I had this Email too, although I dropped down to the Base I4 from the I4 FE after the last price hike. I am assuming that the price reveal for the Base I4 won't be announced before the 11th Aug so this is for the FE models only. Doesn't look good for the people awaiting the Base spec pricing. I...

After Emailing LCC today and getting very quick replies from Abi, I have moved my deposit from I4FE to I4 base. She did mention that they were hoping to have the Base configurator up live this summer, including the pricing🤷‍♂️. Yes, yes, I know what you're thinking, but where would we be without...

Thanks for the reply and some of the answers to the questions I have just asked lotus in an Email, after LCC Chat couldn't answer any of my questions😩. I configured the Black pack so that takes the price to £78,995 + OTR cost, taking it to just shy of £82K. I get your point of the waiting game...

I had the Email yesterday to go ahead and reconfigure the I4 FE and lock in my order. After the Kick in the teeth price increase, I decided I couldn't justify paying the new price of £82K. I considered cancelling straight away but took my time to decide. I'm now at the point of either cancelling...

That's good to know, its my first Jaguar🤞

I wasn't looking for a new sports car in July 21, I thought I was happy enough with my R8 and S2 Exige, albeit it 4 back ops meant I use the Exige less and less over the yrs😢. Come the reveal, I thought I would watch. I was blown away by the looks and the £60K I4 price. I put a deposit down the...

Hi Tony, I noticed that you mentioned that you recently went to the Solihull dealership. Did they have a Hethel Yellow (Non driving demonstrator) in there? It's the nearest dealer to me that allegedly has the Hethel colour, albeit it a showroom car. I have ordered the Hethel but need to see it...

I wasn't asked for the 2nd deposit either but I did Email customer service about a month after others on here were paying their 2nd Deposit. They then sent a link to pay and configure the car. I haven't had notification of it being locked in etc and the only build date info I received (Apart...

I will be following you if the prices are hiked.

I placed my initial deposit on 7th July 21, 2nd deposit 8th May 22 and yesterdays Email stated a build date of Aug 23. I'm assuming we can still make changes without affecting the Schedule. Can anyone confirm? I haven't seen the colour in real life yet so might change my mind at that point.

I hope so, not sure I'd go ahead with the purchase if it increased. I have had an F pace on order from Last Nov with initial delivery last July which has moved dates with the latest being Feb. I had to reorder it in June for a MY23 car with a £5500 increase but Jag done the right thing and...

I do hope the prices for depositors is held. I'm an early depositor for the I4 FE which has now significantly moved out from the original dates. Won't be happy to pay more due to the delays and the decisions to build UK cars later.

Yes, this was also my take from what he said. Glad I didn't sell my weekender this year now as I had planned to do originally.

Tell me about it, I've had an F pace on order since Nov 21, Was told a build Date of June, then 3 weeks before my build date it was cancelled and I had to reorder a MY23 spec. Thankfully I got away with not paying the £5K increase because my car was so close to it's build date, new date was...

I'm a big fan or Red cars as you will see from the photo below (my current weekenders) but the top photos just don't do it for me. The video of the red one with black pack looks better though, thanks for sharing CDM1855(y). Wouldn't pick red though due to everyone thinking it was a Ferrari

When the first photo above/below came out it really gave me a wobble on my colour choice of Hethel Yellow and I nearly changed it, but I thought I'd wait to see dealer cars before deciding. The latest pics including some others that have surfaced with the black wheels and privacy glass give it...

Thanks for sharing, pretty much the same spec to mine (Apart from the Caliper colour). Looks lovely🥰

🤣 Brilliant, sounds like a normal day at the Lotus planning department

That's good news(y), I was hoping for a HY especially as we saw the Seneca Blue during the reveal. I can't complain, Solihull isn't too far

From the list on page 1 it looks to be Seneca Blue with the following Bristol V6 manual Seneca Blue Black alcantara, yellow stitch Sports + Eagle Black Pack, DC wheels, yellow calipers

I'm having to do the opposite, my nearest dealer is Bristol but I have ordered HY and haven't seen it in the flesh yet. I don't mind the test drive in any colour, but I need to see HY in the flesh before locking in my I4 order. I'm regularly in Birmingham on business, I will have to plan my work...

Now that is hoping for too much :D I doubt the Base model will be built within a VAT reduction period,.

Will there be some benefit from our pain of waiting sooo long for our cars. Reading in the papers this weekend, there's speculation that Liz Truss is going to reduce VAT to 15%. If this is the case, this will be a significant saving for UK buyers about to receive their cars in the coming months.

It is sad to read your thread Tom and as others have said, you have been our backbone throughout the long wait. I did stupidly think that the interaction between you and other members on the forum with Lotus would help improve the Lotus communication. Its a real shame and my concerns are that if...

Colour is so personal as you say Tom, I've loved the Elise S1 and S2 in yellow along with the Solar Yellow in the evora's, so I don't think I'll be disappointed. Hope to see some in the flesh soon, wether that's a dealer car or the first customer cars🤞

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and your feelings when you physically saw it. I'm sure I will like it when I see it🤞

Right from the announcement of the colours, I had Hethel yellow as my first choice along with the Black packs, & Black gloss alloys and this stayed the same until some of the press car pictures came out around about April time. One of the photos below photos rocked my thoughts on the yellow and...

Thanks for sharing, that's a great space and collection❤️

That's great. I noticed that Alex Goy had one on Twitter the other week, so he maybe the Carfection representative(y)

Exacty, I look at my 18yr old Exige and it still looks strikingly good and like new and I think the Emira will be the same. This will be good news if it's a long term keeper especially.

Never had a Porsche but the Cayman 4.0 GTS surely gets some good reviews. I suppose the one advantage with the Emira is that they will unlikely be face lifting the car like Porsche does regularly, making the Emira a Timeless classic in the same way as other Lotus models are regarded.

I took mine out on the weekend and my son took my Exige, both great cars in different ways. I'm not going to lie, I do wonder if I'm doing the right thing by replacing the R8 with the I4FE :unsure:, the R8 is a joy. I may realistically end up keeping what I have, I have a good few months to...

That will be good, my line of thinking was that if some early depositers around the 9th/12th July have been told that their cars will be built in 2023 with more info in early 2023, I thought that they weren't going to be getting their cars until Q2 at the earliest, which would have a knock on...

With the news of members with relative early deposits on here who have ordered the I4FE being pushed back to 2023 without even an indication on the likely build month, It doesn't look good for I4 Base models being built in 2023 surely or at least not in any great numbers🤷‍♂️
