Hi all, thought it was time I registered rather than just lurking & I was surprised when I discovered I’ve been a member since 2008!

Welcome and I note you have posted on the South Coast Pistonheads, I'm sure you have read that there is a meeting tonight at the Empress of Blandings SO40 2PE if I remember rightly people start to turn up about 7. There is another Evora the same colour turning up tonight as well can you make it?

That's the car I took to Frankfurt and back in a day, incredibly fast and sure footed on the Autobahns. I'm very jealous of you!

Welcome back to TLF Kieron.
All we know is that when they stop making this, we will be properly, properly sad.Jeremy Clarkson on the Esprit.

Ah, thought I recognised the username when I posted on one of your threads in the Evora section. I also used to own an M100 Elan and remember your pistachio one from an event at Hethel a few years ago, as well as your being on LEC.
I heard that you felt a bit misled by the seller about the history of your Evora. Hope that's all settled now but if not I have some info from my previous enquiry to them about the car that might be of use to you - PM me if you need it.

oooh interesting, I will pm you. However just for clarity (in case the seller is viewing this, I’m pretty sure I’ve not used the word misled, I think that may be a bit of Chinese whispers!!! There was some info about the car I found out via this forum rather than from them which I was a bit disappointed about & was surprised they weren’t aware of. It wasn’t anything major & certainly nothing that put me off buying the car
