what you would hope for from a professional...and not an office guy who says he can take a photo.. .
costs like 150 quid for a pro to come in and take some real photos...... if you cant afford that..... you cant afford to work at lotus in an important position

First UK dealer demo car has arrived at Caffyns Lotus Sussex. I think other demo cars have arrived today (including the sister Caffyns dealership in Kent), but this is the first one to publicise.

Good news it is touring not the original choice of sports.
Thought I was going to have to travel a fair distance to get a run in a car with touring suspension.

Yeah me too - it’s definitely touring according to the dealer

I do hope someone in the uk gets a DV demo car or I’m going to be pissed!!

It’s Seneca with sports suspension and black wheels. It’s also go black alcantera seats (not tan) as the table suggests.

interesting...the email from Caffyns I received today (and posted on here) details it as a touring suspension...will confirm when I test drive hopefully next week

I could be wrong as it was on Goodyears but the guy told me that the spec they have received isn’t what they ordered at all…

that much is true...I was there the other night for the Eletre tour...spoke at length about the Emira...they still didn't know then what spec they were receiving (they had been told it was blue but nothing more), but the car is there now...and the email from them details it as a touring suspension...which is great for me as that is what I ordered and want to test...as to the rest of the details (beyond it being Seneca) I have no clue just yet.

JCT are also running a Q&A about the Emira via the latest Story on their Insta profile - which also forces you to look at a lovely yellow Evora GT410 currently in their used stock before getting to the Emira part. Tempting!

How good are their stock photos
That 410 is stunning! Is that liquid yellow or something? Pearl/metallic??

Lotus Silverstone had their Magma Red car delivered yesterday. It has Ice Grey Leather, diamond Cut Wheels, Touring Suspension and F1 Tyres. Can't wait to get the call for a test drive. Delivery video on Lotus & Caterham Silverstone Twitter.

You could always ask "priority" customer Harry if you can have a look at his. He should have it by now, as Lotus have pulled out all the stops to get his car produced.
