Lotus Emira

Nice to see Tiff showing off his first race car (even if it clearly has a whiff of Trigger's Broom).

I'm still dumbfounded about how much they are to buy new.

£117k (as specced here) is insane, near £15k more than a base 911.

I've only just watched this, suprised it seems to be Tiff's own car.

He gives that impression, but I don’t think it is - have seen the same car being used by others

But he says at various points "I paid X for <option>" - some on SELOC reckon it's just some strange first-person presentation style, but seems odd if it is.

Yeah I had the same response, but I think they are right. Unless he loaned it to this dude for a test too….?

Might have. No idea who that fella is, and he's the only one I can find who's driven it after a search on the plate...

Note his YT video also references him driving the car in the Summer, and he also posted about the perfect 2 car garage here in January.

I still blows my mind that Geely didn't go through Lotus like a dose of proverbial and sort it tf out.

Economies of scale will stomp on you all day long unless you're at the very very boutiquest end of the market.

I considered this car too expensive at circa £75k when the first edition came out, back when the quality issues were still unknown it looked poor value compared to a cayman. An inflation busting nigh on 50% rise is insane.
