Ive just chased my delivery with Lotus. Cant recall the date of my order but it was the day of the official Lotus reveal, not Goodwood Delivery was originally slated for June Delays for all orders are 6-8 weeks from the last notification and they confirmed a build slot for me in Sept I also sent...

wow, what a talent!

whos your broker boozjay.? I got quoted £2K , my Maser was half that

Ha Ha, honestly our American friends posts have been hilarious the past few days and its seem a vast majority of them are positive on the reviews. Whilst on the other side of the pond, not so much. Quite simply, if Lotus built the car that Lotus purists wanted and were biased towards track...

agreed, im not remotely interested as to what its like on a track as i suspect along with myself and a vast majority of drivers, particularly those new to Lotus it wont ever see a track.

ha ha brilliant i love the fat bastard character. I guess it explains why there is no wheel gap and its listing to one side.....

I seriously debated the Tan because it looked pretty classy on other cars i have had with the same interior, albeit the cars were painted diamond black. However having seen the Seneca Blue promo car twice with the black Alcantara, it was an easy choice for me. I sensed that the Tan may have...

Yes Daz you are quite right! But at 51 years old 2 bags is strong dough i think

I got an indicative quotation 2 weeks ago for the V6 Auto, £2K which is bonkers . My Maserati GT was only £1200

Hi I have seen the Seneca blue tour car at a Lotus event and Concours D'elegance. I have never owned a blue car, or a Lotus for that matter, never wanted either. When you see it under natural daylight as it was at Concours, its an altogether different experience. From 1 meter away you can see...

Yep got the same today. I ordered the day after the images were released. August it is, but its no big deal when you consider whats going on in the rest of the world......I can wait

wow, very interesting indeed, great post

Yes i dont diasagree, the conversations i had with Lotus on the production targets where back in Sept and Nov and they did say their intention was to ramp up but wouldnt give any figures, only that it would be 90-100 p/m for the Uk to start with and dependant upon demand which was significant...

ha ha, you got me on that one!

Apologies, my error for 2022 they were looking at a initial production run of 90-100 cars p/m for UK allocation.

In 2022 they hope to build 90-100 FE's per month and will ramp up towards the end of the year. I met Scott the Sales Director twice last year at varioues events and he stated this on both ocassions as do another Lotus exec

Id be a buyer at £80k, but i suspect it will still be £100K +

totally agree on your Emira analysis. Also your views on the Mclarens, no way i would risk it. Also heard about £30k engine replacements and £20K engine rebuilds. Mclaren have you by the balls with no real independants to fall back on

I have 2 premium electric cars, one of them being the Taycan CT and you dont get much for £100K. If the Lotus has 800v DC architecture, swathed in carbon and exotic materials and sub 3 secs its a £90-100K all day long. The images i have seen of the 132 look stunning. In my opinion is very much a...

i looked at 540 and 570. Well priced second hand but did a fair bit of research first which led me to steer clear. Repair costs are insane and with i think only 1 independant service co in the UK, who still need to order OEM parts from Mclaren it put me off. Even Main dealer warranties dont...

i can guarantee you wont be buying this car for sub £80K no matter what the forums are telling you, no chance

Christ Andrew, not only have you ordered the exact same V6FE in Seneca as myself, your last car was a Maserati GT, as was mine. I sold mine a few months ago as it was rising in value something Maseratis' never do. Personally, i cant wait to get my first Lotus, undoubtedly one of the most...

Yeah i opted for the Auto its suited me better also its hard to text and email in a manual ive found.......

Yes Andy, i ordered exactly the same car as the one i saw at Concours D'Elegance in Sept, although order was placed within an hr of the official launch. Only thing i missed was the yellow stitching on the steering wheel but to change that now would mean a months delay. I see youve orderd the same?

Hi Emiragirl Im from Notts, or now Leicestershire and ordered the very same car but for June delivery. Are you collecting from Central cars?

Darkmode is much better and easier on the eyes. Thanks for taking the time to do this supersix

I have seen the Seneca blue twice, once at Concours D'Elegance and then at a dealer. I mentioned on a previous post that im not really a Lotus fan and have never wanted one apart from an Esprit of course. But within 30 mins of the photos being released by Lotus i had ordered one. In the flesh...

thank you, my goodness some sanity and normality at last.....

Yes you can really see the metallic flakes in the sunlight, very prevalent. I do have some more outside photos from the day, happy to post them at some point if you wish

Im sorry if this has offended some of you, particularly our American friends, that really was not the intention. Its not a political statement, its sattire, supposed to be a bit of fun. I think the problem in the world today is people cant say or do anything, however benign without everyone...

Evening All Been meaning to post these shots since visiting Goodwood in Sept. These pictures give you a very good indication of what the car looks like in natural sunlight. For those that have only seen the car in the showroom, its a totally different experience when you see it in open air. Its...
