Happens intermittently with mine.

Great as a daily driver. But then I used to daily my Exige.

Thanks all. That's very helpful indeed. Much appreciated.

Hi All A few thousand miles into my V6 Nimbus and loving it - except for one thing. The bonnet open warning alarm regularly goes off for hours on end. Very annoying! It has been in to the dealer to be looked at a couple of times but it always starts up again. I assume they have checked...

Hi All I imagine a few others have also received a non-safety recall notice to fix the seatbelt issue. Mine came in the post today with instructions to book in with my dealer when convenient. Mine needs to go in anyway for a persistent, but it appears erroneous, warning light. Aside from...

Agreed - and +1 nice spec!

That's a great looking spec and a lovely part of the world.

The steering feels lighter and easier to place with your fingertips without feeling artificial or assisted in any way. More precise. The Exige felt rawer and more primitive (in a really good way, I loved that car). I’d also add that the stability and grip are phenomenal and I’ve barely scratched...

Cheers. An interesting observation is that the car is absolutely filthy after the terrible weather yesterday but it still looks good. Dirt seems to suit it!

After a two year wait. It’s finally here. 300 miles in via Caffeine & Machine and I’m loving it. I actually prefer the handling to my Exige. Speaking of which, someone please head over to B&C and give her a new home. She is a great car.

See you there in the new motor (picked up yesterday).

Hi All Anyone using one yet? Any recommendations? I'm thinking of the Stoplock Pro Elite but not sure if it will fit (although it looks like it will work for pretty much anything). Cheers

I have. Delivery to Bell & Colvill supposedly 31st Jan.

I'll miss this when the time comes to trade it in. End of January I'm told.

I said I’d asked. Doesn’t necessarily follow that I’ll get!

Anyone seen this yet? I'm not in the UK at the moment (although I have asked the other half to pop out to the newsagents for me...).

Better than both of my Elises and my Exige.

I was in a pub in Portsmouth (where I don’t live) searching online for this exact watch having lost out in a recent auction. I found only one for sale in the UK - in the antique shop next door. Some coincidence. Had to buy it.

As a result of waiting for my Emira for such a long time, I now have nothing left to say about cars. Therefore I thought I’d head over here to the watch section while I wait. Small collection with the above being one of the more interesting pieces.

It’s beginning to look a Lot-us Christmas, SOON deliveries will start, And the prettiest sight to see, is an Emira just for me, If they can source the parts. 🫣

Turns out I've been living with the "problem" for the last couple of years. I must admit I had to check! (I didn't drive it with the roof off, Lotus. Promise!)

I actually believe it’s the Exige supercharger auxiliary belt I’m waiting for so I’ve misled people somewhat. Shows the extent of my mechanical knowledge! It’s all part of a rather expensive service I wouldn’t have had to carry out had the Emira arrived on time, but I’ve made my peace with all...

Indeed. Not an issue and at least I was informed as you say. Would probably accept further (temporary) deletions if it meant I'd get my car sooner!

Perhaps not an uncommon problem...

Hi All Just had a call from Customer Care. Very polite chap advising me that my black-wheeled car will be arriving (latest I hear is in January) with silver wheel bolts as the black ones are on back order. They said they would be swapped out at a Lotus centre once they're back in stock...

It's quite fun to build - but it looks nothing like an Evija!

Received my checkout email today. 28th April 2021 deposit with Bell & Colvill. Originally June delivery. Currently Dec build, Jan delivery. Nimbus, black pack, black wheels, yellow calipers, sport, Goodyears, Alcantara with yellow stitching, Alcantara steering wheel, tracker.

Apropos of (almost) nothing, UK based but I used to work in Fort Mill. Enjoyed a trip to Charleston in a Mustang 5.0 and a blast up to the mountains round Asheville in a big old Dodge Ram Hemi pickup. Great fun. Took full advantage of the taprooms of Charlotte. Good times. Put my deposit down...

Hi all Anyone know what tyres are on the Eastleigh car? Cheers

Lotus are fully aware of my pre-reveal Bell & Colvill deposit, they've quoted the exact date back to me (April 28th 2021). Hasn't stopped my delivery being pushed back to January. Very far from the end of the world but I was looking forward to being close to the top of the queue!
