It was all done through the checkout process. It takes you through step by step and one it was all confirmed I got a call about an hour later to confirm it had all gone through.

That's just what I was told on the phone to Lotus Finance when confirming the finance application went through. They said before the next stage a registration is assigned (I'm not using a personalised plate) and a date for the car to be actually registered is set, then they get the final...

Checkout does not confirm delivery date, but does confirm the extras, payment method and delivery location. As far as I'm aware you might be able to change these things, but in the checkout page it says things like "If you want to make any changes please contact us" so it's not as straight...

I'm not sure if delaying any specific time is possible. I reckon if you get through to checkout stage and at that point ask to delay then you will likely go to the back of the queue for a new build. After checkout is done then the next stage is assigning registration to the car and that is to be...

Love reading these reviews, much more helpful than the professional magazine reviews! I think the car will still be good for me. The main concerns I've seen is power, cabin size and pedal spacing. I think the pedals are slightly better aligned in RHD from what I've heard which will be nice, the...

I got the delay email, no call received today but I did send an email to customer care asking for any updates. No reply as yet. Checkout was completed on the 17th so hopefully on for Nov delivery 🤞

It confirms the price, plus any added extras. As far as I can tell it was the same as on the configurator, and the finance APR is still showing as 6.9%.

Just received my checkout email, getting very excited now, hopefully not too much longer!

Congrats on the checkout email! I received my enhance/protect on the same day so fingers crossed I'm soon too!

Same here

I hopefully don't need much time, I've already decided on what extras, financing, delivery etc I need. I wouldn't be surprised if the car appears in Glasgow/at my door at some point unannounced, maybe even before the checkout is done at this rate!

I'm hoping it is just awaiting final touches as part of the PDI but I've resigned myself to November delivery really... If it is pushing much further I'm tempted to cancel this Emira as I won't be able to drive it at all until Spring (living on the edge of the Cairngorms with Cup 2s in Winter...

I sent a wee email just to check up on things this afternoon, they confirmed to me I'm still down as October delivery according to the information from the factory and there are no further delays. They also said they will check and confirm with HQ as they are reliant on the go ahead from them...

Nothing for me yet but very exciting to hear some more are coming out!

Sept build here, emailed customer care yesterday who told me that production of my car had started and to expect the checkout email "very very soon", but that they're also still forecasting 30 days from checkout to delivery, meaning it really is Oct build and Nov delivery...

Well I do remember them saying official photos will be released in October, they never specified the year!

This video and email is exactly the thing they should be sending out! A little extra content explaining some of the features of the car or showcasing a different thing each time, so it's great they're sending something out at last. Only this is the sort of thing they should have been sending out...

Something seems to have changed on comparison sites, I got a quote back in July in the £800s range, and today went back in with the same details and getting over £2000! The majority of the companies quoting back in July are no longer in my list on comparethemarket and most showing now I've never...

I have been having the same thoughts! I've heard that Hethel collection may mean a delay depending on how many handovers they have to do but for an early delivery it might be fine. Customer Care told me today there shouldn't be any difference in delivery times for dealer or home. I asked...

Brilliant write ups and loads of info. Thank you!

Wouldn't surprise me either! But I still hold onto the hope... I've been telling people "I hope to hear more next week" for months now, but I really feel like this week or next will be the one! Sometime  soon anyways...

I'm really looking forward to it, I just hope the weather doesn't turn too soon, I can imagine getting it and the rains on and salt on the road so straight into the garage until spring... I live about 30 mins from the Old Military Road which Evo rate as one of the best in the UK so perfect for...

Still not received checkout email, but I did send a wee message to customer care last week asking for an update. They stated my car is still definitely Sept build Oct delivery, it's all in place and everything going to plan and no further delays. "We are well on track to getting you on the...

They're probably frantically drawing up a non-disclosure agreement and need to know where to send it :ROFLMAO: It sounds like it was a fantastic day though, and I look forward to hearing more and seeing the photos!

If you're in the first base batch then yes. The screenshot you shared also says Q2 2023 for First Edition and they have all been configured and orders submitted already, so it would follow both estimated times mean deliveries.

Your screenshot says "Base Edition arriving Q3 2023" which means first base edition deliveries in your market are expected Q3 2023 as far as I'm aware. Base configurations will be due to submission several months prior to this, and so base configurator will be live prior to that as well.

I'm going black alcantara with yellow stitch in my Magma car to tie in with yellow callipers. Hoping it gives a real sporty look!

I spotted that in the video earlier and I'm really pleased with how it looks! With the change from the darker yellow to the brighter one I was a bit worried it would clash too much, but at least in the video it still looks good. Getting more excited again!

Have any others in The September 9 had the checkout email? I received my information email for enhance/protect 8 days ago now and no signs of the checkout email... I guess it will be coming "soon" :rolleyes:

I was under the impression the email about insurance products etc was for information, and a further email is to be sent for the "check out" process and that's where we tell them what products we are going for, if home/dealer/factory delivery and if we are financing etc. Is that not correct? I...

I got the email as well today, currently Sept build. The line "before we shortly invite you to complete the purchase of you new Lotus Emira" does give me a bit of hope things will be happening in the near future!

I'm hoping that for the final edition hardcore Emira V6 they need to use a roof duct, if they do that's an instant buy for me!

I'm trying to keep an eye out for T131 STC but not seen it come up for sale so far!

The EU market only gets the 2-port manifold which is the claimed 335bhp, the US and some other markets around the world from the 2021 model onwards gets the 6-port with a claimed 382bhp. Here is a link to the Supra MKV forum which has some dyno graphs of stock cars. The first one shows a 2020...

The one with the 6 port exhaust manifold might do, the one with the 2 port makes around 335bhp to the wheels and that is the quoted power figure in the literature. The 6 port Supra is quoted as 382 and makes roughly that to the wheels too as far as I know. Generally BMWs, to my understanding...

Got my email today as well, September production, no homelink or tracker so that might have something to do with some builds being pushed back another month? I like at the end of the email it says "we will be in touch again very soon to confirm delivery details". Seems now there is another...

Dark, and occasionally verdant!

A Dark Verdant car exists? And people have driven it?! This is fantastic news! Glad to hear the car is great to drive. Still excited for mine, hopefully not long now!

My vote for this would be a Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ. Pretty cheap to buy (here's a 15 plate with 25,000 miles for £16k) and going up in value by the looks of things. Low power and pretty slow but super fun to drive. Can use all the power all the time and great steering and overall feel. Plus with...

I have 3 Toyotas, GR Yaris is on the left side, GR Supra is on the right, and GT86 is on the right. I see absolutely no logic in why, other than perhaps the only one actually built by Toyota is the different one :ROFLMAO:
