I'm also sorry your experience has been so bad. I've always posted that Lotus need to up their quality control. It seems they have a long way to go. The paint blisters are really concerning imo.

Definitely one of the better looking 430 Cup. Good luck with it Mitch I hope it does well.

Hi auRouge, I never got to see the car in the flesh but the pictures with the white Esprit were stunning. Not many 430 Cup cars float my boat but a few look really fantastic. They are very desirable in that imo they are the very pinnacle of what Lotus did.

I made a casual enquiry about that white 430 Cup. Truly stunning car. I wonder where it went.
-
That Empire green GT430 looks terrific. The GT430s and 430 Cup Exiges are holding strong money. As said, the apex cars of their models.
-
That's strong money for the 430 Cup. It's more than it was advertised for.
-
Great colour with silver wheels. Very nice indeed.

Nice 430 Cup just come up for sale on PH. Vivid green final edition with only 132 miles. £110k all but a few quid.
-
Sorry I can't attach a link but Silverstone Lotus have an Evora GT430 advertised. It's metallic grey at £100k.
-
I love the LF1. And I agree the harnesses do not add any appeal. Very strong money but I honestly think that is the direction the S3s will be going. Its expensive for now though.

They had to stick Lotus on the side because no one would have had a bloody clue what it was. I fear for Lotus I really do.
-
As good as any Porsche may be they lack any wow factor imo. Their success unfortunately removed the exclusivity of the brand.

I've only just read this so I'm late to the party. Thanks for posting. It is important for us to read bad experiences as well as good. The garage sounds like a good company to deal with. I don't think they could have been much fairer. The salesman you dealt with sounds brilliant. Good on him. I'm glad you are happy with the outcome. I would never buy any car without giving it a full inspection first. Especially this type of car. Alls well that ends well.

Only 29 Exige V6s for sale on PH yesterday. Great news.

And Cigars😉
High end watches are an excellent investment apparently. Not my thing at all. Interesting pawn shop programme on TV the other day. A guy had bought a dozen or so Rolex watches in the previous 6 years at a cost of £262k. He was offered £565k for the collection by a pawn broker. Sorry for the thread drift.

I've been using my car weekly and with regular use the problem never came back. After 2 and a half weeks sat in my garage I pulled the car out to my drive and the light came on. No issues with power. I did 40 miles with the light on. I switched the engine off and back on 2 minutes later and the light cleared itself and never came back on. Sticky switch that needs lubrication on my car. I hope.

I've never used mine in bad weather or any wet roads. I try to get it out once a month for a minimum of 20 miles on only the driest and salt free roads. I sometimes drive the route in my daily driver just prior to taking it out. Sad I know but being retired it passes some time.
-
Really enjoyed your enthusiasm. The car looks great in yellow and black. Great video.

Does the car make that noise when the revs are applied. I understand your concern and I would be the same as you. However it is under warranty till 2024, and your concern has been lodged with Lotus, so enjoy the car. Just make sure you stick to the correct service schedule so if something does go wrong out of warranty then you have a strong case. It might ge worth putting a note on the Evora site.

The 1st time it happened to me I switched the engine off counted to 10 and switched it back on. TC light went out and I switched the race button on. It never came back and hasn't done so while in race mode.

Looking awesome. I wonder if the vents on the front clam is factory, or is it an aftermarket piece?

If its a genuine 380 Cup then the vents are from the factory. Very nice in that colour.

Pumping the brake pedal a few times quickly cleared the issue for me.
If buying a replacement switch I'd recommend getting a genuine one (about £60). There are a few people selling generic replacements for ~£30, I know at least two that didn't work properly.
What fault code reader did you use? Mine didn't show anything even when the TC & Spanner lights were lit.
At the risk of sounding flippant and I'm not intending to be. I think Lotus have fitted a large number of useless brake switches at the factory judging by the quantity that are failing with not a lot of use. It'll be interesting to see how many Emira owners suffer the same problem.
-
I spoke to an ex Elise 220 Cup owner yesterday. He said he had the same problem with his Elise. He said he put WD40 on the switch which he reckons cured the problem. He said the brake switch was sticking. No idea if that is correct just what he said.
