Blimey, Lotus have piled into Autotrader (UK) with no less than 8 adverts, the cheapest of which is under £81K for a brand new car with OTR costs included. Is this less than their own list price (I've lost track!)? Not a particularly good look if so :oops: EDIT: Yep, about £5K cheaper than if...

Have you driven an IPS Evora? The later IPS Evoras were really very good, much better than the early Evora and the IPS EXige. If the IPS Emira has the same gearbox software as the later Evoras then I don't think you would be disappointed. V6 growl and a bullet proof slush box - could be the...

Not sure if this a new listing on Pistonheads but it's definitely the cheapest I've seen so far. For anyone not wanting to click the link it's a private seller, 2022 car, yellow, silver wheels, ancantara, 3K miles - £70K 😳 https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/15395577 EDIT: and come to...

2015 Consumer Rights Act is a powerful tool in the UK (and the EU). For the first month you can reject a faulty car and obtain a full refund. The supplier even has to pay for collection (unless they have a clause in their T&C to negate this). For the first 6 months you must give the supplier...

Maybe true for the 'big' money but plenty of people have made a few £K with slightly less exotic (but still special!) cars like the GR Yaris and now the latest GT86. I think there may have been a few people hoping that the Emira demand was going to be like these cars, for a year or so at least.

Interesting - they've driven it all the way to Ladybower reservoir (40ish miles) for the photos, must have been a nice little 'jolly' for one of the salesmen ;)

Nice car OP, I had a yellow i4 on order (due in July) and then cancelled in a fit of temper when the price went up :LOL: You should sell quickly at that price, good luck (y)

My first deposit was pre-reveal, July 6th 2021, placed with a Lotus main dealer. As soon as the official order book opened I paid Lotus themselves, on July 7th 2021. I originally ordered a V6M but quickly changed to an i4, with repeated reassurance from Lotus CC that my place in the queue was...

Lack of Type Approval is not the only possible explanation - Lotus may have simply 'forgotten' to tell them (and Thatcham) about the Auto. Check out my post on page 3 of this thread regarding the V6S Exige Auto - exactly the same scenario EDIT: Sorry John, I can see that you replied to my page...

Today I've had a test drive at Oakmere Lotus (Prestbury) in the UK. I've posted these words on a couple of other forums but this seems to be the biggest and best collection of test-drive reviews so I thought it worth a quick C&P - apologies if you've seen it already ;) Road conditions for the...

At the time I tried the 'I don't know the reg' option and the 350 Sport Auto was on the list but not the V6S Auto, the V6S was manual only. Come to think of it I havent been back to try again, maybe it's now on the list for 'I don't know the reg' ? I have the name and email for the relevent...

Interesting thread - I have some recent 'experience' that is sort of relevent :LOL: A couple of months ago I bought an IPS (auto) Exige V6S, the idea being to try out driving an auto in preparation for my i4 Emira (i.e. do I really want one?). I know it's not the same gearbox but I'm bored...

I'm leading Group 4 from Ashbourne so keep an eye out for this little beauty :love: (Tom, I will also be seeing you on Pootle ;) )

In answer to the original question.... I was an early depositor, put my money down before the car was revealed at Hethel and it's been a bit of a journey since then. Originally it was going to be a FE V6 manual, delivery promised in June 22. Then I changed to an FE i4, delivery expected some...
