Colin G 762 Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Is it weird that I get just as excited about other people buying Evora's on here as I was about buying my own? Best of luck Dave! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just sorting the finance - collect next week once a few niggles are fixed! .. please don't gazump me ;-) Do you know I was within a Gnat's Fanny of calling Chris at Westover and asking him for some figures before you posted up? I'm pretty happy with my car to be honest - but loved the colour and a newer car just tickled my fancy. Knock yourself out! Are you local-ish to Westover? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
62dave 86 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Cheers Colin! I am local to Westover - about a mile down the road! So my Evora search has basically taken me about 1 week and a 2 mile round trip! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neal H 874 Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Congratulations Daytona blue looks great - a proper sports car colour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Colin G 762 Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 I look forward to multiple photos convincing me I was wrong to pass over Daytona. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
62dave 86 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Many photos to follow!! Cheers for all the advice. Also - funny coincidence. I'd been texting a petrolhead friend of mine to share me excitement. It turns out he knew someone at Lotus he was going to suggest I chat to. Turns out the guy he knows is Martin Donnelly (former owner apparently!).. small world ey! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PaulCP 674 Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Congrats I think the colour really suits the car and was almost tempted by the one they had at MMC during the summer, until I saw the blue one that I ended up buying. Ironically, every Evora I've seen in this colour was an IPS version Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neal H 874 Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 I saw a 14 plate Daytona Blue Evora in Woodstock this morning. Even on a dull day it looked FANTASTIC! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Colin G 762 Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Wonder how Dave is getting on with this? Car isn't marked as sold yet........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
62dave 86 Posted December 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 I'm nearly there!! Just waiting on someone buying my current car before I commit to a low part ex price. Youre right though - it's still technically up for grabs! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Colin G 762 Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Is it the Elan you're trading Dave? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
62dave 86 Posted December 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Nah I'm keeping the Elan... I probably have about 10 grand in the Elan and wouldn't have thought it would be worth more than 3-4 PX. I'm part exchanging 2 cars!.. My BMW M135i and a Mercedes CLS 350. Long story how I ended up with both! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Colin G 762 Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Superb! Look forward to your first report. Isn't the M135i the one people are falling over themselves to buy? Not really up on my BMW's due to a now ingrained problem with German cars (having owned a few!) in my tiny brain........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
62dave 86 Posted December 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Yeah the m135i is really good and pretty popular. Unfortunately it's very easy to wander into a BMW dealer and get one new with a decent discount so selling privately has been slow going! I'm hoping I can flog it in the next few weeks while they prep the Evora Quote Link to post Share on other sites

62dave 86 Posted December 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Cheers guys! Extremely excited!! Funny you should mention the exhaust...
