  1. There are few different types available, the origins and of all this SAAB ones from reading are best. The Book says extend the plunger 5 clicks but 400 was 7. l so keep a spare in the glove box
  2. I agree with you, the Evora is very underrated.
  3. Shame it's In the UK. I'm in AUSTRALIA you could borrow my 400.
  4. I wear polarised sunglasses for various optical problems. My Evora 400 side info screens are effectively blank when I wear my sunglasses LED side screen are blank. I have put up with this without wearing sunglasses and I finally decided to see if I can sort it. Turns out polarised film held at 45degrees or 90 degrees to the screen cancels out by 95% the blanking. I bought some film and after much mucking around with templates etc cut some to fit. I didn't bond them on however there is a little flex in the screen to allow the film to just tuck under and stay in place. Result magic The first picture is the polarised sheet held up to get the best orientation The second is the film stalled on the right but not on the left. I have also put some film in the central speedo ( very Fiddly Job)

  6. I am sure some one else has done this but I thought it worth a discussion. The three Digital displace are blank when wearing polarized sunglasses, I have today found that the polarized effect can be canceled by putting another polarized screen over the displays at 45 degrees.
  7. I do a physio sports exercise class early in the morning and I took the Evora as I go to coffee with with some other retired car guys, As I got out of the car, An elderly lady with very dark glasses and her guide dog stopped and looked(?) at the car for some time. one of the oddest experiences I have had with the car
  8. I have a feeling the next roadster will be a totally new electric something. The EMIRA Tub isn't as stiff as the EVORA so a roadster version will need another tub revision. LOTUS Focus at this point in time is the SUV and the small versions , but who knows as the world wakes up the EV travesty lets wait and see. Off topic, I see Geely have a announced a Joint partnership withe other manufacturers to produce ultra high efficient small engines for the auto industry
  9. Having been to factory as I am sure other's have, The EMIRA is a development of the 410 in particular, there are lots of differences Tub, Wheels, Supercharger and seats( which are the same frames as Ferrari use) and the updated interior which I actually don't like, with a focus on the mas market. and that "appears" to be a success. However what I took from this comparison is the EVORA is just that much more "alive" than the EMIRA. But I am sure there will be variants in the pipeline, Stripped out lighter manual seats and more HP , but I'll still have the EVORA
  10. Interesting comparison. I also posted this in the Emira section.

  12. Australian car sales 2 Evora’s . 8 Emira’s some new, some speculative
