I checked out on Nov 3rd and still no delivery date insight… I opted for dealer collection as well.

I think my car failed the PDI and is now waiting for a part but I haven’t been told what… I’ve asked again what exactly was wrong but LCC are also in the dark…
That's a bummer. Hope is it sorted soon

That's a bummer. What makes you think it failed PDI? Are they giving you any info on the cause of the delay?

Hi. Just started the check-out process for my Nimbus/Black pack/Tan FE manual . Hopefully collecting from B&C in a couple of weeks.
I have used Elises as a daily driver since 1999. S1 for 15 years then a Series 2 SC and currently an S3. My flexibility has not improved in the last 20 years so decided on the Emira. Placed my deposit the day after the Launch and got my checkout email yesterday.
I got to test drive a Manual with touring suspension last Sunday at Bell and Colvill. Not much to add to the other comments on here except noone has mentioned the close ratios in the gearbox. To me they match the engine really well and are ideally set up for UK roads. Even when pootling around the busy B-roads of Surrey the Engine/gearbox is a joy to use.
I can't comment on performance as limited to 4000 rpm running in period. However I hope to get me car in time for Christmas so I will have an ulterior motive for visiting family in the Brecon Beacons. Can't wait!
It's here!! Well at Bell & Colvill anyway. Really pleased how the spec turned out. Can't wait to collect next week.

Aha, it’s yours!

I was there yesterday for my test drive and was admiring it. Mentioned it in my test drive review as well. Lovely spec.
