I hope you do, but I got my checkout email almost a week earlier and since then have heard nothing.... I could call this week, but they wont know anything I imagine.... I guess 19th of december, or 21st...... place your bets.....

I often ask myself, why dont they do a test going round in circles with all these supposedly amazing handling cars and see how they really rate against each other, same tyres..same conditions....

its not just for cars.... for anything you cant readily get your hands on, and desire.... watches, houses in the right school district, paintings, antiques, the list is endless........ Yes a GT3 cant be compared as it really is sold at a very low price in the UK compared to other markets, it is...

ok, let me elaborate as I think you reached and jumped with your conclusion... The car was on autotrader..... now its not... I am saying I believe(but I dont know) that the car did not sell on autotrader and it has now been removed as part of the conditions to go on the auction site. I said, I...

this is what I suspect, but this week will tell us more... I would prefer it had sold on autotrader or where ever it was, as would show strong desire for the car.

IF the yellow one is going next week on collecting cars, one of their conditions is the it is NOT advertised elsewhere, so would be wrong to assume its sold...... keep an eye on wednesday onwards and see if it appears there......

what would they then use the factory for? A lot of Lay offs... write down of 100 million plus a lot more on top... Its, as anything is, possible, but no, I cant see it... not unless they really have more and more issues with production cars that they cant solve easilly. The thing is, this car...

I think you just about hit the nail on the head... a bit bigger than a cayman, but not as open and roomy as a 911, that would be my opinion for what its worth. Not cramped, but not overly spacious....

So, 1. you would bite the hand that feeds you? thats just rude.. haha Cant compare one market country to an entire continent and while NA has more potential than the UK, that potential may not be realized, where as the UK is the cash cow that keeps on giving... Not sure they would cut off the...

Wow.... this is very strange and once again, I dont think Lotus are telling the whole truth, but then again, I guess it is/was always unlikely they would do so. There are so many possibilities here... some already mentioned. 1. Maybe they are still struggling with parts &/or with labour, both...

I think you will get december too, but not next week........ cant see that Im afraid... but hope you do!

I dont know..... :). I will need to sell the UK car to be able to afford to buy the spanish car..... so unless I decide to keep the UK car and use the Uk car in Spain as its cheaper than the spanish car and in that case, dont buy the spanish car, as it will be harder to sell in the end anyway...

ok so well if you got the email today, checkout... selecting options etc... this IN THEORY means you still have a few weeks before they give you delivery dates I am afraid, unless you are a big exception, which could happen. I got my checkout email on Monday and nothing since and someone said...

ohhhh I thought you had it ages ago as you were told your car was being built 2 weeks ago no>? nothing more for me yet after my email..I expect some news next week, but who knows.... I guestimate delivery for 19 21st december....... its good to put a number on things.

funnily enough, now I think about it, only good cars do it..

Yes 911, 718s..... do it... when on full lock, although its potentially for other reasons.... Just ease off full lock a little and it will prevent it. It may not prevent you from hitting other cars while parking, BUT you cant have everything.... And if you hit a porsche or a BMW< then you've...

thats a good idea if we ... buy all the emiras that come up, we can then control the market!!! and keep residuals high....

dont forget trade only one went for 85 plus fees........ but your all in now, cant change your mind... losers pay the winners registration tax

well I think you have got the solution right there...... before your eyes....... no windowscreen.. no fogging, Lotus are good engineers, im telling you 👌

if you are under.. you are bust.. haha

97,500

first emira on collecting cars possibly going live in wednesday... lets see if Leonard or Gary are correct.....

no, the new owner would not have to pay 2000 as you have already paid it, you get back 500 and they would have to pay that....this is all proportional of course during 12 months...

So unless I am wrong, and I could be, you get back a bit over 500 of the 2000 odd you spend taxing it... :(

Refund for the first tax payment on the vehicle The amount you get back will be based on whichever is lower of: the first tax payment when you registered the vehicle the rate for the second tax payment onwards https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-tax-rate-tables

haha.... I'd sell my soul to import them..... Cant be doing with these pint drinking pot belly... I'll say no more. You say no one is paying overs for sports cars, apart from 250k for a 718 GT4 RS and 250k 911 touring and none touring... ohh but u mean anyone thats not buying a porsche I get...

So for info.. I have spoken to the well known auction site.... collecting expensively commissioned cars.com They have already been contacted by several Emira "owners", but dont have any actual cars lined up yet it would seem. They will be working with a reserve of about 81k ish... and expecting...

and ...... you're out.. haha

yes..it seems the intention is good, but the solution is not good... What they should do is try to control the price..... but not the method.... but thats not easy either... Ok well this makes my life a little harder.....

SOOOOO I have news, maybe its already been mentioned elsewhere? LOTUS DEALERS HAVE BEEN TOLD NOT TO GET INVOLVED IN RESALES for the moment! This explains why the yellow car at lotus central is NOT for sale by lotus central and is only stored there. This is to help residuals, although I am not...

id say 100k is a fair price for the moment... and by jan feb that will be down to 95 90...... lets see......

thats nice of them...although its good for them to have the car for promotion also. Im guessing IF they had a customer.... they would offer said car and get a commission, or maybe not..

This car has been for sale for over a week, nothing new here, its the central lotus car isnt it? Its on the other thread already....and has been mentioned several times. There are 2 if not 3 cars for sale in the UK...they are just in different states of ready-ness. One guy was not impressed and...

even the best of us forget somethings .... I cant see the problem, half an upper black pack...... When I go hiking, I also fill half an upper mounted back pack, with beer...

if i wanted a cryptic conversation, i'd get married....

haha.. I dont think he will look at the stereo, he only ever seems to listen to the radio.. 3 4 cant remember... but no, I dont think it will be as in depth as we want it... it will be more a feel good, last hurrah type.... Clearly a road trip maybe south france..or scotland to run it in.... we...

SOOOOO a series of videos.... now it makes even more sense why he got his car before us all.. haha good luck to him, I hope he writes it off.. i mean writes it down as a business expense.. No seriously, Ive no issue with him getting it< I am a big fan of his farming, cooking and how to spend it...

no Tony come on, I think you know Lotus wont lend you an Aston for the day hahah... Yes, this conversation we shouldn't really need to have, but its there..... Lotus have work to do.... and all this crap wont be sorted out for a few years I would say. Us early customers will be the ones to...

Firstly, good morning....... Secondly, they are polite yes, but they are inconsistent and almost none sensical in that they will still say "you are still on for October build" when it is perhaps November. Its as if some of them leave the common sense, logic, reality at the door..... I would...

haha... not hideous.... just a hilarious high driving position and awful 5 year old dated interior.... kind of like the Emira.. haha still no email?
