    Harry sells his Emira

    Just popped in to see the reaction to Harry's vid. Nice to see Harry following my example ;-) although I never quite got to the ownership stage as I cancelled my i4 early this year. I purchased from Thorney with their warranty and the car has been epic. Done about 1400 miles since April and...

    I'm out - the cancellations thread

    Yes, I have found out this is a bit of a faux pas with supercars. Never post pics with the lift engaged. My drive has a steep curb so logic told me to leave it up so I don't forget and scrape carbon splitter etc. Must remember to only post pics in the lowered position.

    I'm out - the cancellations thread

    My Emira alternative was picked up today. Very happy with it but still a little regretful on the Emira. Also by strange coincidence the 4 week wait to get my deposits refunded by Lotus finally resolved today, just as I was making the final payment for the 650s. I will for sure keep popping in...

    Race to the first i4

    As requested, my Emira alternative was picked up today. Very happy with it but still a little regretful on the Emira. Also by strange coincidence the 4 week wait to get my deposits refunded by Lotus finally resolved today, just as I was making the final payment for the 650s. I will for sure...

    i4 Insurance

    I appreciate the troubles with Admiral recognising the i4 but I had a chat with them about my 650s today and saved £200 going multicar even when my wifes car is not due for another 6 months. Could be worth trying as Admiral were the cheapest on the Emira for me as well.

    Race to the first i4

    I don't have the space or money for two sports/super cars sadly. I do have a little regret as I was i4 all along and for the reasons you are all talking about. My plan was the Emira for a couple of years then into McLaren. I could just reverse it, and get the Emira after a couple of years. Maybe...

    Race to the first i4

    As the OP, I am so delighted to see closure on this with the first owners taking delivery of their i4/Emira Turbo today. Many congrats and enjoy your cars, I shall be living vicariously through you all. The irony is that mine was delivered a week ago to the dealer and I could be picking up this...

    Possible and he certainly tried.

    Race to the first i4

    Just had a call from Lotus Hatfield which I did not know even existed to say my car was ready to collect. Had to let them down gently as he had no idea I had cancelled.

    i4 Insurance

    I am going through limited or no no claims with admiral currently. As I have been a company car driver for over 25 years Admiral do not recognise my company car driving clean history. That said when I spoke to them they applied a new insurer discount and gave me the equivalent of 5 years no...

    Race to the first i4

    I had a chat with Lotus CC yesterday and mine was ready for collection now if I had not cancelled it. Ordered 8th July 2021 so fairly early. Probably one of those on Autotrader now.

    UK Private Plate for sale GC 10TUS

    Hi All I bought a personal plate GC10 TUS but as I will be in a McLaren rather than a Lotus in the near future, it makes little sense. I will sell for the price I paid from the DVLA £599, not looking to make a profit just move it on. PM if you are interested. Equally not interested in low ball...

    i4 Insurance

    I would suggest that the i4 has only just appeared on the insurers list. When I last looked it up a couple of months ago I had to use the v6 Emira as the i4 was not yet a selection choice. It might improve rapidly as they start getting delivered. I would also call the insurers direct and try to...

    i4 Insurance

    I used Compare the Market and best quotes were with Admiral. I think lowest was around £600 parked on drive, 57, 15 yr NCB South Herts
