Emiras waiting for shipping to USA

I was at the local storage area for export Emiras in Norfolk yesterday. There were about 400 Emiras destined for the USA/Canada. Most seemed to be i4s, but I spotted 6 x V6 manuals, and as I didn't check them all there were probably more. The employee I spoke to said there were another 800 there last week, but they have been shipped (not sure to where). One or two cars had build sheets, one is included

in the photos below.

Thanks for capturing the staging area, I bet my I4 is somewhere in this lot. Nice to see them all wrapped up, to avoid acid rain damage

Thanks for the images. I'm certain mine is in that group as well. I've had confirmation mine is built and ready to ship.

Mine was built 9/5/24 vin 44031. Might be in that batch.

My VIN falls between the two shown so I’m thinking mine is somewhere in there as well.

I like that yellow hanger on the mirror, it has the ACBC logo on it, nice touch.
I'm guessing it says: Driver free brake pads.
@Biggles of Norwich Did you get a better photo of this?

Also that build sheet of the V6 going to Canada says no DAB radio - is that not a thing in Canada?

 

[MajHall04]

Does the I4’s have blind spot monitor or other safety features?

Interesting spec sheet which gives some insight to future options availability like a front camera, rear spoiler, alternative front body styles and a telematics module that might be used for over the air updates.

Sorry I don't have a better picture, I took the shot as proof of the manual gearbox. However, I think the tag says "Copper Free Brake Pads". Perhaps that is a specific requirement for some markets?

Mine too….. getting closer!

Ah yes, a bit of research says it's better for the environment.

 

[DigDugLotus]

I see mine!!! Finally!

 

[ToonFan]

I see mine!!! Finally!

Since you've found yours, can you have a second look and find mine too?

 

[Rainier]

I see mine!!! Finally!

Oh No!!!

 

[boisecrawfords]

Mine is about 4600, so hopefully part of that lot. If you could go back and take pictures of every VIN, then dump them into Excel, many of us would really appreciate it.

Now THIS is what I love to see! Also love the white interior shot.

 

[DigDugLotus]

Oh No!!!

Having seen the gearchange on a V6 auto today, it is possible, indeed likely (given that there were V6 manuals), that some of those cars were V6 autos. With their white jackets on, it's not easy to spot the difference between a V6 and an i4.

The build sheet in the picture is for a V6 auto, so there definitely is at least one in there. And my VIN sequence number for a V6 auto falls between the VINs pictured. I suspect a lot of those are the V6 autos that were promised in the coming months.

Doh! I grabbed a picture of the build sheet because it was about the only car which had one showing. I just checked it was legible before posting it, didn't spot it was a V6 auto! There may be lots of V6 autos then. Most of the cars were certainly autos.
