Are you calling me a lunatic @jep? Really? What the hell...

 

 

Oh, ok then 😜👍

Someone posted up the Emira IPS interior in tan. Looked nice. Hmmm, maybe an Emira IPS as a daily? But then, I could buy an Exige 350 and an Evora NA Sports Racer for the same money ...  The lunatic in me is veering to the latter 

That was me and definitely the latter except I’d go Evora NA.

Notice this am that Lotus Silverstone have loaded pics of their 430. Someone had suggested to me that they had sold it quite quickly ,but this seems unlikely as they would have removed the add by now?

This looks like a lovely car and a bargain for a manual S! Not many on the market at any one time.

Just noticed this one on Pistonheads, can't see it being around long as it looks great.

[exeterjeep]

Think the yellow GT410 sport auto has been sold by Exeter. So probably have just the S auto left.

@jerzybondov, is this your car?

Stunning that one - If only I had the spare money 😞

Yes it is - I’ve had it up for sale before but each time persuaded myself to keep it, and find the money elsewhere. 

Issue is I’ve been suffering with illness the last 3 years, haven’t been working as a result and this time round I *really* am struggling to justify keeping it. You can only burn through savings for so long…!

[C8RKH]

Beautiful car @jerzybondov. Wish you well with what is a very reluctant sale I am sure.

Don’t forget that you can also list it on www.lotusforsale.com. 

There aren’t any eBay fees on there. 😉

[jerzybondov]

Will put it up there today!

Pretty sure that might have been bought by one of the LDC organiser/chair people. He's just taken delivery of a yellow 410. He had a 4cyl Emira on order but has obviously got itchy. Auto would make sense as he wanted more of a GT than his mk2 Exige.

That GT430 has indeed now been sold.

Hi Jon, He bought the yellow manual from Lotus in Glasgow. He decided it was the best option if he had to sell.

So just 1 left for sale now, wonder how much it sold for. If sold quickly should be close to asking price.

I could tell you. But then I would have to kill you. 😉

Reduced to £31,000

[Giveitfish]

I'd be there in a shot if there was some way I could afford it without having to lose my Elise. Good luck with the sale - hope you've not having to deal with too many timewasters.

[Jonathan Ashcroft]

Punchy pricing on this one based on the slow market at the moment. 

Also market tends to prefer originality but it does look very nice.

nice rear wing for those who like such things.. 

It does seem ambitious for a N/A although it looks like a lot of later model body panels have been fitted! I see yours Jonathan  has gone from pistonheads - did you get what ypu wanted for it?

Looks a bit of a bitsa to me. Odd to spend that amount on panels to make it look like something it isn’t whilst leaving a beige centre rest in place but each to their own I guess..

Low loader back drop an odd choice too?

[jep]

No chance. Airbag popped too.

No, I've decided to pull it and see if the market picks up. I'm also off on holiday for the best 4 weeks off and on so it seemed a waste of money to list it as I wouldn't be able to let anyone see it. 

Might re list again in July or might just hold on for a year until I inflation settles down. Don't want the resentment of selling it for cheap when I've loved it so much.

If the market does settle in the low to mid 20's then so be it I'll just have to accept it but at present it feels like there are so few buyers waiting for the perfect car to turn up which I would do in their position.

Hahah, fatal fault with the car! 

 

What's more weird is black front seats, cream rears and the oyster centre console 🤔. 

Doesn't have the premium pack either and I can't tell if it isn't a sport. Button looks blank. 

Makes me want a 410 a lot more though 😂

Yeah I think the soft market might be putting some buyers off too. as they maybe waiting to see where prices settle. You migh not want to buy something then immediately loose £~5k. hopefully it will settle in the next couple of months.

I suspect it is more to do with interest rates affecting spare cash for toys. HiFi has taken a dive too. Many people are waiting to see just how much these interest rate rises are going to affect them, especially those with mortgages and fixed rate end dates coming in the next 12 months.
