My advance thanks for the nod towards the 996...if the weather holds I will be driving that end of September on the way to the Furka etc. Unfortunately not in an emira. As much as I wanted to follow through with my purchase I lost faith at the last hurdle. I still regularly check back on this...

What I find incredibly ironic is how very prompt and efficient Lotus have been in my deposit return! If only they could have been so good at answering my emails beforehand!!

Marlow bucks boy too. Can't make this date AND On the 'I'm out' thread. But will hopefully come to one of these just to admire the beauty of the car.

I'm just going to add my name to this list. It's disappointing to leave (truth be told, I won't leave, I'll just lurk quietly in the hope of staying in touch with the goings on... You never know what may happen in the future!). I didn't mind the wait for the car as I had a car in the garage...

I love imparting my opinion so I'll do so... Absolutely love the front and back pins. I like the side, but think it loses the impression of the slim waist... Especially with the black pack. Side pin stripes look better on body colour roof. But the bits I love the most are your road trips 👏👏👏👏👏

At least it's made it to the top of someone's list😉

Apparently the dealers, sorry, I mean 'agents' don't even have the discs of these new colours yet. Would be nice to see them as I'm tempted to swap my nimbus to Osmium too... I think it will be 'sharper'. Might even go with the DC wheels! My car is now apparently due in June. So I'll be liable...

And your set up is...??? 🧐

Did you see the numbers board showing the total output so far?

Don't they have a board stating numbers of cars out of the door that day and also a running total? Did you see the figures?

But not trying at all with the Emira!

This is EXACTLY my situation. Offered cars but timing was such I'd incur costs to get money out as had locked it away following email saying due Q1 24. Not £6k of costs though😭😭😭. That price increase hurt... But then I always did going back to the hot Ex that wasn't marriage material 😉

My November 21 deposit is scheduled for Q2 24 delivery! 2.5 years😭😭😭😭

Very interesting read for me as that should be my garage when my Emira arrives. But F1 430 and nimbus emira. Albeit I've been feeling like bailing on Emira and going for exige. Don't have to make my mind up for a while though! Surely the 430 is more special? Roof down, prancing horse V8. Can't...

In terms of which is most expensive to own then don't forget depreciation. I reckon the ferrari will be worth same or more in 1/2 years. Emira probably less. But that's debatable. But in 5 years. Ferrari way more actual pounds increase than emira for sure. Unless you add silly miles to it. You...

Because Lotus are playing dirty tactics not to have everyone running for the hills whilst using our money to fund their production before moneybstarted coming in from the cars. If when you ordered the car they said you will wait 18 months and its actually going to be another £6k...how many...

Sorry if this has been asked and answered... How many cars have Lotus actually delivered? How many do we expect to be delivered by June? What % of all Emiras is this likely to be? If there was no video in August then I would be annoyed but not horrified! They knew then how long it would take...

I placed my order in 2021. They have delayed the delivery 3/4 times. The latest email sent January I think, scheduled Q1 24. So I have used that allocated cash elsewhere for the time being. If they punish me because of their delays, I will give very serious consideration to bailing. And I have...

Wierd! All I did was click the link and it came up with €19,990. Clicking on it now and yes, it's a little more palatable at €3490!

Just looked at the website... €20k 😳😳😳. Who is going to buy an £80k car and spend almost 1/4 of the price again on wheels?!

If you can make it to Henley-on-Thames /marlow they are beautiful towns. I'm bias as I live near them! Definitely places to go if you centre trips around food. Then Hambledon valley is beautiful and quintessential England.

Oh man! Brakes and seat belt failures... Hope nobody gets them together😬. @Sid wait until that gets fixed... You're brakes will feel amazing 😉

Nice. Would you mind doing a full car side on view.... Please?!

Love that. Stories like that make me wish I was older! In ever other circumstance I wish I was younger!

I think this is a very valid thread. Obviously we don't have access to people with Emiras but aren't on this forum, so we don't know their experiences. But those on here who have received a car are unlikely to never return! So when they do, they can add their comments here. Which should only...

100%. Going to do bonnet and wheels on my nimbus, black wheels, yellow calipers.

My friend traded his turbo S back in to his official Porsche dealer and they gave him £20k over list price. I doubt they then sold it for a loss. I think they are as guilty as Lotus.

I for one will be amazed if they ever set up a second shift. If they did it now, they would be producing more cars with glitches! Better for them to iron out all the problems they can before increasing production. And by the time they do that, I think they will have eaten in to enough of the...

Ha ha.. Me too! 😂

Thanks

I don't suppose anyone knows what the weight of the base spec with nothing added will be? Thanks in advance

For the time being😜 This is exactly my second spec choice... Currently favouring nimbus, no BP (which I have to spin the delay roulette of a spec change), DC wheels but then everything else still the same as yours. Only going nimbus because I know I'll never clean it! DV looks AMAZING! 👍👍👍

Nail on the head with 'tour' suiting the car the most. Its what I've been feeling for a while but I can't quite settle in my head. I want a sporty lotus (and truth be known I'd feel like I'd not got value for money if I didn't spec 'sport' as I'm sure it will be optional extra), but I feel the...

Can you remind us... Did you opt for sports of tour set up?

I really can't see the second shift thing actually happening. Maybe a kind of second shift on PDI and QC. But not full rpoduction. I just don't think that will allow them enough breathing space to solve any issues. And I can't see their type of production line (too much manual input) ever...

😂😂😂 A GTS 4.0...apparently he's our direct competition! I feel we can all rest a little easier at night now😂

OMG I'm getting old... I reckon the winf and splitter just look a bit stuck on! I'm not sure the car enough noise or go to wear them. They would need to inly be sold to those who have already bought the 25% bhp increase mod!

I will definitely be attending one, just as soon as it falls on a free day! How do 3 and 5 year olds have such a busy social schedule?!

Pretty similar to my opinion. I found the limiter too often on the LDA. An extra little shove on hitting the pedal wouldn't go amiss. Not worried about ride height, but the removal of the sport/tour fracas in some way and it'd be 9. Losing the domination of the SC whine in cabin and adding of...

I agree on the P car character. About 18 months ago, a friend took me for a porsche experience for my birthday. Great day (lovely lunch... Wayyyy better than what Lotus consider acceptable when you spend £1k on their LDA). We thrashed the latest 911's around a track for quite a while. Abused...
