Spotted: Emiras seen in the wild

Thank you - and thank you! I am still dazzled by the Emira's beauty every time I see one. Drives kinda well too..
Yeah, it’s an amazing car - an absolute event every time I drive it. If you’re in the area again over the weekend and see a couple waving at you, stop and say hi (assuming it’s safe to do so!) I’d love to meet a fellow owner across the pond.

I'd have headed into town tomorrow to say hi but I'm actually heading to the Jim Clark Museum in Duns, true Lotus legend. Worth a visit if you have the time!
 
Spotted in Hadleigh, Suffolk today.
A seneca blue Emira parked up in the High Street.
This is the first one I've actually seen on the road.
I stopped and had a closer look but no one ran out to accost me!

Had seen none in the wild until a few days ago (seeing people test driving them near the dealership doesn't count :D ), then came across two in the last few days!

Howdy to the owner of a Dark Verdant w. diamond-cut wheels who was heading along Abingdon Road into the middle of Oxford on Saturday morning 👋 (I was on a bus with the kids, so you would not have seen me in The Seneca Menace this time! :) )

Also howdy to the owner of what I think was a sparkly new Meridian w. ice-grey interior, with a fairly memorable plate number, that was parked outside Auto Wax Works in Silverstone 👋 (dropped in to pick up my old wheels - this is where I got my my PPF and ceramic done and wheels changed over, and the service from Sam and the gang there is great 👍 )

Didn't take a picture of either, as it really isn't my first instinct to reach for my phone when something interesting happens... I just feel weird about the idea of waving a camera at people/events rather than just taking it in there and then 😅

Spotted in Ipswich last Friday.
I had just come off a roundabout and looked ahead and went through a moment of going is that one?.... yes it is!
I've gone from not seeing any on the road to three in one week counting the red one at the Ipswich PPF Centre on Saturday.
Picture from my dash cam Viofo A229 Pro which I grabbed a still from the video later.

Was walking to the station in the sweltering hot and heard a familiiar V6 growl approaching from behind. Looked back to see a Magma Red (my first sighting!) roll down the street. Windows were closed, so obviously AC was working.
 
Saw my first Emira in the wild today, white, parked off of NY-17 just south of Harriman/Tuxedo between 10-11am. I was booking it to and appointment in my Nimbus, otherwise would have stopped!
 
Howdy to whoever had their Dark Verdant at Caffeine and Machine (The Hill site near Stratford) today ... I was the Seneca Blue with gold wheels that pulled in for about an hour between 2 and 3pm :tiphat:
 
I was hunting for this thread last weekend.

Saw my first Seneca Blue in Goudhurst, Kent last Saturday. Got a wave and an unspoken mutual acknowledgement that we chose the best colour ;)
 
Just spotted a Dark Verdant Emira on a quiet back road near my home in West Linton while I was out on my bike this morning. They are still a vanishingly rare sight round my way so it was a nice surprise to see it. Anyone here I wonder?

I guess there are more Emiras in Oxford. Here’s a Verdant we spotted in the wild with silver wheels. I heard a growl on the road and turned around to a delightful sight.

Interesting that the women and little girl in this pic could care less, but it really caught the boy's eye. Boys love their toys.
