Makes me wonder when these customers put there deposits down. IE pre launch, around launch or after launch. I know, like myself, many on here are pre launch.

Completely agree. It would be like having a dog and not taking it for walks. I will contact my local mp to put a bill through Parliament.

Buying and not driving a Lotus should be made a criminal offence.

Well that would be me. 15 minutes? I would be there at least 2 hours before opening time as I probably will not be sleeping much the night before.

I thought that a Belgium dealer had 2 demo cars delivered last week. 🤔

Not had the 30 day call yet. But, allegedly, October. But there again, 2 years ago I was told March. So not holding my breath.

I noticed a guy purchased this Exige from Lotus Silverstone to fill in the gap while waiting for his Emira to arrive.

Did anyone see the Lotus statement on Thursday on the Lotus website, with regards to the launch of the "E-commerse site for parts, accessories and merchandise". The last line of that court my eye. It says " parts.lotuscars.com will significantly improve our already outstanding levels of service...

I absolutely love the Elan. Came close to buying one but got an Elise S2 instead.

⁰Actually, on closer inspection it is a 4 door. So is that you on your profile picture?

Is that the 5 litre v8 Starsky and Hutch car?

Just wondering Leonard, what car are you sitting in?

Surely, in my view, The Emira Forum has the same line as Club Lotus. Free to comment, congratulate or criticise.

From my experience of owning 2 Caterhams, I can say I had them for a total of 8 years and never lost a penny in depreciation. The only problem with buying a new one, which I found out last week, is there is a 11 month wait from deposit to delivery.

So with October deliver, does that mean those deposit holders will be getting the 30 day notice this month?

Yes, I looked at the McLarens there last Saturday. Amazing looking cars.

I am going to Silverstone, there demo is the same spec as mine apart from it has cup2's and the demo has the F1's.

Which dealer are you collecting your Emira from?

That looks fine to me. I will take it, besides it is in the colour I specified.🤣

Yes, got a tip off from a dealer that something was being worked on. So I naturally said put my name down for it, and put a deposit on it.

Just for your reference Tom, my 1st deposit was October 2019, originally told March 2022 delivery, now October delivery.

Yes me aswell. So does that mean we will be getting the 30-day notice this month. Also, Tom did say that, ie, September build October delivery, but in reality it would be 1-2 weeks after build. Is this still the case?

Have you seen the Audi R9. I can only imagine the looks of this car will be good enough for you.🤔

Anyone seen the new Audi R9? Looks amazing Tom and Leonard.

That is something to look forward to, even before taking delivery, for the 1st batch deposit holders.

Yes, me to. As you say the customer experience with the 4 dealers I visited is night and day different to Lotus. They were bending over backwards to be helpful and giving great advice. One even wanted me to go there for a consultation and test drives to understand which model best suits my...

Months, that Lotus "soon"

Well if they put that in an email, at least it is believable.

I cycled over that on Sunday.

I see what you mean about there being "customer cars" completed. For me, seeing is believing. I have been told delivery dates ranging from March this year to October. I have to say I am finding it difficult to believe anything they say. I will only believe it when there is my Emira residing in...
