Interesting, I thought of copying the original turbo esprit type style too but it doesn’t really work on the Emira (and I don’t have the turbo) Thinking I might put Lotus above Emira and offset it same way but using current typstyles.

Same here, LHD location but only occasionally. Bordering on being annoying though, will mention to dealer when I bring in for service.

Maybe you can mount your fishing rods over rear engine cover like James Bond did with his skis!

As I love the 80’s Turbo Esprit especially with the pinstripe and the “turbo esprit” decal on the side, I have been seriously thinking of doing this to my Emira. What do you guys think?

I had similar front plate issue in New York. There is apparently an under bumper mount that doesn‘t require drilling but talking around the high end sports car scene here, many people just don’t mount a front plate and tickets are apparently almost never given for it. So I’m thinking I’ll just...

Ok, I’ve had all of two hours driving it, but honestly, and I’m a pretty critical guy, it’s like nothing else. The handling and road connection is just unmatched. It’s fun at low speeds with gearing requiring quick shifts that keep you involved (very annoying you have to switch to Sport mode...

What the? Something’s not right with that. Car can’t have been here since December…. All Lotus dealers are low volume…. I thought I was being left behind with a Sep 2021 deposit but you are even father in the dust. My dealer clearly didn’t want to waste time as every day it sits on their...

Yeah, the MSO is probably what they mean. Seems like another Lotus delivery hiccup. I invited some friends over for dinner to see the car but all I got was some pictures. It’s like looking at your baby through the window in the hospital nursery…. you just want to walk in and pick it up! Just...
