They don't seem to be moving, the market may have lost a lot of its positivity.

I was offered the chance to make changes before being locked in so he's not alone in that, although I am not a YouTube star 😉

It was a pleasant surprise, I think our postcode must be in their good books

Helps being ancient sometimes

Admiral multicar, £360 is my first premium which will be 300 days if Lotus deliver on schedule... 🤔 62yr old, full ncb, garaged, gods own country 🙂

Very good experience, I drove the Hethel Yellow touring and Dark Verdant sporting cars. Nowhere near long enough for a full understanding of the capabilities but impressive all the same. It has given me reason to question my choice of Magma Red as a couple of colours really look good. Have a great time, it's well worth it 👍

About time this was updated

It's on! Hannah and Stewart have confirmed the Taste of Lotus is going ahead on Saturday 23rd July, I feel privileged to be on one of the first events, they even have a car with my specification to try 😄

I will be calling Hethel on Monday as the cut-off for my hotel is 19th & will update afterwards.

I am due to drive the Emira on July 23rd and they haven't said it's cancelled, honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if it is scrubbed, communication is something they still seem to have difficulty with. I have a local hotel booked and an eight hour slog to take the drive so I would prefer to avoid a wasted journey.

I so HOPE so, tunnels will never be the same 😎

I am not worried about the smoke but I want a switch to make mine sound like that 😎

Ooh that red, so chuffed with my choice

A fair and honest appraisal by CH

The rubber weather seal? If so, it probably seems larger on lighter colours, less noticeable on green/grey or even red

I take it that is just UK deliveries as less than fifty a week seems very slow

That's not quite how just in time works, items need to be delivered to the production point in a suitable time frame, they will be shipped in larger quantities to the production plant. The slightest hiccup can be problematic however. From my conversation with Lotus, my opinion is they wanted me to do them the favour of taking a car they didn't have a buyer for, it also seemed I would be paying a premium for extras I didn't want. They would have had a better response by either swapping the components, in my case it was sports suspension, or offering an incentive to help them out of a pickle. Maybe the next person in line will have been more open to accepting a change in specification but there needs to be some flexibility on cars that haven't even been built.

Had a call today with the chance of an earlier delivery, specification is similar apart from this car has sports suspension, tracker and no privacy glass. Sadly we will have to pass up on the option, our car should arrive in November and this offer was probably September. We have a long delayed trip around Europe for most of September and a Northumberland driving week shortly after, so in reality, we won't be able to take delivery until mid October at the earliest, now, if it had been July...

Personally delivery timing is not too bad, a friend has a Boxster on order, he may well have waited as long as me for delivery by the time it arrives, maybe longer as he hasn't a date yet and I have 🤔

We drive our cars too much to have something this dark, full time cleaner required 😉

And still no official photos... 🤔

Glad I didn't sell anything in preparation for this, Late Out Turned Unsurprisingly Shambolic

Beat me to it £71.995 for the I4 in the same configuration as my V6

A job to distinguish drive on my phone but I do a fair bit of continental driving in my sports cars so it could be useful 😉

I actually like Magma red here, that spec on the robocart could be my car, but not likely 🙃
