Exactly my line of thought aswell now,Tom,but with Ferrari.They were around £70-75k last Spring when I was looking for a 12C or S1 Exige. I found a really good S1 Exige well below that price and figured it would be a keeper, whereas the 12C would just have been to scratch that itch for (what I thought was) 12 months until the Emira arrived. The 12Cs have appreciated more in the last year than S1 Exiges - both rare and special cars, so no regrets about the choice I made last year.
Perhaps I should get a 12C now and run it for a year while Lotus sort things out, then go into a Base Edition or make a change on my FE to push it into 2023. Emira test drive (and to some extent 12C availabilities) will influence that decision.
I've lost that excitement for it now with not just the delays but the poor comms and lack of clarity, I'm closer than ever to pulling the trigger on an Italian and moving to base emira ,whilst keeping deposit in but i imagine that will still be 2024 at the current rate...
What a complete hash they've made of this
