May as well move this one as well 😘 (thank you) 😘 I think the Ftype is pretty bomb proof for a JLR product. Harry says on his review that it's built and benefitd from the same in house quality checks as the 4x4s but is a 'lightweight' 2 seater so comes out well. Also says in 3 years he's...

If the Ashbourne owner is on here please message as would love to take a look 🙂

I was only comparing nearly new to new 😉 60k for a 2022 V8 450

100% Goes back to the Emira being greater than the sum of its parts 🏆

The new BMW M2 weighs 1730kg... cars are getting heavier, way of the world unfortunately. Manufacturers really should do more here to reverse the weight gain. @TomAce beat me 🙂 I had considered an F Type previously but ruled it out due to no decent manual box. If you are after an auto though it...

Oooooof 😍🤩

I do agree with this. Just a shame that you need to spend 5-15k to achieve it. Depending on your expectations

Easily solved for a few thousand bucks

Just that lack of comms again isnt it. Folk could be relying on that 30 day window to sell their current car etc and then end up with no car for X amount of time. Admittedly a small number running as their only car but still

To be fair (no offence Tom) at least they seem to be towing one line now. I'd be slightly aggrieved if Lotus changed their mind yet again and let folk push their deposit back to other models after saying categorically they wouldn't.

Yup that's what they are doing. But they don't have facility to/or have purposely chosen not to then reinstate you in a new position for the model of your choosing. To be fair you can imagine that this could cause some chaos with production scheduling and parts ordering depending on the number...

Yes and no They have obviously taken the stance that it's too much admin internally to make changes to the order book based on model ordered, even at the expense of possibly losing those orders. Something that should again have been specced in at the beginning of their new order process to...

I'm thinking he made nothing and did it for views. I spoke with Tom junior not so long ago and he categorically said he wasn't interested in the Emira. But who knows 🤷

Or they put all the test drives online and I book them all up just because I fancy seeing what the Auto is like 😉😇😅

There are plenty of avenues you can follow up in regards to contacts. But ultimately I don't think they really care at this point in time and you will just be yet another distraction to the job in hand (unless you require a specific urgent issue dealing with). They obviously don't want to...

You will love it I'm sure

Probably be an Emira tuned version of these: https://www.litchfieldmotors.com/shop/bmw/m3/coupe-e46-2000-2006/3-2/suspension-handling-3-2/nitron-ntr-r3-suspension-kit-3/

Anymore news on these 👀

It's begun! Very exciting. Look forward to seeing the 3rd party tuning progress

Really sad to hear Bit like me cancelling and receiving my checkout email 3 hours later. Could be coincidence, but... CS needs to be based at Hethel with more synergy between all the teams. I cant see it getting any better if not. Not quickly anyway. Hopefully when you get the car all will be...

Check out Harry's review. Seems to be the benchmark reviewer on here 😉

For folk with a long history of sports cars, it's probably just not raw enough. A gorgeous GT if you have other cars that offer a more seat of your pants experience, or are new to sports cars. Or he could just have flipped it for more money at your expense 🙃🤣

Arse I hadn't thought about that 😶‍🌫️ Think there may be a few to go around mind

"Essentially the only way someone can take your vehicle with the system is to actually tow it away and they still wouldn’t be able to drive the vehicle." Not to go scare mongering. But are you not worried they will just drag you out of bed at knife point instead to get the code? I can see the...

Lotus probably attracted buyers that hadn't even thought about a Sports Car like this before and then handing Porsche NEW customers. That would be ironic 😪

I haven't ruled out a second hand GT410. Happily take it to and deal with Central at Nottingham Also interesting http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202212032245314?atmobcid=soc3

This with a stage 1 remap to an SVR busting 598bhp 780NM of torque would be a crazy car for the money http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202212222716689?atmobcid=soc3

I'm always looking 😅 but to be honest after the last two years of investment in the Emira I'm just going to have a break until Spring then decide. I have a new EV arriving next month so that will be an interesting learning curve and keep me occupied for a few weeks... ☺️

I still hate you 😛😅

It is a shame, but it is what it is. Just strange decision making by Lotus yet again. Why give Birmingham, Nottingham and Bradford dealers all Sports... 🤪 Glad it worked out well for you in the end, car looks stunning 😀🤩

I hadn't appreciated how cheap you can find a nice face-lift V8 Ftype for. Think I still want a manual car, but going to take a Ftype 450 for a drive just to make sure. Hey @Tonyshepp 👋 😅

You say that but part of the reason for me cancelling was because I ordered touring. I could only drive Sport on the test drive (3 closest demos all sport....and all blue....) and Sport felt spot on. So i couldn't test touring, I couldn't change my spec and I didnt fancy taking a punt on an 80k...

Do you get the F-Type V8?

Stunning all rounder. Be nice to live with something at the pinnacle of perfection if even for a short while. And I don't really 'do' Ferraris but the 296 is great 🤩

You have ordered a 296 GTB haven't you..... 👀

Have you paid more money. Either the full amount or Finance deposit? Pretty poor show if so.

Cant argue with that! It's a tiny tiny piece of the overall package. Think it's purely the fact you have to have it in the FE (at an associated cost), so it's a shame it doesnt feel like a really positive upgrade. Sure someone will isolate what the 'issue' is at some point and it will be...

That looks lovely 😍 and sunny 🌞 😏😅

The Emira with an AMG V8 or joint Cosworth engine with chassis dialed up to 10 could have been a contender for 90/95k certainly a 992 rival
