked up on the laptop. Extremely helpful guy. Customer service tip - email me some free tickets and invite me to the stand for a drink. Fourth Lotus and very early Emira adopter. Doesn’t take much and I’m a sucker for that stuff!

The DV and tan at the Hampton Court Palace Concours is a beautiful car. Dark as sin, but beautiful. Might see if I can post some pictures.

Very helpful chap at the Lotus stand at the Hampton Court Palace Concours. For background, I ordered my Emira months ahead of the launch. He told me that I’m in the first October build batch and that it should take 3 weeks from build starting to delivery. May therefore be an October delivery...
