Thanks to EvoraBob for the chat we had at Lotus in the Peaks. Then subsequently, looking at his posts on here. I decided to take the plunge and do the air intake upgrade. It was surprising easy (I'm no car expert) and straightforward to do. Just take your time. I did it all in a couple of hours. Below is a list of parts and prices. The total cost is about £130 max.

Hello, New member here but not to Lotus, owned them concurrently since 1984, mostly classic ones. Enjoy driving them more than primping them 😁1 point

Well I’ve taken delivery and now had the full detail, Xpel PPF and ceramic coating completed so almost ready to roll. It’s looking stunning so thought I’d post a few pictures. The guys did a fantastic job and really went to town bringing its best out. would just like some slightly warmer and drier weather so I can venture out on its maiden voyage without fear of coming a cropper on cold rubber, wet roads and lots of power.1 point

Thanks Bibs for a truly fantastic evening and day. It was absolute magic. (Just don't mention the *&^%$ safety brief £""!$). I'll message Bazza and suggest perhaps "Remember: Safety Brief" be written somewhere on a form, or alternatively, instruct the stewards, as we enter the enclosure in the morning, to remind each of us, for the benefit of first-timers. Was so looking forwards to that. Can't wait till next year now. I think the date is a perfect time of the year. With a turnout like that it obviously suits hundreds of people without getting in the way of summertime clashes. And two (or three?) years of brilliant weather! Met a lot of great people too, which is one thing I really loved ie chatting to people. I wanted to ask if there's a way to search for members on the forum. There doesn't seem to be. I've found a few people, but others (like your Navy guy in the Evora on the banking) are elusive. Thanks so much for having Mike Kimberley there. Dream come true. Overall, a million Thanks! (from Karen as well).1 point

Thanks Andy and thanks to all the team was a really enjoyable day, if a tad exhausting because as a newbie I foolishly signed up for everything and was sprinting from mbw to brooklands + vice versa but all worth it!!1 point

Hi John, just wanted to let you know I am now the owner of your Evora IPS. Purchased it last July from the chap you sold the car to. I wanted to purchase it from you when you first advertised it for sale but was waiting for a Liver Transplant at that time. Anyway that's water under the bridge and I now own it and I'm very happy with it. ive included a photo, you probably don't approve of the addition of the stripes but I just wanted something a bit different. Regards, Michael1 point
