Popular Post Welshwiseguy Posted January 19 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted January 19 The Hunts is over. Healthcheck complete and only the usual advisories came up to was happy to proceed. (Slight front ARB play and boot struts weak) Just need to sort out picking it up or getting it collected. Still haven’t seen it in the flesh but current and previous owners seem excellent. 🧐 Previous owner was on here before and gave me some great history and ownership details so a big thanks to him. looking forward to wrapping it up in the garage and polishing it on weekends till the summer (don’t judge me 😂) 18 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM C8RKH Posted January 21 Gold FFM Report Share Posted January 21 The "black bits" were brought in as a special edition Evora, the Sports Racer. It was optioned with all the "packs" (tech, sport etc) and the Premium Sport seat trims (leather, carbon leather weave, contract piping) and sold "cheaper" than buying a standard Evora and fully loading all the options (Lotus did something similar with the 400 called the Hethel Edition). It came with the black painted roof, lower sills, wing mirrors etc. It was a great value package at the time and available on NA and S models. 1 Quote Alcohol. Sex. Tobacco. Drugs. Chocolate. Meh!

Popular Post tim_marra Posted January 21 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 21 Some folks (me included) spec'd some of the 'black pack' before the SR was announced. I collected mine in Sept '12 around the time the SR became available. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

electro_boy Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Congrats to @Welshwiseguy car looks great! I was never that bothered about red callipers before but now I'm seeing them in the photos above I wish I had some now, they look goooood! Although my car is burnt orange so not sure if it would clash or look good? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayevora Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Beautiful. And welcome to Sports Racer Club. Enjoy 👍😁 1 Quote Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk - that will teach us to keep mouth shut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Welshwiseguy Posted January 21 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted January 21 Thanks all. I’m extremely excited to pick it up (or have it delivered). Constantly looking at options for our first weekend away in it and we’ve planned 10 days to do the North Coast 500 in June so I think I have the weapon of choice for these trips. For now I’ll settle for polishing it, getting a Ctek hook up and power flex ARBs orders. Missed having something to tinker with so this should keep me busy on days off rather than watching Netflix 😂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Welshwiseguy Posted January 26 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted January 26 Well she’s arrived home after being collected by the transport company yesterday. The Mrs just sent me this image (I’ve still not seen it 🤦) can’t wait to have a day off to take it for a little spin. 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerzybondov Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 Where did you find that beauty? Pretty sure I didn't see her crop up in the classifieds! Also, is it an S Sports Racer with a venom red interior? Looks like it might be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, is it an S Sports Racer with a venom red interior? Looks like it might be. Found it on Autotrader privately. Previous owner (before this seller) was a forum member and I had a great chat to him about the car. I’ve not driven it yet so looking forward to a spin but lockdown and rain/snow may put the blockers on that for a while. It’s low on fuel so may fuel it on Thursday and tuck it up for a few months then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
