Popular Post PunyGod Posted July 24, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 So after three and a half years of owning an S2 K-series Elise, i decided it was time to cut my losses and move on In those three years ive had many issues from head gasket failure (twice), a hole in the radiator, brakes seizing, battery dying and even the engine not igniting on startup I had a few replacements in mind..Jaguar F Type, Ford Mustang 5L V8 or staying within the Lotus community. I will admit i was so close to walking away from Lotus until this beauty showed up on the works intranet one day. So i enquired and within a week the deal was done 2011, 32k miles, Tech pack, Sports Pack, Premium Pack, Titanium Tipped Stage 1 Lotus Exhaust, Upgraded Alpine units and the 2012MY dash ...and what a difference it is The power, the comfortability and even the smoothness. Its completely own league compared to the Elise and even many standard cars. The sheer power from the 3.5L V6 (Sports mode on or off) makes it great to drive on the country roads and noisy in the town while taking the corners at maximum speed with little effort Ive put on about a thousand miles in around two weeks and what i can definately say is i will not be getting bored of this anytime soon 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Techyd Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Superb - and is that a tan interior I can see as well? Very smart 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruss Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Well done for sticking with Lotus. The Evora continues to be so under evaluated. It is sooo refined compared to the Elise platform, but still has all the feel of the Elise. Nice looking car. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricvx Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Good work. Is that Dave's old car @PunyGod? Used to see it kicking around the south side of Glasgow. It's a head turner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jep Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Carbon grey with cocobolo interior? A mirror of my Evora, though I have different wheels and no black out areas. Stonking cars, total bargains. You were unlucky with your Elise. I have thrashed a fair few K Series engines and never had head gasket failure. My VHPD is 40,000 miles and still all as it left Hethel. Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p4cks Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 That's a beaut! If you can't live with the brown interior (personally I couldn't on mine) it's fairly simple and relatively cheap to change to another colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
