The two-day event included VIP access to parts of both factories not usually available, a rare treat of being able to take a camera on site and time with senior staff including Q&A sessions. This presented an excellent opportunity for … [Read more...]

Again the Scots (who seem to own nearly every Evora built so far) have the picture of the month in the bag. Perhaps those cold winter nights lead to more time to plan on getting a good snap when the opportunity arises or perhaps it's just that they've got some stunning scenery. This month, Justin King, 24, from Aberdeen is our POTM winner! Thanks Justin. I bought the Evora from Graeme Robertson at MMC in Edinburgh.  He was a joy to deal with, in fact he was part of the reason I went to Lotus for my new 'toy' as he had previously sold me an Exige.  I had tried … [Read more...]

This months picture was taken by Brian King who took this amazing snap of his new Solar Yellow Evora juxtaposed with the Aquamarine Launch Edition Evora of TLF member Al. on a forum day out in Scotland. Which colour would you have? A hard choice! Brian will admit after a dram or two that he does have the ultimate number plate if he were a Lotus Racing F1 driver, a job he's hoping to secure by buying more and more Lotus cars! Unsubstantiated rumour has it that actual Lotus Racing F1 driver Jarno Trulli tried to chase him down to secure the plate for his company car, … [Read more...]
