Beady 83 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Sadly it's true. After 6 years I have decided it's time for a change. The car is still fantastic and I think James will love it every bit as much as I have . For me the exciting search starts now..keep an eye out in the wanted section 2 Quote construction and property consultants : My company Link to post Share on other sites
internets 480 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Wow Beady, a very original Evora owner too, though you would never sell what you thinking about now then, or that TBC?

JAWS 427 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Can't believe it Beady! Nice to see it's gone to another enthusiast though, enjoy it James - you're garage looks like a showroom! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Colin G 762 Posted January 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 I've always hated cars painted that colour, but to be fair I saw an Exige that was and it was stunning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe it's like that so you can doodle on it like a chalk board? Maybe it didn't sell before a as the mileage looks the same... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gold FFM C8RKH 6,727 Posted January 31, 2016 Gold FFM Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Park it up in Bristol and maybe Banksy will add some magic to that blank canvas. Not a bad car at all. Looks fine, just reminds of the Bismark or HMS Hood A couple of 15 pounders behind the front grill to blow the odd pesky Porker off the road maybe? Quote Alcohol. Sex. Tobacco. Drugs. Chocolate. Meh!

superdavelotus 124 Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 So what's the crack on this 2014 red one going at sub £40K on Ebay? I've read it was at Snows? but what exactly is wrong with it now if anything? Why isn't it being snapped up? I keep looking at it, my heart's telling me to buy it but my head is not.

Bravo73 1,389 Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 It has featured in a recent thread. IIRC, it was at a recent BCA auction and something to do with a poor accident repair. I'm on my phone at the moment so can't really search for the link, I'm afraid. Maybe someone else can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bibs 11,659 Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 It wasn't a poor accident repair, more the fact it had been in one.

Gold FFM C8RKH 6,727 Posted February 8, 2016 Gold FFM Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 I'm only on my small phone so cannot find it Hreido but Bibs post made me recall this car and somewhere on here I am sure it has been discussed at length. Incidentally, I think it was Kalli on here who picked himself up a slightly damaged Evora and if you look at it now - it looks truly amazing and he seems very happy with it. As ever, eyes open...
