I’ve seen a small meet in bucks on here. Every 6 weeks or so. Not too far from you guys. Not made it myself yet. I’m over in east herts. Search for ‘bucks’ and you’ll find it!

It was when the gearbox was replaced that these faults occurred. I think to sort the problem was fairly easy and certainly didn’t have to change the whole gearbox

I thought it would be something in the gear stick mechanism but the lotus tech said it was in the gearbox. Kind of made sense as that was what they had changed. So the new box was faulty or a lead not plugged in. But the dealer did want the car for 3 days but then sorted it after 1. They were...

My gearbox seized on day 2 of ownership. When they replaced it the reverse camera wouldn’t engage which I new previously worked. The auto parking break wouldn’t work either. Not sure whether that have ever worked. It was fixed saying a switch in the gear box controlled both and that was the...

2.5 hour round trip to dealer sorting a few other problems and found the windscreen wiper recall letter when I got home. Typical!!!!!

You got off lightly. Cost me 4 jackets, two umbrellas, 4 caps and a few other bits but they did throw in an 25th edition elise t-shirt. But the picking up experience was worth it. Ps by that time I was broke and couldn’t afford the car cover

Is the box the same as they used on the exige / evora. So lot’s of experience. My box is broken but had other lotus’s for 25 years with no problems (well very minor ones - who would put electric windows in an elise- what’s the point). I accept things go wrong but the car is much more...

An update. Gearbox seized!!! Thought I would have felt or heard that. The dealer says because of a problem with the linkage two gears were selected that caused the seizure. Anyway new gearbox supplied and dealer fitting over Easter. Excellent service in getting the car recovered and fixed with...

I can get into reverse and back to neutral but won’t move back to the right almost as if the reverse select is not releasing. Not sure how it works and have now gad a look at trying to get at it but didn’t want to risk damaging any of the trim. Only picked it up yesterday so I guess it’s going...

Anyone had problem with gearbox. Just lost all forward gears but can still get reverse. Maybe a small adjustment. On back of aa lorry with plenty of time to spare!!!

I thought he would leave it til 1st April and have us ‘all going’ again!!!

Have you seen the 0 - 60 thread?

…. soon

Beautiful - my spec except red calipers - Excited - Delivery early next year / soon!!! Thanks for the photos. Happy Christmas everyone

Who's car will be delayed because they've run out of silver bolts in a few weeks?

Wow, there's a queue to book which seems to have some sort of order. Is this Lotus?

Reminds me of trying to impress my now wife with my Elise. I was told you can get more bottles of wine in a Corsa. A statistic I never seen in any specs! How many in an Emira?

I’m sure you will get lots of offers….. but with strings attached!!!!

Easy. I would have bought 2

That’s almost a reason for a poll but I think it might have been done

So right!!!

That brings back memories. New gold dream. Only have it on vinyl so may create a problem in the emira

Just managed to get tickets for Thursday. Taking wife, like others, who's not seen an Emira in real life, but been subjected to lots of video and photos. Kids disappointed as they have to go to school but i did promise them a factory visit as its educational! Good to meet if possible

Ok. Will go back with tape measure for the wheel gap, scales for the wheels. 6 inch heels to make me taller to see if pedals ok, my son for the shorter peopleWon’t ask if anyone has any questions as I would be there all night Ok. Will go back with tape measure for the wheel gap, scales for the...

No idea what version pre prod or whatever but this looks great

Just driving to pick parents up and saw this. Nearly crashed. How, what, when, why and lots more. Any input. Various ideas gone through my mind. Obviously registration possible gives it away

I’m surprised they managed to get two shifts going. I’ve tried to employ people not a million miles away and finding it very difficult after brexit. Unless they are paying over the odds and can find people that want to work, then increasing the output will be difficult. There’s a lot of fruit...

Wow. I think there will be many jealous people out there. Where does the bed go?

So if you're lucky enough to pick it up from Hethel, and they let you out on the track, what you going to do??

When you’re sitting in the car how much body colour do you see? You buy a lotus for the handling and I’m sure when speeding through corners the last think you are thinking about is the colour. Maybe I’m trying to justify my colour choice that I’m not sure about!!!

Welcome, you'll have plenty of time to change your mind on the colour, change it back, change and then back etc. like the most of us, then lock yourself in hoping you made the right choice. At least you should see the colours before purchasing Mine's DV no BP and too late to change!

If only the emira had a sunroof. Easy to install a pulley / winch system….. or maybe wait for the soft top version

That could be a new thread…. What else do you do when waiting for an emira???? But needs to be clean!!! I fitted an alarm in my garage today. Rough area …. Not really. On essex borders so close by. What was your spec @Exige2000

Firstly - thankyou for a very informative forum. Secondly - the stats - ordered 8.00 am 10th July - delivery confirmed August Thirdly - what did i order? Easy decision - V6 manual, touring, DV, NO black pack, black alcantara seats red stitching to match the red calipers - and yes I've seen...
