    One of the most beautiful places in Australia. Not to mention the oysters…

    Steve I sighted a yellow Emira yesterday and IMO it looked fabulous. It's quite noticeably smaller than the McLaren/Ferrari/Lamborghini offerings which I found appealing.

    Completely agree - and the fact that it almost matches them for styling is a bonus given the robustness of the drivetrain.

    Ok, the Emira can't match the 296, a car I'm completely in enamoured with but its a fabulously looking car.

    One enigma I can't resolve its how the hell a C8 trades over a significant premium over its retail price but the Lotus doesn't.

    I gave this Emira some serious thought - I love metallic green over tan.

    Yeah. Run in and had oil / filter change a couple of weeks ago, so can now drive it properly.

    I’m genuinely thrilled with it. It’s better in every respect than I had hoped.

    It looks superb, drives beautifully, is comfortable, plenty fast enough for the road and everything actually works. :eek:

    Don’t get me wrong - I’d buy a 296 in a heartbeat if I could afford one, but do I really think it’d be 4 x better than the Emira (given it’s 4 x the price)?

    Not a chance.

    One of the best decisions I ever made was selling the 355 and getting this and a beach house in return.
