Although I prefer my spec (minus the black wheels)…

Looking forward to aftermarket options. Was on a production Dark Verdant with tan leather. Beautiful car.

Looking forward to attending on Saturday.

Coming from Elises and an Exige, most of the functions in these handbooks represent a kind of unfathomable witchcraft to me! 252 pages? I think I prefer the Exige handbook. Essentially "get in, press button, go fast".

March or April (can't remember which) 2021 pre-launch deposit with B&C. Originally June delivery then September. Now October build. No Homelink. The mystery deepens...

£850ish on the street in London. If I swapped it out now I'd actually get an £8 refund over the Exige! Wasn't expecting that as it's worth £25k more. I suppose the Emira is a somewhat more "sensible" car. Then again, I suppose almost everything is a more sensible car...

For what it's worth, the Exige 350 will always start in Tour. However, you can switch into Sport before you hit the ignition button and it will then start in this mode (open exhaust valve and louder note). My neighbours love me.

Brought along some memorabilia related to his father’s work on Campbell’s land speed records.

My Exige is my only car and I use it all year round except when it's icy. No problems at all.

Correct.

I had Gtechniq ceramic treatment on my Exige, arranged by Bell & Colvill. 2 years or so on and I haven't polished it once, water still beads and drops right off and no swirls. Lives on the street in London. Has definitely worked well for me. I will be doing the same for the Emira.

My online order was the following day (7th July) although I ordered with Bell & Colvill on April 28th '21. How much difference that early dealer deposit will make now I don't know... Latest from CS is an August build (originally June).

Good point although the link includes my email address which could provide the required uniqueness. We need more numbers to be sure!

Interesting. By that logic I'm number 59. Or it could be 22:08:57secs... Does anyone have a number over 59?!

From the London Concours. Drew a crowd...

Top Gear Website Review Pretty lukewarm...

(let's go Mets)

For our American friends, Freddie is a legendary ex-cricketer here in the UK (it's like baseball only better)... ;)

Review in The Sun "EMIRA will be featured on Top Gear, 8pm, BBC1 on Sunday night. Freddie clearly liked it because a little birdie told me he ordered one on the spot".

Filson Bags For my Exige - Small version under the bodywork to the right in the boot, large version drops straight in after it, zipped tote behind the seats. Takes up every inch! Hoping I can buy a couple of the medium ones for behind the seats of the Emira - what luxury! Well it is a grand...

Lotus history. Nimbus Emira will be number 4...

Ewok? Good rugged 4x4 name. Compact. Low centre of gravity. Lightweight. All Lotus calling cards. Plucky underdogs vs the might of the evil Porsche Galactic Empire. Or is Ewok too close to Evoque? These are the types of conversations the Lotus Brand managers will be having (their offices still...

Basic Admiral Multicover policy for my Exige 350. Kept on the street in London. No cover conditions at all. Reasonable-ish premiums and actually fairly good service when I've had to claim. I don't track it though.

Hi All Just in case it's helpful... B&C dealer deposit for a V6 FE on the 28th of April. Lotus deposit on the 7th of July. Call today from Lotus confirming June delivery, taking B&C deposit into account. "One of the very first Emiras...". Followed up with the email below. Thank you for your...
