DaveAngel Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 Afternoon all, Just wondered if anyone was thinking of selling one of the above? Not too worried about mileage or modifications but must be an IPS model with my dodgy knee… Alternatively if the previous owner of the red one for sale in Kent is on here I would appreciate some extra history if possible? Best regards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim_marra Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 There is a black one on Pistonheads for £38K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveAngel Posted October 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 Thanks for the reply - I have been in contact with Silverstone Lotus about this one and reached out to the previous owner on here. Just seeing what else is available before I take the plunge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ba55uma Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 There is a Evora S Sport racer IPS on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/591980748824046/?ref=facebook_story_shareq And a NA sports racer IPS on seloc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveAngel Posted October 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 Thanks for the reply - had not seen those… unfortunately silver, grey and white seem to be colours I have a thing against for some reason. I think ideally I would prefer something brighter? Of course with not many available I may not have a choice!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ba55uma Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 I know.. I too prefer brighter colours. I have a black beemer at home and it's an absolute pain in the back to keep it clean. Silver and grey ones are easy to keep clean, but they look a bit dull. But seeing one in flesh might change my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanky3 Posted November 1, 2021 Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 I have a carbon grey S IPS (sadly/gladly not for sale) and felt the same about colours when I was buying. I really wanted yellow but quite liked the stealth look of mine when I saw it - see profile pic. At car shows I sometimes wish I'd held out for yellow but the rest of the time I'm glad to have a car that attracts attention...but not too much attention.

Gold FFM jep Posted November 1, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 Carbon Grey is a fab colour and the choice of the Lotus Design team as a favourite for their special silhouette that is Evora Justin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r3nault Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 If gearbox choice is because of your knee, might you be better with a 400 IPS? S1 entry / egress might prove an issue in the long term too… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gold one on the special Swiss beats edition is something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdm2018 Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 I wonder if you are looking at 400 IPs cars as to ease knee conditions are you almost going close to in relative terms the new Emira ? The Emira definitely has better egress than Evora and comes in ips or dct options ? I know money is major factor but could be option?

S1 entry / egress might prove an issue in the long term too… At the moment access seems okay - certainly better than my Elise! Could be a factor more long term and I have looked at the 400 with possibly better performance, particularly from the auto box software/changes…. On the other hand, is a fair but more cash which also brings closer to a new Emira……. 2 hours ago, Cdm2018 said: I wonder if you are looking at 400 IPs cars as to ease knee conditions are you almost going close to in relative terms the new Emira ?

It depends which knee too, it’s the right knee which gets a work out getting in and out for a RHD Evora. I’m guessing it might be your left knee which should be easier. Emira wouldn’t work for me as I need a 2+2, but one thing in the Evora’s favour is rarity! In Australia, more Ferraris are sold than Lotus (all models), and I think more Porsches in a month than Lotus in a year! I love the fact I’m driving something so rare. Emiras may prove too common in time, perhaps. The other week in Melbourne CBD, I was pointing out a car to my toddler… guy in a Boxster thought he was pretty cool… no mate, that’s about the ninth Boxster / Cayman we’ve seen today… it’s the ultra rare Lamborghini Espada behind you that’s caught my attention!

DaveAngel Posted November 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Yep the left knee is knackered so access seems easier. Fortunately 2+2 is fine as the sons are old and adolescent enough to not actually want to be seen with me anywhere!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdm2018 Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 I have a poor left knee and wear a knee support , I play footy twice a week on Astro and this doesn’t do my knee any favours i struggle with my clutch using my left knee getting in and out not too bad but my back suffers more I think waiting and save up for Emira could be solution but Evora is now going to be super rare however I don’t think Emira will be as common as Porsche ? Time will tell I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
