    Spotted: Emiras seen in the wild

    I'd have headed into town tomorrow to say hi but I'm actually heading to the Jim Clark Museum in Duns, true Lotus legend. Worth a visit if you have the time!

    Thank you - and thank you! I am still dazzled by the Emira's beauty every time I see one. Drives kinda well too..

    Spotted: Emiras seen in the wild

    That could have been me! Was heading up the Mound and across the Royal Mile about 14:20 Reg EM13 RAV. I had it in track mode, makes the tourists smile... Here's my painting of my Emira...

    Has anyone adjusted their shift cable slack yet?

    Hi Mark, disappointingly it slipped their mind when the car was in - a bit annoying to say the least!

    Emira insurance - best and worst UK insurers/quotes

    Hi, do you mind sharing who that was with - sounds pretty decent all round. I've been woth Admiral as part of Multicar policy for first year of Emira ownership but premiums hiked this year (for all on policy, not just Emira...)

    Has anyone adjusted their shift cable slack yet?

    I've asked the dealer to check and adjust - car in for first service ATM, I had noticed some fore and aft play had crept in exactly as you describe, will report back after.

    Engine speed related squeaking/dry bearing noise?

    Sadly not yet! My Emira is currently in for its first service and of course the noise has not manifested itself while it's been in. It is only evident on first start up of the day, once the car is up to temp (10-15 mins running) it disappears, usually for the rest of the day, unless the car gets...

    Absolute Lotus Magazine features Emira Art

    Hey Nicolas, you are too kind! I am still trying to get a limited run print deal sorted but two of the originals (Hethel Yellow and Seneca) have now been sold to a very prestigious buyer. There has definitely been a shift in focus and posting content since deliveries started as you correctly...

    Absolute Lotus Magazine features Emira Art

    Absolute Lotus magazine has run a nice feature on my Lotus Emira art in this month's edition of their fabulous publication. The editor, Adam Wilkins, and I had a great chat at The Motoring Literary & Art Festival at Silverstone in December, which turned into a full-blown interview. The silver...

    Emira art, take 3. Let's start by misquoting the late, great David Bowie...

    Thank you, nice of you to say so - and glad you are a fellow DV fan! I'll add you to the list for when I get print license deal sorted out. In the meantime, here is the DV original alongside two of my other works at the RAC's Art of Motoring exhibition, being studied by Mr Rowan Atkinson.

    Emira Christmas

    Nice, I picked up a couple of those when at Hethel collecting my Emira. Anyone who is less than 5'9", like me and my better half can get two of those on the shelf behind the seats, two will also fit in the boot/trunk.

    Emira Christmas

    Here are some photos of Emira themed Christmas gifts from my thoughtful family. 1:18 scale resin cast Emira model by Top Speed- quality is excellent, made all the better by not having opening doors so the shutlines are nice and tight. Smallest one is an Emira keyring, feels incredibly heavy...

    Terrible Key Fob Badge

    Glad someone found you a solution, that looks pretty beat up! I liked the shiny black and chrome finish as well as the badge but figured if it went in the key basket with others it would pick up a ton of small dings and scratches. Thought the same would happen in my pockets too if there was...

    📓 Journals My DV Emira and modifications

    Thanks for the insights into your process and thinking. I used to work in self-adhesive vinyl in my signwriting days, the radiused end is a smart move as a sharp point will be easily snagged by cleaning cloths. The colour shift thing is real - when working on my paintings the background colour...

    📓 Journals My DV Emira and modifications

    Lovely work Jon! I'd be interested to see how the black centre-line looks in well-lit photos - hard to tell with DV...nice idea and I get where you are coming from. No shame in appropriating the Evija design for the pinstripes - it's beautiful! The variation in pinstripe width is an important...

    Dark Verdant with red calipers and stitching for sale

    I went for yellow but the red works too, mainly because the green is so dark. I wouldn't fancy the red with a lighter green

    Driving Emira in poor conditions - top marks so far!

    Honestly, it's awesome. A combination of its inate planted-ness and stuff doing what it should. My Emira was collected 04-04-23 and is on a trickle charge every night. I drive it damn hard too.

    Driving Emira in poor conditions - top marks so far!

    I've driven in zero degrees with frost and in torrential rain - car never feels less than surefooted. As you would expect, all the contact patches are optimised and working as they should, touring chassis and Goodyears no doubt helping too. Everything works that needs to work in these...
