Gold FFM paranoidandroid Posted July 1, 2020 Gold FFM Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 This seems a bit of a bargain Evora IPS, didn’t realise prices had softened quite so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LotusLeftLotusRight Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 Wow that is cheap! Seems to be to an MY12 too. Sort of like a Sports Racer spec. Scarcely any money above the NA LE posted earlier. Maybe there is a story behind this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim_marra Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 Its an early MY12 spec, as the battery cover is hidden behind carpet and it lacks the boot stowage net . Does seem a bargain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy1969 Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 to add a nerdy comment (as @tim_marra already got the crown for realising the early battery "cover"...) the floor mats are not very first MY 12 (but they might have been chnagd later on this car); you could also identify a very early my 12 (even some build in 2011) because of their door pins I think, but not in the pics shown in the advert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty435 Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 Looks stunning, like the leather in place of alcantara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim_marra Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 The premium sport interior as featured didn't use any alcantara. It is all leather. Once the SR was introduced late summer 2012 I think very few non - SR cars were produced as the SR gave a significant saving over the equivalent spec'd non-SR.

Lotus got so many things just spot on and right with the original S1, they really did. Would like to get back in one, one day, but will build another bloody garage first...... I’ve had both the N/A and currently a SR and for me the dark textured steering wheel and HVAC surround look much better than the smooth alloy. But I also refused to upgrade to a 4xx because of the front-end and revised interior. Mind you, the GT front-end has returned to the Lotus good looks but it’s a shame the armrest is only in the non sport model. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM C8RKH Posted July 2, 2020 Gold FFM Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 @Gazm I wasn't a fan of the 400 front end when it first came out but I like it now. I guess things just become more familiar. As for the arm rest who can order that from here or Deroure and it is not a hard fit nor that expensive. It will fit any Evora.

Gold FFM Popular Post TdM Posted July 3, 2020 Gold FFM Popular Post Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 @Dan E you have to buy one. When I'm not driving mine I want to drive it and when I come back from a long drive, I want to drive it more.

Gold FFM Dan E Posted July 4, 2020 Gold FFM Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 It is seriously tempting I have to say unfortunately Bibs drives like my wife but I would imagine that it would be brilliant with a proper driver. the problem is I start on Pistonheads say, and look at the S1’s then I think we’ll for another 10k I could have, oh and for another I could have then I end up looking at a Military Grey (the bestest colour ever) 410 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really any different from 6 months ago when I purchased mine. £36k was about the going rate for a 2012S from an approved dealer. So this looks about right to me.

Gold FFM C8RKH Posted July 7, 2020 Gold FFM Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Statistically it will be more reliable then.

scotty435 Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Agree great car. Will had this same car for sale late last year and I made a enquire about the car but it was sold in a matter of days of the advert going live. For me the one thing that lets it down is not having the premium pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally minutes after he advertised the car and it was already sold. (Might have even been this car) Think he does it to build up a customer pool. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Striker Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Me too - enquired about RX12 FHH when it was advertised by Will last year - appeared to be a nice car, but gone before I could see it. Looks like there was a sizeable list of potential buyers. Pretty pleased with what I did buy though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo79 Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 Hi, Just starting my search....#excited This thread has been incredibly helpful. Does anyone know the 2010 Persian Blue car? Great colours and spec. Is it a forum car? Any comments or advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
