    Highest mileage Emira’s?

    Hopefully you get some hassle free time with it now! Mine is going for new doors (paint bubbling) in a few weeks, other than that it’s only been back for a few smaller problems….. so far…..

    Highest mileage Emira’s?

    I was browsing the Emiras for sale in the UK on Autotrader and realised I’ve covered more miles in mine than most for sale now. Mine is a 2023 (73) and, despite not being a daily, I’ve just ticked over to 10k miles since picking it up, having road tripped it a few times around the UK and...

    Annoying Rattling Noise When Car is Warm

    Oh! Well give me a message when it’s back - maybe it’ll be a bit better!

    Annoying Rattling Noise When Car is Warm

    Mine is now 15 months old, has done 9k miles and has had its first service at Lotus Silvertone… and it’s still makes the exact same sound you’re describing - it’s done it since the day I got it from Hethel. I keep being told it’s normal and nothing to be concerned about but agree with you it...

    Open Valve Hack

    I have the Miltek valve controller on my Emira and it works well - cheap to buy, relatively quick to install too. I mostly now just leave the valves open all the time (cold starts are much better now!), but it's good to have the choice without having to change driving modes...

    Never even considered Shadow Grey, now I am dying to see this combo in real life!

    The first time I saw the colour in person was at the factory on my own car! My wife talked me out of Verdan Green when I ordered and got to say I’m happy she did. I’m biased but I love the colour!

    Never even considered Shadow Grey, now I am dying to see this combo in real life!

    I chose shadow grey and I love it! There’s a blue sparkle to it in the sun, which is when it looks best, so the Socal sunshine will suit in perfectly. Plus not many people choose it so it’s rare. As someone else says, lots of photos on the thread but happy to share some photos of mine in the sun...

    Lotus Emira - Road Trip Vehicle?

    This sounds amazing!! Can you tell me who you used to ship your cars (and what price if you don't mind!)? I want to take my Emira to the Alps next summer, so getting to Milan without driving would be perfect. (Just can't face the long boring French motorway journey). To the original post, I...

    Post a pic of the car you replaced with your Emira! And impressions too.

    Replaced an M2 Competition (which I loved!) with my Emira and not looked back once! 😎
