Gold FFM C8RKH Posted December 20, 2017 Gold FFM Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Both the blue and the green are stunning. Congratulations gents. Now, need someone to buy an Ardent red one and get some pictures up regularly please..... Quote I came into this world screaming and covered in someone elses blood. I'll probably leave it in the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephenwhyte Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Absolutely brutally beautiful Jonny - congratulations! You’re going to enjoy owning that work of art! Love this angle as it shows just how much is going on with this car......but let’s face it, we all love every angle! Lotus really are working at their very best these days! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pits Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 There was an Ardent Red car that ended up in Spain I believe. Annoyingly good looking. So much so you immediately have to question the point of paying more for paint. Just had to check the garage. Yup, there’s still a GT430 in there!!! It’s all very surreal but it’s a good sign that I might not be dreaming! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevsked Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Yep. Guess I'll be finding out how good my PPF is on track following the two rear cannons you've got there. Trevor. 1 Quote I'll get around to it at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post The Pits Posted December 20, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Have to say the emotional connection is pretty instant when you see a car realized to your exact requirements. These include bespoke and unique seat trim, stitching, MSG paint, phantom black wing mirror covers and a black supercharger cover. The downside being that it's already totally irreplaceable! There is so much PPF on it, even the Lotus script and rear GT430 badge are entombed beneath it, mummified and preserved! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The birds eye view in your garage provides another great angle to enjoy it. Certainly a once in a lifetime experience to own something so unique.

MesTCS Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Jonny, Gutted you've picked it up. Dropped my car off at B&C the other day and spent a while perving at it. Was hoping it would still be there for another look on Saturday! Gutted. Stunning STUNNING car mate. I can imagine how utterly thrilled you are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pits Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 It’s quite ridiculous isn’t it, as Anthony’s pics show well. Looks suitably out of place in the real world! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal H Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Lotus have got it absolutely spot on with the Evora GT430. I know I'm a Lotus fan-boy, but I genuinely can't think of better looking car currently on sale. It's dynamic brilliance is a bonus! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arun_D Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Congratulations to all of you in this thread where Christmas has come early. These GT430s looks fantastic. It's not difficult for my head to slip into a mental Car Configurator mode for me to conjure up my ideal spec for one of these. Currently thinking Toxic Green and silver or anthracite wheels would look marvellous. Carbon seats and probably full aero spec because 'why not?!' 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pits Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Totally the case Andy, I photoshopped just about every colour imaginable and they all looked great in their own way. I believe we'll see a Lotus Carlton (Imperial Green) one and a purple one before long. You just know they're going to look great. Strangely though I think black wasn't the best. It looks hard as nails whatever you paint it, doesn't really need to be any more sinister! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post scotty435 Posted December 21, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Amazing pictures, what a fantastic car, so envious of you. Where have all the doubters gone when Lotus first announced this car so happy they have been proved wrong. What a great year lotus have gave us and especially you and all the other 430 owners, no that's wrong, what a great year for all new Lotus ownership no matter which model.Can not wait what the company brings us next year and more so in the next few years. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4rk Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Well said, I couldn't agree more and with Geely's investment things can only get better. I continue to be amazed at what Lotus' talent has been able to produce on what is, in reality, a shoe string budget. What will they produce in 2018 to inspire us! Incidentally, I saw a purple GT430 at Silverstone which looked great too, would not be my first choice but looked good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post The Pits Posted December 21, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 The paradox of the car industry is that the fewer people involved, the more interesting the car. Same applies to films, music, food, pretty much everything. One man’s vision usually beats a committee’s argument! Providing of course that the man is good at his job. Russell Carr knocked it out of the park with the GT430! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
