    Wonder if any cancellations after Test drives ???

    agree, the R8 V10 is from £128,200, that's a different price point for sure, getting into Portofino money

    Lotus 3rd Phone Call

    If you ordered a Porsche last year you have a 12 month wait, this is from an established production line. As far as I can see the (UK) wait for an Emira is 11-14 months, new car, new production line. I can't see that having the dealer in the mix helps either. They won't get anymore information...

    New UK (Staffordshire) Owner - Hello everyone

    Chatting to one of the Lotus engineetrs he thought the main issue was transmission, i.e it can't take much more torque

    Will a single garage house the Emira?

    The UK house builders honest garage guide -------> Single garage: Never going to contain a car. Will contain junk for the garden plus bikes, stuff you can't be arsed to put in the loft. Double garage:: Enough room for one car but more likely to be full of crap that you know you should throw...

    Will a single garage house the Emira?

    Having lived in houses with single garages built as part of the house design from the 1970's to 2010 I'd say no chance until 2000's as cars were smaller before then. The worse offender was my first house I bought in the 1990's from new by David Wilson homes. I had a BMW 3 series E36 and...

    Lotus Advanced Performance - new division announced focusing on bespoke vehicles and customer experiences

    I'd only just picked up this topic and agree. It just goes over the same issues of communication and finance, which I try to avoid! So my vote is for better discipline or regulation as this forum will get as bad as Facebook!

    G'Day from Devon

    Ivybridge. Not been that impressed with Hendy Exeter to be honest. Hendy Poole were very good as was Rybrook Bristol. I've got a June delivery so you're welcome to take a look when it arrives (if you bring the GT430 :):))

    Olternative Finance Options

    Trackers are about as safe as you can get. Timing (luck) is all important or you just have to be in for the long haul. FTSE tracker is up about 6 % if you invested this time last year, however if you invested 6 months ago you'd be down 6% The NADAQ is even worse if you invested 3 months ago...

    When are journalists getting the Emira?

    It usually works under embargo. So although TG gets the car first it allows other companies to also do tests. At a certain date they will be allowed to published. The T,33 is a classic example of this. So you'll probably find a sudden bunch of reviews at the same time. Possibly in March

    Type of Leather

    Also gone with Ice Grey. I think it's a modern colour which will contrast well with the dark cabin. I'll put this on the seats as worked a treat on my old car with oyster seats https://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/gtechniq/l1-leather-guard-ab.aspx

    Nimbus grey wheel choice ???

    I never understood bronze as a wheel colour, for some reason it shouts boy racer to me! I've gone diamond cut but I will get them sprayed further down the line to a titanium colour. I had black gloss wheels on my silver F type and replaced them with diamond cut. It lifts the car when you do

    Lotus 3rd Phone Call

    Good to see they will put this right. It was a confusing start as the dealers (now agents)didn't know they weren't supposed to take deposits so plenty of people had this problem

    Nimbus peeps red or tan leather ????

    That (1/2 leather) plus the black pack is what made my choice to go with a light colour interior. I had oyster with my silver Ftype and it worked well. You just need to make sure you have cleaning gear in the glove box as you have very little time if you spill coffee (or a decent port) on the...

    Black pack decision

    I've done the same. On lighter colours I think it works better. This is after watching 2 videos side by side one with one without for hours!

    Blimey. That's a good deal on a debit card

    Payment options

    You would need to check with your bank if they allow payments of that size with person not present. I can't see why this is easier or better than chaps though?

    Is your colour choice based on something?

    Is that really true???

    Lotus 3rd Phone Call

    I test drove one a few weeks back. Thought it was a great car, but I've never been a fan of the design language. However I don't think you can go wrong buying one if that's not an issue.
