DARK VERDANT!?

So you don’t have an order placed or a delivery month, why are you commentating on a visit!
Yes, that's similar. More like the Lamborghini than the Porsche. And with a bit more metallic fleck visible in the well-lit areas. Compare those to this Empire Green Evora and the section of front wing with direct sun on it:

I assume you mean 'contemplating'?
I have 2 deposits in place (late so delivery won't be until 2023 unfortunately). But I am spending far too much thinking time on this when I should be focusing on other stuff so I just want yo get it finalised in my head.
Touring, black wheels, Alcantara interior and wheel, yellow calipers... Its just the colour I can't decide.

What have you gone with?
Thanks Tom. That’s really helpful. Looking forward to the tour on Thursday!
Nimbus and changed the interior leather to alcantara #yawn

So in answer to my original post - nobody has a clear or shareable photo of DV anywhere. I have mine arriving in July and do not doubt it will be great, just a very strange situation how there is not even 1 sample photo of DV on an actual car!
Gotta call Phil for that. If anyone has one it’s Super Phil for sure. Or MW…

Morning or afternoon? I’m on the afternoon session.
We’re booked for the morning tour on Thursday. I called customer services this morning. They said they cannot promise that all 6 colours will be available for viewing on cars during the tour!
I've only seen pics of the diamond cut on the Seneca Blue showcar and Hethel Yellow Emira at the Eletre launch. The yellow one in Shanghai had black forged, but they weren't great pics. I spec'd full silver on my FE order, so I'd love to see some pics too!

Lotus really could do better. It is madness that some of us are taking annual leave to drive hundreds of miles, just for a glimpse of the potential colours, and paying for the privilege!We’re booked for the morning tour on Thursday. I called customer services this morning. They said they cannot promise that all 6 colours will be available for viewing on cars during the tour!
Phil didn’t see DV on a car, only a panel.
The only official photos of colours on cars have been Seneca Blue and Shadow Grey. There have been leaked or unofficial pictures of all the other colours.
The only DV picture was the one from a few weeks back at BBC for Top Gear and we all argued about the colour accuracy.
At this rate we’ll see pictures of customer cars before Lotus publish an official DV one
Those who ordered Dark Verdant must sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement and will also be prohibited from driving the vehicle during the daytime.
Indeed. Not to mention the considerable travel & accommodation costs involved. Unfortunately, we’ve just had to cancel our tour on Thursday due to a family bereavement, which puts things into perspective. Customer services were very helpful & understanding. Hopefully, they will have all six colours on show for when we reschedule the tour.

I've just bought a new vinyl and look, it's in Dark Verdant!
Yet another DV sample (different again!) at one of the Lotus dealers in Japan.
