Should be cheap with that colour combo and mileage.

[BertBert]

Yes, the colour combo is a bit odd! Mileage looks like it's been properly used to me, but yes may affect value. I predict that it won't reach reserve.

I quite like the colour combo to be honest. Would look better with green exterior but I'm certainly not offended by it.

Agreed, it’s the red with red interior I struggle with.

I quite like a tan interior, but not sure it works all that well with a red exterior!

[SFTWend]

I know it's personal taste but black pack cars work best with the alcantara interior imo.

I wonder how the seller answers the 'what issues has it had' question.

FP will be best placed to opine on price, but suggest the seller should snatch any bid over 50 given the commission that will be added. Mileage and colour combo are against it given what you can buy for 60.

Interesting comparison from earlier this year

I have a magma with ice white leather interior, I'm still made up with my choice and think it looks stunning BUT I had a courtesy car which was magma with a red interior and I thought it looked awful. Each to their own I suppose.

[BertBert]

And to be clear here, the CC emira here is not red with red!

[edoverheels]

I sat in a red one with a red interior at B&C and despite myself I found that I really liked it.

Highest bid is terrible mind you thats huge mileage for an Emira,lol.

Thanks for the link Bert , i missed that one.

[Honeywell]

I just bid on it.

[cayman-black]

Good luck Honeywell.

[croyde]

I thought you guys meant a proper red interior, but it's a kind of tan/orange. I quite like it

I'm a recent Alpine owner, thought the Emira would be beyond my budget. Interested to see what this one goes for..

Good luck Honeywell.

Surprised that with 400bhp that it's just 0.2s faster to 60 than the 250bhp Alpine.

The 'tan' leather on the Emira is more like an orangy terracotta and is a bit clashy against both the Magma Red and Seneca blue tbh. Goes best with the Nimbus, DV and 'Dark Grey.'

On the Lotus configurator there were various colour combos which could be ordered new but were not recommended by Lotus .....from memory these two were not but as ever each to their own.

[edoverheels]

I had thought that Magma red was the best colour but I came out of a restaurant this afternoon and a dark green one was parked immediately outside against the pavement. It had silver wheels and looked absolutely fantastic out in the real world.
It was a family meal and my three sons (24-30) who are pretty disinterested in cars all commented about how great it looked and couldn’t believe that it’s probably going to be the next car that I buy.
They have never taken any interest in any other cars.

Today's the day. Currently at £53k+7.2% fees=£56,816. And no reserve.

[AB]

Good luck Honeywell.

[Honeywell]

I'm out at 55K.
