Christmas is coming.

My Emira V6 1st Ed Auto is my daily driver. Once ambient in Belgium get below 7 centigrade average (45 F), Inget my winter tyres on. I have them stored at my dealer’s and they sit on a second set of slightly smaller rims. My car is dark verdant with cognac leather. The summer wheels are silver...

You should certainly stick with your Zinc Emira. I like the colour personally, but that is just taste for colour. As others have said, you will never get a chance of owning a car like the Emira ever again. I have 15.000 kms on my Dark Verdant V6 Auto since 21 March 2023, which is my daily...

I fully agree with your analysis. Bu the way Lotus treat their “dealers”, by rebranding them as “agents” where you can pick up your car ordered online. whilst again demanding to refurbish their premises for hundreds of thousands of euros, dollars, pounds, is an absolute scandal. If you want...

You are absolutely right. Probably the best Lotus dealer in the World. The Emira is the 4th Lotus I buy from him. Sterling service, profound knowledge of everything Lotus plus simply a nice, smart and unassuming person. Hope to meet you one day indeed!

My Lotus dealer is Thierry Verhiest from Lotus Oostende (Ostend) in Belgium. He contacted me because Lotus had issued a recall for a piece in the automatic gearbox. In addition, Thierry has been pushing Lotus for the wiper issue. Lotus has solved the problem. As far as I understand this issue...

I do not know which wipers they are. But my Emira has been in for a wiper motor replacement and the issue with the faster wiper speed not working after a longer time on the interval position has been resolved. Good luck, Bart

I collected my Emira three weeks ago from Lotus Thierry Verhiest in Ostend, Belgium. I ran it in to Potsdam, Germany from Ghent, Belgium and the, to Noordwijk, The Netherlands. I noticed the windscreen wiper speed issue coming back from Potsdam. Not being able to switch to the high speed was...
