I ordered mine ~600 days ago! Lol.
Soon after I ordered, I lost all my 'play money' in the crypto crash; Have taken until now to get back to where I can pay for it again.
Given all the delays, I guess it did not matter as much in the end, and all that stress in the middle was just in vain XD.
I...
Haha well, it's literally my last cent. Cannot afford the car anymore, when placed my order it was around 25% of my portfolio value.
Now it's right below 100% of my portfolio.
Guess I will have to work up the money and pay for it, maybe there will be a special edition when I have done that.
The seats are made by Lear i was told on the tour. "It's does not make sense for us to make seats when they better and cheaper" well so far that does not seem to be the case.
The handmade seats they did for their old models are really nice.
On my factory tour the leather looked saggy like that in one car i looked into. But never asked if this was acceptable to them or not.
The guide did mention the interior needs to be perfect before they release pictures, "people will complain about the slightest thing if we relase pictures...

I would very much like a manual...
I went to the factory in Hethel hoping to see the Dark Verdant car.
Was the only one I did not see, they said they had one but did not know where it was at the time XD.
The test driver said that it was closer to British racing green than black.
Was really hoping to be able to make up my mind...
Haha seems more mad to put down 100k on a car you never seen XD.
Talked to lotus and they said you can sit in and touch the car and materials on the tour :)
I have also booked a tour of the factory now! Very nice, never seen the car in the flesh.
@3MIRA is there a place where one can view and sit in a show car and view the options on sight?
Thinking if i should arrive early for my tour and spend some time in the showroom (if they have).
Says not...
This was my dream, classy, Aston martin vibe.
But the DV in the current configurator does not show the lines of the Emira that well in my opinion.
I don't have any images. If it looks like this I want it.
But people say it's over-exposed.
