Really, you don’t think the majority of buyers will be enthusiasts?!

Having seen in the factory a couple of weeks ago, I would say this is pretty close to DV - almost black without direct light/sunlight, but a rich, deep green when lit

Yes, saw in the factory a couple of weeks ago; can confirm that they are much closer to Bordeaux red than Sparco red. I was put off speccing for the same reason as you, and by the time I saw how nice they were I was already locked in.

I’m new to Lotus too - live nr Stamford, so closest dealers are Central & Silverstone. Emailed both after placing initial deposit; Aimee at Silverstone replied immediately, whereas I didn’t hear anything from Central.

Obviously Churchill think I will only be using the car to get to the bowls club or my prostate exams 😳

OMG have just done the same and Churchill have quoted me £219 - makes me feel very old 😂

If it helps, the ‘How Many Left’ website lists 702 UK Evoras

The reg I have means I can have standard size font on a 3/4 plate and it will fit - I am hoping that will be ok, but appreciate strictly speaking 3/4 plates are not legal

Loving the photos, thanks for sharing 👍 When looking at the front on shot, two observations; those mirrors look awesome, properly supercar 😍. However, the standard UK no. plate sticks out like a sore thumb. Thinking of getting a 3/4 plate - anybody have experience with them, ie are the old bill...

Hope this isn’t bad news for V6 deposit holders ….

If it helps saw the tan in a DV car at the factory on Monday, and it most definitely isn’t orange - much more of a brown tan. Looked good with DV, that’s what I’ve locked in 👍

Really liked it - so many shades of red leather you never quite know what you’re going to get. It was lighter than oxblood, so felt modern, but not too bright, looked classy. Not sure I would spec with Magma or Hethel, but think it will work well with the other colours

If you’re worried about clashing colours, there was a LHD Magma car at the factory on Monday, with red leather - brave choice, but even that looked good to me

Still plenty of defects in evidence on Monday - saw yellow car up close which had just been through water testing bay and where rear of passenger door met the body there was a horrible gap at the top. Not at all suggesting they would be allowed out of the factory like this - Nick explained that...

Nick our guide told us on Monday that 70% of cars currently being produced are LHD

Having seen DV cars in the factory on Monday, I was surprised how green the car looks in the photos that surfaced yesterday. Of course, I didn’t see in sunlight, but the factory is well lit, and it was only on the uppermost surfaces where you could tell if a car was DV or Shadow (or from the...

I had a good look at the number plate mounts yesterday - there is a black block fixed to the top surface of the front lip. Then there is a thin black metal bracket (probably 200mm x 50mm?) affixed to the front of this block. If this was a UK car, and number plates are to be stuck directly to...

Saw this spec at factory yesterday- looked awesome 👍

There was an Emira in the factory yesterday in this Ferrariesque red colour, but on orange wheels! Very different to the Magma cars we saw

I wasn’t a fan tbh, would be third choice for me. I’ve ordered DC (with Dark Verdant). Personally think the DC work with all if the colours, but may have been tempted to black wheels with the 4 lighter colours.

Sorry, misinterpreted your comment 😂

No, don’t think so, stance was higher and it had different seats

Certainly better than the gap on the Turbo Esprit parked next to it ….

Same car from distance - didn’t honestly think wheel gap looked too bad on this one

It is bizarre, but they look real good in the flesh, honestly!

This is photo I took today in well lit reception area at the factory in case it helps

Depends on the light - I think the accents are matt dark gray, but they have a texture to them, quite unusual, and in some lights/from distance they look almost black

Yes, I think the DC will work with all of the colours- genuinely impressed with how good they looked, and the black accents will work well with Nimbus

Saw several different sets of silver wheels on cars, including those from the configurator - my comment re not liking them was just in relation to the Nimbus car with them on - the 2 different shades of silver just clashed in my eyes. Think they will be fine with other colours

Saw all the colours at the factory today, and for what it’s worth these are my personal views: DV - is dark, but you can still see it’s green on at least some of the surfaces, even in low light. Looks sophisticated, especially with tan leather (which is not at all orange), although appreciate...

Can definitely confirm no customer cars being built this morning. Not a hive of activity yet; lots of parts, lots of people, plenty of training happening, but not many cars actually being bolted together. Had the feel of a place waiting for the starting gun to be fired. The production line...

Just back from factory tour, and can confirm that cars in the factory were sitting higher than I had hoped - when I asked Nick our guide about this he said that these cars do not have the correct springs installed yet - not sure if this is due to more supply issues or for another reason. Can...

Can’t help but be reminded of the F1 when I look at this shot 😊

I can’t answer this question, but I can confirm that the opposite is sometimes true 😳
