And a cut away one at the factory, 16th July 2025.

Same car at the Heveningham Concours, 28th June 2025.

Not as bad as this advert though.....

I've looked at that advert for ages. I wondered why only 64 miles until I saw the warranty info in the handbook stating that it doesn't start until the car has covered 65 miles. Except that at least one of the other trigger points must be active now.

Ah, in that case I can't compare it to my V6 as far as build date is concerned. It could also be built in 2024 : ) If you really want to know phone Lotus Customer Services and ask them. I did this for mine last year.

That's the model year, same as on my VIN, but my car was actually built early November 2023. Model and build years aren't necessarily the same. Is it a V6 or a Turbo? If a V6 what are the last 4 digits? Higher or lower than 0850?

I've had my "We hope you've enjoyed the first year with your Emira" email survey. The text has changed and by the looks of it so has the survey questions as the time to complete has gone up. I've had some not happy moments but also some outstandingly good moments. I think I was fair in my answers.

That's the question for bhavz. If bhavz bought his car in the UK in April this year from a dealer I would hazard a guess that it is one of the "stock" cars that have been stored for a while. We know that there are quite a few of them from cancelled orders etc. I don't think there have been any...

We don't have these decals with the manufacture date on UK cars. Customer services told me my manufacturer date. There are also date codes on some parts that can give a very rough timeframe, for example my front cover/bonnet was made the month before my car.

Just checked mine. No wear after 7,000 miles. The buttons don't look like they would either, very glossy. I think they would get more scratched without the cover. For me these cases are not just for protecting the fob from scratches they are for keeping from breaking if you drop them, as they...

I use Autoglym Rapid Detailer spray and a soft cloth and a soft brush for the extra stubborn bits.

Ice grey here. No regrets after just over a year and 7,000 miles. I really like the light and dark contrast it creates in the cabin. I wear mainly blue jeans. I have just occasionally wiped them over with a damp cloth when I've noticed a build up of dirt. Maybe my wife is washing my jeans more...

Have you had the AC resistor pack rubber cover mod yet? If not then the resistor pack could have been affected by water. You would then need a new resistor pack and the mod as well.

None. I would go for exactly the same. I wouldn't even go for coloured seat belts. I would have the black/silver badges as standard though. And I would add that extended drivers pack.

It's the future! The electric Lotus Theory 1 concept car! https://media.lotuscars.com/en/news-articles/lotus-unveils-theory-1-the-future-of-intelligent-performance.html

At the Classic Team Lotus Garden Party June 14th 2025. My car in front of East Carleton Manor with a few other Lotus cars in the background.

New software released about 3 weeks ago so your car will likely not be up to date with the latest.

That was a very good deal (y)

It's worth noting that not all PPF is the same. Some people ceramic coat over their PPF which will add to the protection against bug splats. I have SunTek's Reaction self healing PPF. It itself has some ceramic coating qualities to help with cleaning. They recommend only to use a non-abrasive...

Interesting. I don't leave the Scorpion tracker fob with the garage so they wouldn't be able to change mine. There is a section on the service sheet under general maintenance that does say: "Renew alarm transmitter batteries (check with customer)" which is recommended annually. I'm presuming...

I don't think it's a dash out job, very easy to fit or replace if the unit has failed. Is that March 2025 or 2024? You only get one year's subscription and have to renew after that. For what it's worth mine has worked well for just over a year. One small glitch with the app after an update was...

I parked my car so that I could see it from our hotel room. 30 minutes later I heard another car and watched a white Ferrari park next to my car. The owner then had a look around the Emira before heading for the hotel. 😀

Looks like it.

I can only talk about the V6 but don't forget that engine is much closer to your ears and with less dampening between you as well.

I'm coming with a passenger (for breakfast numbers).

Here's a photo I took last weekend of that car being driven by Clive Chapman at the Classic Team Lotus Garden Party. It sounded fantastic close up and he did let it rip!

Well, it did for me instantly and continuously in the UK without any software updates. Easy to try and if it works for someone else until an official fix via software update then why not.

What fuel have you been using? After I had this with Shell I switched to BP Ultimate and have no problems since.

I am KITT, originally designed with Series 2000 circuitry. There's nothing worse than a smart-ass automobile.

Last night we saw a car in the distance join the dual carriageway (A140/A14) and I thought that looks interesting I wonder what it is? First time I've come across another Emira from behind, they are normally going the other way. Enthusiastic waves as we went by. :) We both turned off the A14 and...

Wow, did it do it just on its own or did something hit it?
