I also don't think it's a plus 2, based on some older pics.....

The delivery pics from the GT430 thread show it did intially have the carbon seats, so they were swapped out at some point. I don't use the back seats and it was more from an originality perpective. Not a big deal though

Yup, I snagged it. I was on the fence last time it came up, but decided I now want to try my first 'auto' Lotus so this feels like the best choice given I love my GT410 and miltary grey is my favorite colour. Now need to try and find the original seats! DJ

The Olive Green GT430 at Lotus Silverstone has been for a sale for a while, just the colour or pricing holding it back? Looks like a nice one......

Hi, does anyone have any knowledge of the 3-11 for sale at Lotus Silverstone? I see the first owner was on here and covered the car pretty well, and looks like it was well looked after. It's had a 2nd owner, which probably has it on SOR with them. I was unsure of the splitter/canards when I saw it but those were supplined and fitted from Lotus it seems. Looks like a decent car but long way for me to travel to view, so any knowledge would be helpfull. DJ

Would like to pop along for this. How do I access the WhatsApp group? Thanks! DJ

Any idea if all these audible aids can be disabled, and if so remain disabled from trip to trip?

I ended up buying the WXJ 1 car, which for your register is 1271, engine no. 20232. I did get the certificate and although the car is a dry sump, the certificate does not show this. It was signed from production in May 82, registered in June. Dave

Number plate worth way more than £10k. That car was bought for the plate, more valuable than the car. I expect to see the car up for sale soon minus the plate.

Also just arrived, bringing the 100,000th Lotus built back to the house for the day.....

How tall are you? I'm 6' exactly and here is headrest for me, with around 3" space to the roof with the seat at the lowest position.

I think a 'serious assembly problem' would be more prevalent and not limited to European cars?

I'm pretty certain all these 'reports' of problems are fuelled by classic self-confirmation bias on internet forums for/by those that sit on a fence. The Emira forum now has 10+ actual owners who have gone to the trouble of posting their experiences with their actual cars and it's nothing but positive (19) Lotus Emira Journals | Lotus Emira Forum In contrast the forum dedicated to where owners can discuss their problems is a ghost town (19) Lotus Emira Problems and Issues | Lotus Emira Forum as well as Harry's pretty extensive coverage.

Here is mine, uncleaned since I drove it back from Hethel to Fife a couple of weeks ago, and it's not missed a beat. I love it, mostly the fact that is drives undoubtedly like a Lotus (I also have an Evora 410) but just takes it to a new level in terms of usability and practicality. The drive back back was superb, with wireless carplay, heated seats, good stereo, really comfortable, but as soon as I got closer to home and on to the A roads, even in sub zero temps (I do have the Goodyears but on Sports suspension) it really felt close to my Evora. It's a little softer all round yes (pedal feel, suspension, response, noise) but we are talking small amounts, and all in a good way in terms of just using it more. I think the biggest takeaway is just how much I use it on a day to day basis, even with the shitty weather we have been having. No way I do that with the Evora. I've not had any of the issues that have been 'reported' and as usual I'm sure they may have been some, but no doubt these are more vocally discussed whilst typically the majority are silent if they have no issues to discuss! Is there anything I would change on the car? Honestly nothing springs to mind. I would still advise people to test drive an Evora if they want something that's more sporty and a weekend only warrior, they could be great value against an Emira, and for that reason I will keep mine, but the Emira delivers 85% of the experience but you will get so much more use out if it imho.
