Uk car arriving

[fatjase]

Well its arrived and am pleased to day it doesn't disappoint. It's a beautiful looking car. The Black Pack really sets it off. Only been for a quick drive so will report more later today. On a positive note for everyone else, I am delivery number 3, and they have 350 cars lined up to ship out by the end of the year, most of which are at pdi stage.

I can't believe their is an actual production Emira about 8 miles from me now. Looks great and very pleased you are happy so far. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for you out and about so if you see some random bald guy with glasses waving at you it is probably me

Looks stunning, makes me want mine even more now. Same spec outside apart from I have yellow calipers. What interior have you got?

It was all pretty good to be honest. I have had about 5 whatsapp messages from the delivery team, with photos last night of the car on the trailer. They kept me informed along the journey today with messages adn a google maps link. Arriver at 11:30am. There were two of them but one was from Lotus for the first series of handovers. I think its just the delivery guy normally. They went through everything on the car inside and out and it took about an hour. It wasn't rushed and I think they are as excited as I was.
There wasn't a handbook in the car - thats being posted out. CC said they would want to see an insurance certificate, but no one asked. I got fully comp insurance with Carol Nash for £354 in the end with 3yrs ncb and 5000miles per annum.
The transporter wasnt huge. Photo attached, and they drove the car off carefully.

Have you parked it in town and watched the crowds gather?

I took the black alcantara interior with grey stitching. I originally chose red stitching and yellow calipers but I got moved up the list if I took a cancellation and changed to black calipers and grey stitching. It looks ok though especially with the black pack.

I cant say I am wowed by the interior. Compared to my old Elise its superb, but compared to our German friends beginning with a 'P" then its not as classy or functional.

Looking good, congrats on the new car!

Will certainly have to keep an eye out if I'm ever in the Darlo area

Thanks for posting the pictures; looks great. Very jealous! Similar spec to my order, but having specified an Auto gearbox, am not expecting to see mine any time "soon".

Are there any other UK deliveries happening at the moment (haven’t seen any for a couple of days)? Anyone know many there are in this first UK batch of deliveries?

 

[TomE]

I've seen 4 publicised deliveries and 4 scheduled for next week. First batch I believe is 20 or 25 cars.

Thank you, and the next batch will start?

 

[TomE]

I think the next batch is Nov build/Dec delivery for about 60-70 cars.

Hi Mark, if memory serves me well I think you’ve already had the checkout email. Have you heard anymore after that? Have you had your final invoice yet? I’ve now checked out and was wondering what happens next… thx

I'm apparently due 'soon'.
I have been given my registration number. I'm just waiting on dates from the delivery contractor.
I believe the PDI has been done.

Hi yes . Process…. Phonecall offering 3 potential dates for delivery. Then chase CS repeatedly for an invoice so you can shift money in advance of delivery. (Most banks have £20k limit/day). Lotus normally raise invoice 48hrs prior to delivery, making it impossible for your money to clear in time for delivery!
Email yesterday confirming funds have cleared.
Phonecall today from nice lady (Helen) to confirm details of delivery, and she wanted to know my favourite radio station so they can preconfigured the radio! And whether I would have someone else present to receive the car!? All being well delivery Tuesday next week!
