[TomE]

Yes, including importantly the final production seats and a never-seen-before First Edition badge on the dashboard.  Top right in this pic:

I think we’re gonna need a bigger transporter for this job! Thinking of something more like this…..😉👍

Great to see them appearing at dealerships though😎

The Lotus retailer in Suzhou in Jiangsu province in China have a?blue one, but it has no engine or gear box

Perfect for the EV drop in

Some shortage of parts supply for that car.

Hendy Exeter seem to be thinking around 3rd week September for their 2.

Definitely one in Monaco, this was just being taken out for a test drive when I arrived...

Not sure about the go faster stripes 🤔

Verdant and Seneca blue will be in our showroom in Sussex. Blue is supposed to be the demo but it may change. But rumour is still towards middle/end of this month!!

[TomE]

Still “soon” then JB!

[JB]

Yep still soon! But sooner than it was when it was ‘soonish’ and nearer than ‘won’t be long’

[exeterjeep]

So are you getting 1 with sports suspension and 1 with touring?

[JB]

Yes I believe so but only one is a demonstrator at a time.

Looks good in full daylight in that hot Italian sun 👍 Might not look as good on a dreary day in Inverness when it's pi$$ing down

[mneil]

Saw a DV at loton park early August and you are correct, in our summer light it looked black and MOST in inspiring! Oh, it was a sunny day for the UK.

Was glad I cancelled DV after seeing one in the flesh.

Been in Hendy, think the car/colours they ordered may not be the ones they will actually get, they are being switched around a bit. Can't be long before the early deposit holders get contacted for their test drives by Lotus

[JB]

Early customers have been invited to check out so won't be long.

Yes seems cars are getting switched up. Our showroom car is now a demo and think that is across the network. Not sure when a showroom car would arrive but hey at least we'll have something for customers to go out in not just look at!!

[Emiralust]

Has anybody been contacted by Bell & Colvill yet?

[Bibs]

I believe initial test drives are being arranged directly by Lotus. 

[exeterjeep]

Lets hope that if the factory have started actual booking for test drives at the retailers, (that aren't actually on the premises yet) that the cars actually get delivered etc in time. Hope Lotus don't have to start cancelling ones that they have arranged because the car has not yet been delivered.
