As much as I love the latest Evora, be 400, 410 and especially 430 its hard to improve of a side profile picture than this one, simply stunning even Ferrari would struggle to match that ❤️ 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdavies Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 (edited) Scotty, saw your photo and dashed out to check mine was still in my garage -- relief! Marvellous photo and I'm thinking it may look so good because of the strict rectangularity of the Scottish architecture standing squarely behind it. (Yes, I'm sticking with rectangularity and squarely....) Re prices mentioned above, I was recently speaking to an expert very well placed to know and he believes that for desirable S SR's (e.g. carbon grey, hurrah!) prices have about bottomed and the demand is such they could be on the turn. (We were talking manuals, which seems historically to be the "Lotus norm" for the majority - I do notice a couple of ISPs on PH) Certainly mine never hit a forecourt as I had a standing order in place. A letter from the Lotus archivist tells me that a total of only 8 Evora S Sports Racer models in Carbon Grey were made. Perhaps some of the other 6 owners will put their hands up here.

mik Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 I wanted a manual 'charged SR in either carbon or white : took 5months before an appropriate car appeared. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul, I might have misunderstood your comment, but in case it means what I think, I've doubled the landmines, and a plain S is being sprayed up now to leave as a decoy outside...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBG Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 That grey evora side profile looks fantastic. Could I ask if the car is lowered at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astirling Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Thank you! Nope - suspension is standard. I’ve made a few small changes - black and silver badges all round, Alcantara trimmed steering wheel, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto head unit - but mechanically standard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBG Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) Looks awesome mate. Definitely sits better on its rims than mine. Mine does have the 18/19 forged rims though, so the tyres are a bit smaller. Hoping to upgrade in the coming months. Def the best looking grey evora I have seen 👍🏼 Edited July 9, 2018 by DBG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Richviney Posted July 9, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Hi all, I joined the sports racer club today! I picked up this 2014 NA this morning and loving it so far. I have been driving an Elise S for the past 4 years but having a 3 year old and 6 year old means I need some rear seats. I guess I need to start reading all the old threads on which car seats fit the best.... I have been looking for a while and found all the info on here really useful so finally pleased to have joined the club! cheers Rich 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trcm Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 That is very true Bibs! i didn't realise it was trade originally, I guess the dealer will have plopped at least £5k on top. Here's to a future classic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim_marra Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Hmm, I thought the SR's were a rare beast even compared to my MY12 S. However having now studied this thread it appears the SR is in fact as common as muck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty unique Evora. And £20k under the price of the 'replacement' 400! The SR has it covered, Lotus 'ran out' the S1 in style! 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
