As always, shrouded in secrecy.
Next up - nondescript trucks with secret cargo spotted enroute to various dealer destinations, shadowed by anxious depositor paparazzi.
The Emira has achieved automotive celebrity status.
Game on!

I just think they've gone overkill on making sure the US customers keep having to wait to see a production vehicle with the US-spec amber strip in the headlights

You say that, until Lotus releases pricing info on the "premium factory cover" and it costs you $3500 you keep it!

Amazing skills! I have some old family photos from the 1900s through to 1930s - can you help work out where they were taken?

No these are all just Mist White. Whoever that was looking for a pic, here it is!

England

England

Thanks! They’re mostly India, Isle of Man and Scotland, a few in Europe. But one castle looks very much like another

Weren't all of those things more or less "England" at the time?

Acknowledged.
I'm working with 23andMe to identify all my personalities.
It's crowded in here.

Has any of these cars hit dealers yet? Anyone have photos of them at dealers?
