Japan - Shipping and Delivery (輸送中エミーラ目撃情報)

[shin73]

The one in Harajuku was already registered in the UK and did not have full black pack, so probably a different car. We only saw pictures of the partial shipment of an estimated 19 back in April, so it could be one of them. It can also be something we missed. 🤷‍♂️

Got it, thank you. So we know there are at least 2 Emira's officially registered in Japan! Seneca and DV.

We are definitely getting closer!

An Emira per month.
Mine will come after my daughter (6yo) graduate college!! yay!!💀

And mine will come the year I have to hand in my license due to old age😢

Absolutely! 100% growth in a month.

Today it has been exactly 2 years since my first deposit.
I still do not have the Emira in my possession.

The Emira exhibit that was there in April has reopened in July.
It seems that it is not a test drive but only a display.
It seems that time has gone back to April.

Are you based in Osaka? Same Seneca Blue car as in April, or a different car?

I am in Kansai and I think it is probably the same Seneca Blue car.
Also Fukuoka seems to have the same magma red on display.

At least take heart that all Canadian and American buyers are in the same boat as you. (i.e. 2 years later and not a single customer Emira has been delivered to the North American continent)

Finally, I am starting to see a schedule for the delivery of my car.
The dealer contacted me and said that my car will be delivered in August unless something goes wrong.
Currently, my car is waiting for the final check at PDI.

….But still the Emiras seems to be rolling in via ENORMOUS transporter trucks (lorries?)

(It is a “borrowed photo” so I do not really know “when and where”.)

Arrival of the "MORNING CAMILLA" delayed from Saturday to Monday. For those planning to go to Daikoku this weekend, no need to go on Saturday, but you might want to consider taking Monday off from work !

LOTUS IBARAKI’s first Emira (*they already have one for showroom) has been arrived on 17th, July and getting ready.

エミーラ1号車がショールームに到着いたしました。 | Lotus Ibaraki - blog

長い間お待たせをしておりました「V6 エミーラ」セネカブルーの1号車が、弊社ショールームに到着いたしました。ご納車に向けてまたこれからのロータスライフをご満足いただける様、しっかりと点検および納車前整備を行って参ります。

I don’t know whether if she is the one out of the 19 at Daikoku or not, either way, we can see some progress.

 

[virtualmacho]

Delays, delays... Need to find something else to do this weekend!

 

[virtualmacho]

Arghhh. This is so confusing...

Looks like the "MORNING CAMILLA" will stop at the Nissan docks in Honmoku on 2023/07/22 before moving to Daikoku from 2023/07/23 to 2023/07/24. The vessel will move between 3 docks to load/unload, but our focus is on the berth T6 from Sunday thru Monday.
とりあえず、日曜日～月曜日の T6 バースに注目ですね。

As for the "MORNING CAROL", current schedule shows it will dock at berth T3 all day 2023/07/27, but plans may change.
こちらは現時点では木曜日入港の予定ですが、まだ分かりませんね。

It would eliminate a lot of guesswork if we had eyes in Southampton...

Third car registered?

Third car registered?

Great to see at least 3 different cars (in 3 different colors!) on the streets. Progress, progress...
私の番はいつになったら回ってくるのだろうか...

Saw a Seneca Blue at Ishikawadai about an hour ago. Not the 131 demo car.

You mean with plates?? So 4th sighting of legal road car!?!?

はい！

The Seneca Blue car I saw in front of the Ishikawadai showroom earlier today may have been a Customer car, but more likely a demo car for Lotus Tokyo being prepped in the basement garage. If so, test drives are imminent.
反対車線を走行中にショールーム前を通っただけなので写真は撮れませんでした。ナンバーは LCI 広報車の「131」とは異なるものがついていました (エンドユーザー納車分の可能性もあるのでナンバー伏せておきます、っていうかもう覚えてませんｗ)。

Daikoku was pretty much shut down, as today is Sunday. The MORNING CAMILLA wasn't docked at T-6 either, so probably moored somewhere outside until tomorrow morning. Whoever is interested may try their luck tomorrow and Thursday!
大黒ふ頭は日曜日 (そしておそらく祝日も) は完全にオフなのですね。大部分が進入禁止になっていた上、お目当ての自動車運搬船も着岸していませんでした。

There is one more vessel of interest. The CEPHEUS LEADER left Southampton on 2023/06/18 and traveled thru the Panama canal to the west coast of the US and is heading towards Japan. Have no idea what it unloaded in the US, and what it is carrying now.
この船は米国西海岸経由で日本に向かっています。前述の2隻がスエズ運河を通って来た東回りの便なのに対し、この船はパナマ運河を通ってきた西回りの便です。
