Lotus Emira V6 First Edition

This is a 2024 Lotus Emira First Edition with the 3.5-litre V6 and the open-gate six-speed manual gearbox, a combination that makes it one of the more engaging mid-engined sports cars of its era. It produces 398 bhp and 420 Nm, with a quoted 0-62mph time of 4.3 seconds and a top speed of 180mph.

The spec is well chosen for driving. It has the Sport suspension with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres, forged 20-inch wheels, the Black Pack and the Lotus Drivers Pack. It is finished in Dark Verdant green with black Nappa leather and Alcantara trim, and also has a KEF audio system and a Scorpion tracker.

It has covered 11,500 miles and has had two previous keepers. The dealer says it has just arrived and is going through its preparation, which includes a health check, servicing and a minimum of six months' MOT, so full photos and a detailed description are still to come.
