Lotus Certificate of Provenance!!! I finally received mine!!

[LastICE]

I ordered it through the parts department from my dealership on 5/22/24 and I just picked it up today. Took long enough but it is worth it (I think) with all the additional info about my baby.

BTW, it isn't free. $344.45 after sales Tax.

Pretty impressive, especially where you were in the production run.
Worth-the-wait now has another meaning for you.
Thanks for sharing.

Very cool! I’d like to have the same for my car.

 

[Nick Sticks]

Very nice but I will wait until they stop the First Edition production so that it can say 1 of 10 of this colour or 4 of 25 with this interior etc rather than the 25th to have this or that.
Still, it had more interesting information listed than I was expecting so I might crack early!

Thanks for sharing, I wonder if the Engine number is located anywhere else (then on the engine block).
I am also a Jan 2024 build

Mine would probably say something like "the 157th Harry spec".

Glad to be in good company!

Meh.. Hard Pass. For a few trinkets.

Yeah... Aston Martin Heritage Trust will research a car for 80GBP with a more detailed report. No trinkets - none needed. Doubt Lotus will offer a no-trinkets price, but it would be nice if they did.

I got one for my Elise (direct from Lotus), basically just the spec sheet (first pic) and it was only ~$75...which I thought was a lot at the time! I think you can get one directly from Lotus, and bypass the dealer markup and trinkets

I got mine for free without having to ask or order one. Maybe the cost was included in the price of the car?

HA! That's a good point! I might've pulled the trigger too early. I might need to call to see if they can provide an addendum letter for mine. BTW, I just got this production update message from the dealer where I got my Emira. Just FYI. Time for you to pull the trigger.

"FE V6 Manual/Auto:
Production is complete. Cars (especially automatics) are still being shipped. But production on FE V6 is done. "

FE V6 auto production is completed? Hopefully I’ll be getting a call soon with an update.

Yes. According to my dealership, production for both FE V6 Manual and Auto is completed. Please note that I am in the US, so the status I provided might not apply to Canada.

Or the UK, which there should be V6 manual production in 2025 if my original order in January was to be honoured. Also the UK configuration website still says new orders would be delivered in 2025.
Of course anything can change, it will be interesting to see how in pans out.

But, but, he got a pen !!!

I contacted my local dealer. They say, per Lotus, the only way to get it is with the box of nicnacs.

That's a great spec! Best colour for the Emira! I would say that though, as mines Nimbus with Tan leather
