Yes, sort of. I got an email, as they tried to call me (once) and I couldn't answer the call. I was given from the 8th March to the 10th to lock in my spec. Delivery for August, however I've asked for a few more clarifications before final spec. I've not had a response since and i suspect I'm...

Excellent spec. There are a few pictures around now with Magma and Ice combo. I’m toying between that and tan, due to the gold fleck in the paint being a more complimentary tone. Ice looks fresh and modern. Decisions decisions…

The reviewer really annoyed me when he said that the Touring suspension was the one to go for. How would he know without trying sports?? It's as if Lotus are feeding them what to say, as there was nothing new in the review. Just a hunch but I think Lotus want the majority to pick the Touring as...

Bit concerned with the mis matching colour from door to rear panel

Totally agree. I moaned to CS and they said I’d be able to see the colours in June!! FFS

Confirms to me that no-black-pack is the way to go. Magma looking hot! 🔥

Does look good. I think we all deserve a personal tour!

Seneca, Magma, Nimbus?

Magma and Nimbus first views for me. I'm very undecided now on my colour choice. I'm past my "lock in" day, but still not 100%. I'm prepared to suffer a delay to see the cars in person. Let's see what customer service say...

I don't understand who gets the £1000 if I've never involved a dealer and placed the deposit direct with Lotus and I opt for the factory pickup?

I’m tempted by Ice leather so would love to see some decent interior pictures and whether the dash strip causes reflections

This is my number one concern. Show car height meant not possible to wear a helmet. Doubtful 20mm will be enough for me, so unable to commit until I can sit in one. This will almost certainly put any delivery out to Sept or Oct for me from Aug.

I’m struggling to stay the course. Just doesn’t seem right or particularly relevant anymore to be buying a car in today’s world that’s going to be increasingly seen as a pariah. The seat and photo debarcle is another major irritation…

Deposit on 12th July. No 3rd call yet

The typo would just wnid me up!

I can see a mileage, not fuel based, system coming as they look to recoup all the lost taxes from the move to EVs.

Trac Mon in Anglesey. No wonder it's wet!

No chance of arriving in mine (July 12th deposit). Would still be up for a meet to compare specs if an S1 is invited?

👍🏻Nearly the exact spec as me. Only I went for silver callipers to prevent the eye being drawn to them.

Provided I can stay the course... I'm a blue in Shropshire. Oct/Nov maybe

I decided on no black pack when I spotted this beauty. Think the side stripes would also look good on an Emira (yellow/green). I'm going no black pack and silver wheels.

Yes, and the superior dynamics of the horizontal radiator and airflow in and over the car.

I started to notice a lot of blue BMWs on the road today. Look very like Seneca blue. I think they are Misano Blue. Thoughts?

I decided the red would have been fine for just doors and seats but couldn’t get on with the red dash. It’s a great combo with nimbus though. I’ve since switched to blue + yellow stitched alcantara…

I’m amazed that just wheel colour affects the build date. Implies a lack of silver painted wheels!

I assume you're referring to this ugly lump?

This is definitely the go-to forum 👍🏻

I'm really looking forward to fitting some Michelin Pilot Alpin 4 for some winter road trips to the Alps and Norway. Don't mind a slight delay in production to allow for some teething problems to be sorted on early cars.

I think people are getting mixed up with a Base Spec i4 and FE i4 price.

Good to hear that the seats are looking better. Was there any discussion on the mounting height? 20mm lower would still be too high for me wearing a helmet.

Was the height of the seats discussed and addressed?

I feel a swing back to nimbus on the cards. Great info and very jealous of your tour!

You seem to be following the same route as me, from silver/titanium Elise to Seneca Blue Emira. I also agree with alcantara seats. It will certainly stand out from the crowd!

My company installs network equipment and the lead times are getting worse, not better, due to severe chip shortages. Recently quoted 12 months for delivery of a unit that would normally be manufactured in 4-6 weeks. My suggestion that Lotus would be similarly affected was brushed off by the...
