What did you do to your Emira today?

I attended the Blackbushe Air Day today as part of the “Best of British” section of cars; Lotus and Morgans. I had a great day. Everyone was really interested in the Lotus and especially the two Emiras there & I spent a lot of time answering questions about mine We made many a kid’s day by allowing them to sit in the cars qfor photos – hopefully a few will become Lotus owners in 20 years or so!

There were some other very nice cars there as well as you can see. I would guess over 100 cars in total. There were probably just as many planes too including a 2-seat Spitfire giving passenger rides and a beautifully restored P51. There was also an impressive flyby of a Lancaster, they did 2 circuits over the crowds at low level.

I treated myself to a similar car meet today: the annual Alberta All British Motoring Society Field Meet. The almost constant rain resulted in less than half of the usual cars showing up (55 came). I was hoping to see another of the several rumoured Emira’s in my City, but mine was the only one. It was in good company with about 8 other Lotus. The star of the show IMO was a ground-up restoration 1938 Bentley: an absolutely gorgeous car in pristine all-original condition. Some photos below; enjoy.

Picked up my car from having GRP exhaust, 3rd cat delete and Milltek valve controller installed - love the way it turned out! In stock guise, I found the Emira to sound a little neutered...Now, the car sounds as good as it looks (when you want it to); major improvement! It can still be quite and tame when you want it to be, no drone... but, when you want it to shout at the top of its lungs, anything over 4k RPM is biblical

I did, went with the plain black and it looks much better. View attachment 61753

Hello. Sugar Land owner here. Was interested in the CF engine cover you have. Did you get that through dealer or aftermarket? It looks great. Did you add any other pieces?

So you can get around 12,000km (7,500 miles) from Cup 2s. Probably means mine will be ready for changing after my upcoming Europe trip.

Does anyone know where to get the Sport Cup 2 LTS tyres in the UK? I've tried a few local tyre shop web sites and they don't have the LTS versions? Is this a dealer only thing?

O h I so hope not. The costs will be frightening
