Do you own a 400?

I'm trying to work out how many people on this forum own a 400 and whether they would be interested in attending some kind of gathering to help raise awareness. I was getting pretty bored of the standard comments from some on various forums challenging "who would actually buy one?" and "why doesn't Lotus improve their marketing strategy?" I wanted to see whether we could do something about it ourselves.

Interestingly your name came up in conversation today, was on the phone to Jamie at B&C.

I'd love to give him some cash for a 400, we'll see.

Highlighting pretty much what you've said.

how many meets I've attended with my current Evora and not yet seen a 400 on road or track.

Lotus should be looking at seed cars or "special customer" deals if they commit to attending meets/shows/track days etc.

in return for a £10k Lotus contribution to my 400 I would..... :lol:

So that's why you spent 20mins on the phone with each of 2 dealers today :lol::lol:

The outcome will determine the level of your persuasion skills :cry:

Apart from the fact it has those bloody Lotus letters on the dashboard!  Arrggghhhh!  I looked at that on MMC's website and thought hmmmmmmm.......

I came into this world screaming and covered in someone elses blood. I'll probably leave it in the same way.

Haven't yet seen an Evora 400 live.  US dealers still waiting to get them.  Anyone have one (and in what color combo)?  If so, what do you think about it?  Appears to be amazing.

Congratulations Colin. :)

All we know is that when they stop making this, we will be properly, properly sad.Jeremy Clarkson on the Esprit.

I own one - it is immense! Anything specific you want to know, drop me a message. Very happy to help if I can. There's also a section on reviews from various sources on this forum. In summary though, it looks amazing sounds even better, drives amazing, and is proving practical as a daily driver for my wife and two small children.

We love it. 3,300 miles in after 2.5 months.
