Delivery October (but if delayed may just go for March '23)
If in October, will ask if they can register close or on my birthday as plate will be XXII OCT :)
Hethel Yellow (in years to come and when I'm dead, Jayemm Jr Shmee250 will say "The yellow first editions are THE only Emiras fetching 9...
I completely agree with you Rudolph. I was thinking about the final edition Evora too with I think 430bhp? an amazing yellow colour, cost a whole lot more than the emira. Interior all colour coded, sexy seats etc etc. It had this exclusivity and tailored aura about it. The reason I chickened out...
Chinese just taking advantage of the goodwill the Emira has brought. Will probably have a massive premium and then half (and then half again) by that time, it may be a good investment! :)
I have a 4R on order (drawing board at the minute, expected this or next year). I mistakenly thought I'd have the Emira before I get the Atom, but who knows now! I agree with you, it is overpriced for what it is, but it is hand built with rock solid residuals. I will never sell though, this and...
I am struggling so much with the actual configuration of the Emira, familiarity is breeding contempt! Do I want sexy and luxurious, do I want hardcore and sporty, do I want shocking or safe? To be honest, I think Lotus will honour orders/prices/interest rates for the FEs, not sure about the...
Anybody chosen nimbus, black pack, black wheels with alcantara, yellow stitch, alcantara steering wheel and yellow calipers? does the stitch lift the interior enough?
My thinking is restricting the colours to 3, grey, black and yellow.
I'm going crazy here waiting for my 3rd call! Keep...
Coming from a mainly Porsche background. Would this work with yellow calipers and yellow on the outer rim (painted not tape). I will probably smoke the wheel caps so the 2 yellows match or is it wiser to go red outer rims and red calipers? Too much red? I feel the need to highlight where the...
Not sure what lights they are, but I love driving through country roads in the dark and the full beams switch on and off automatically not to dazzle oncoming vehicles. I feel like I'm in the Forest stages of the LOMBARD RAC!
Google that if you are under 30 :)
Yes sweaty hands will be bad, but I wouldn't say ruin. I'm sure detailers will bring stuff back to life again! I'm going to try to use gloves but am sure will feel too self-conscious after one drive!
In my opinion, Lotus should be green or yellow - but even though I love the configurator green, the real green is just too dark for me. It hides the lines, the black roof gives little impact. I think it is an amazing colour, subtle, premium etc. but unless it is a few shades lighter, it's not...
We have a few offices in Nottinghamshire (Mansfield/Blidworth)If we do go for the same spec, be sure to flash me whenever we meet on the road :).
Yes TXEMIRA, a lot of people think red and red doesn't work, but I'm not so sure. i just wish they had white leather or even cream :(
Hi Emira2recurring :) yes, exactly right. Just speak with your dealer. DO NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER. This is purely a speculative transaction, there may not be another manual version but if there is, you will be quite high up the list. All you are doing is transferring some funds from your...
I don't know if you want to take the same route as I did but I have deposited some money with my dealer and Lotus UK know about this - it is an intent to purchase the Emira GT (GT4 hopefully). It is fully refundable and if too close to my FE, will just not go ahead with it. If it is materially...
Hi. No, but the dealers have their internal communications. It shows a matrix of what works and what doesn't work and there is a designer choice e.g. magma red with black, black pack and black wheels. This is to help customers who need guidance. I asked whether red and red was too much and it...
I thought this would look good too. Kind of Ferrari f40, Honda Type R configurations. Lotus have suggestions for the interior/exterior and red and red is classed as AVOID - but that does not necessarily mean you have to! They also have designer choice and acceptable combinations - may be a good...
I was there at 4pm on Sunday (couldn't make Saturday) I saw a nice cayman and quadrifoglio, customer cars though. Yes, Ashford is a great new dealership with enthusiasts as employees!
