Rob, your time at Lotus was Elise S2/S3 era wasn’t it? So accurate

2012-2015 so S3 Exige S manual was nearly done by the time I arrived, then Roadster and IPS.
Evora 400 was the main job at that time.
There were a few months of Fuji Esprit before it totally died too.
All a bit hazy now...

You are all absolutely correct.

On a related note, the lci purple z4 has been quoted as bigger deposit and bigger monthly payments than the Emira. Z4 is a good car but no where near as special as the Lotus.

Did you order it yet? Come on hurry up!

If he'd have really wanted one, he would have ordered it by now.

Few more people collecting now. Looks great in Yellow:

i don't normally like yellow cars, but I think that's the best colour yet for them. I thought they looked a bit meh in blue/grey/black, but yellow looks fucking awesome to me.

Yellow does suit it rather well.

I didn’t watch all of this, but interesting to see all the current colour options together.

The all silver wheels are a million times nicer than the black/diamond cut ones too.

Richard has donned the hat of correctness in this thread.

The yellow makes it look like a proper mini supercar, and diamond cut wheels are a trend which is well overdue sodding off.

[Simon]

This is the correct spec. Everyone else is wrong.

That’s stunning in yellow.

Has nobody on here succumbed yet and put a deposit down!?

Soooo close. That with the full black pack would probably be my choice. Although the current palette is rather limited….

Vid is a year old now, but Frank Stephenson comments on what he'd have done differently....

[duncs500]

Needs Scandal Green. Failing that, yellow will do.

[mik]

Even with the overly fussy wheels, it looks great in white to me….

2,500 miles in a week is good going.

On the third display is that a Gallons Per Hour readout? I’ve only seen that on Volvos and plant machinery before - must be the Geely coming out.

Keen to see the vids. A couple of different pics on his twatter.

The VXR8 mpg display switched to gallons/hr when you weren’t moving. Big v8 idle at about 700rpm drank around 0.45 g/hr.
