[CDM1855]

Can you link to the original photo please?

Doesn’t seem to work. It’s at the lotus Emira group on face book

Thank you! I was hoping it would be higher-resolution than it actually is, but still better than the screenshot.

Wow First customer delivery from November deposit unbelievable , some people get lucky whilst others get the rough end. Luck of the draw now deposit order well and truly gone out the window now.
Maybe we should all send Lotus nice little mail tomorrow

Wow First customer delivery from it says an August deposit, some people get lucky whilst others get the rough end - Life in general. Luck of the draw now

He said November on Facebook, seems somewhat surprising, I’d have presumed there would be some launch/Goodwood deposits across Europe

There are, it's just that Lotus have backtracked on what they said before about a sequence based on deposit date. It seems fairly random now.

That's not a bad idea actually, not that it will make any difference, if lots of people contacted LCS tomorrow asking for an explanation

So in the whole of Europe the nearest deposit date was November- surely there must of been deposit holders earlier than that ???? it doesn’t make sense is he Mat Windles best mate there’s a rabbit off here. Perhaps Lotus started at the wrong end of the que so now the earliest depositors gonna get their cars last
The gift that keeps on giving - think I’m here for the comedy factor now doh

Maybe it's because he's the earliest EU depositor that isn't a forum member... the conspiracy continues...

And I thought everyone with an Emira deposit was on the forum

not if you actually want an Emira delivered apparently... they just want us to talk about Emira's...

Those who can recall Chapman's legendary disdain for Lotus customers will likely see a parallel with what's currently occurring. As Tom pointed out recently, almost every criticism, whether it's zero communication, fudging of deposit order etc, it can all be countered by the full order book.

FIRST CONFIRMED CUSTOMER DELIVERY!

Man, it's so great to see this car finally parked on a customer's driveway. Happy for the new owner!

 

[Wizardwings]

put it through an upscaler - it came out a bit funky in certain areas

 

[DJS]

He has finally picked it up

I’m telling you that’s a cardboard cutout.
