Colin G 762 Report post Posted December 3, 2015 Thought it might be helpful to the people reading the forum hunting for one of these awesome cars if we had a thread linking to anything new that has come up for sale, such is the apparent demand for the good ones. Maybe it'll give folks a chance to get in there quicker for cars they might not have otherwise spotted. Saw this one appear yesterday which I like with the yellow roof, but seems highly priced in the market even with the low mileage - http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/lotus/evora/lotus-evora-s-sport-racer-345hp/4738339 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Colin G 762 Report post Posted December 14, 2015 Similarly, not listed yet but arriving at MMC this weekend is my '13 plate S SR IPS. Two owners but one was me for a month as I traded it in for the 400 and it will have under 8k miles by the time I get it handed over, depending on how long a route I take on the way there........

Colin G 762 Report post Posted January 13, 2016 Hadn't looked for a while with being away during the holidays and other stuff, but I see there's another 400 been listed at a ball hair under £70k brand new on Pistonheads. (At Hexagon) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Colin G 762 Report post Posted January 13, 2016 It had made its way to out front of the showroom when I collected the 400 from its service on Friday, they haven't listed it anywhere yet though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greido 4 Report post Posted January 17, 2016 @ Colin G - I'm pretty sure I saw your former Evora at Murrays this evening when I was passing, unfortunately it was covered in snow and so I couldn't see a price or info panel on it but it looked pretty awesome, it's still not on the Murray website which seems a little odd.

C8RKH 4,346 2 Vehicles Report post Posted January 17, 2016 I don't think many Evora's hang about - the ones that do are either priced wrong or have something dodgy in the description that makes you think hmmmm, what am I buying (think the yellow SC that was advertised as a sports racer, at sports racer money, but wasn't). Prices seem to be holding firm, even as mileage on the older cars is creeping up too. We may see like with the Elise that prices actually rise in a few years - spoke to an old colleague who has had a lovely white with blue stripes Elise from new since 2008 - he said his car is now actually rising in value. It's a beauty and he uses it to commute to. Quote Alcohol. Sex. Tobacco. Drugs. Chocolate. Meh! NOTHING in this world is as addictive as an Evora +0. It's not for babies!

Colin G 762 Report post Posted January 17, 2016 I don't think they were in any rush to list it with Brandon being in the US over the festive, but it's up on their site now, £47k. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greido 4 Report post Posted January 17, 2016 Looks good but I'm pretty sure this car was recently listed on the BCA Auction site which stated that it had a poor previous repair in it's appraisal, though the ad does state that it's HPI clear. The Colin Chapman signature sticker is something I've only seen on the car in the BCA photos which makes me think it's the same car, I'd be making sure I got a pretty thorough inspection on this before parting with any cash.

Stuno1 317 Report post Posted January 17, 2016 So maybe I was missing something. If it is a straight car that's a steal! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greido 4 Report post Posted January 17, 2016 It wouldn't do any harm to check it out if you were local. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bravo73 1,066 Report post Posted January 17, 2016 As long as the car wasn't registered Cat C/D, it could still have suffered from a poor accident repair and yet be 'honestly' advertised as 'HPI Clear'. A full inspection from a known specialist would certainly be worthwhile. Do BCA have their past auction catalogues online somewhere? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

superdavelotus 122 Report post Posted January 18, 2016 This is a very interesting read, I have been thinking about this car over the weekend and even discussed it with the wife. It didn't go down very well as I've just bought her a new car at Xmas and we have 3 other cars, which she is saying is getting out of control. I very nearly took the day off tomorrow to go and have a look at it. If people are saying it's been previously accident damaged then I probably would have missed this myself. I would have taken the view that it's a 14 plate with HPI clear so wouldn't have even got it inspected! Now I am crapping myself thinking what if? I need to find out a bit more about this car before proceeding. Thanks for the heads up, I think this thread is very valuable! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gothmog 3 Report post Posted January 23, 2016 This is an interesting proposition: http://www.bellandcolvill.co.uk/usedcars/cardetail/100007264/Lotus/EVORA £24k, but best part of 80k miles? No pictures, so maybe those miles have been a bit 'hard'! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
