Popular Post Timbo999 Posted July 4, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 4, 2021 Hi As an Elise S2 owner for 15 years (gone now, but never forgotten) I've joined the forum to ramp up my excitement as I put down a deposit on an Emira with B&C a month ago. If the Emira has anything like the ride/handling balance of the Elise and I can get in and out with some ease I'm certain to go for it. For me, ease means that the seat base is higher (or at least level with!) the top of the sill and, as I have short legs, I can get out without moving the seat back. If I can have Ruby Red and black wheels, so much the better! Here's hoping. Timbo. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibs Posted July 4, 2021 Report Share Posted July 4, 2021 Welcome Timbo and congrats on getting an deposit down, big day on Tuesday for you then! Both my Elise's were Ruby Red, lovely colour on the car. 1 Quote 88 Esprit NA, 89 Esprit Turbo SE, Evora, Evora S, Evora IPS, Evora S IPS, Evora S IPS SR, Evora 400, Elise S1, Elise S1 111s, Evora GT410 Sport Evora NA For forum issues, please contact the Moderators.

jep Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 Emira will be all that and more from the little I hear. If they can price it right, it should go beyond the usual lunatic fringe. Justin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timbo999 Posted July 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 Thanks for the welcome! I bought my Elise from Frosts in Shoreham (when it was opposite Sussex Yacht Club, if anybody knows the area) but they appear to be long gone as Lotus dealers, so B&C are now my nearest dealers which is no hardship given their reputation. I saw the Elise S2 at the London Motorshow (remember that?) in October '00, ordered mine in Jan '01 and it arrived in on 1st May '01. I suspect the Emira timescales will be a little more extended!
