Poor advert and interior looks significantly worse than my 72,000 mile car.

v good price though !!! but yes side bolster after 28k ??

[Bibs]

Not sure a breakdown kit in the boot is a great advertisement either

[exeterjeep]

Located in Malvern, Barry territory?

[Barrykearley]

What a lovely motor - now if that was aqua with the cream coloured leather Id be having and in-depth chat with the missus about popping to Malvern on a job.

ive never seen that one out in the wild.

[windymiller]

a deep clean and get that leather repainted and you could up the ask by 2k id of thought

[theelanman]

@Bibsisn't the breakdown kit just a towing eye and a can of squirty cream?

🤣🤣

[Barrykearley]

Won’t need a breakdown kit on an Evora - unless of course that troublesome clutch gives way 😂

[Ba55uma]

So an IPS wouldn't need anything 😂😂

That one has now sold 

[Ba55uma]

Oh wow. That was quick. 

[Barrykearley]

Well that’s ended an argument in our house.

[exeterjeep]

Hardly enough  time to have started an argument

[Barrykearley]

Me: ooh this is nice “innocent comment thinking I’d like an aqua one one day”

her: you ain’t getting another car

Me: why - I now want it……..

 

apparently having the esprit, vitesse, V70r is enough cars…….. 

god help her if and when she buys another feckin chicken 

[TdM]

That one was cheap as chips. The advert was terrible, but no idea what they were thinking listing it at that price.

[Barrykearley]

Probably wanted to get it sold. Job done - priced right and moved on.

I hope the breakdown kit was included, unused obvs.

Hi everyone,

As an Evora owner I find this thread really interesting and useful. 

This beautiful Launch Edition has been posted tonight and if I didn’t already own one I’d be all over it. I do know the car and it’s absolutely stunning. I see there is  a comprehensive list of all the work carried out which  makes it one of the most ‘sorted’ Evoras available. I can see the prices continuing to rise this year as Lotus raises its profile even higher 👍

Generally I am not a fan of the oyster trim but that combo works beautifully. A stunning lookin' motor. 

Sport ratio gearbox a must for me, economy of no interest, 3rd and 4th ooomph is what I need. Others disagree, room for all.

That car should find a new home quickly.

As long as it is already dead, plucked and oven ready, and she roasts it to perfection and serves it with roasted potatoes and parsnips, some nice wee sprouts, home made gravy, carrots and a dollop of mash made with lots of butter, I can't see the harm Barry! You can be a cruel bugger at times....

Isn't this @Daveb99's sorted car documented in this thread?

https:/www.thelotusforums.com/forums/topic/114731-lotus-number-9-the-evora-launch-edition-refresh-thread/

If so someone is in for a very sorted car ... and the rest of us with LEs have a good thread to follow.

[Bravo73]

@cdco Yes, it is. 

[C8RKH]

It is a very sorted car, though the little "comment" re the gearboxes is unnecessary (and not quite correct - i.e. it was a small number of gearboxes that had the issue and the serial numbers are known and from MY12 I believe all Evora's had the CR box so not a lasting issue either - the problem was with some "soft" internals in specific shipments) and probably just seller excitement!

Cannot fault the work that has gone into the car and this will be one of the very best LE editions out there, so I would have thought a long term keeper for someone with the value only going to go up. Strangely, as I never thought I would, but I do love that silver/Oyster combo. Quite classy to be honest.

Lovely car and very local to me , I think Dave is in Lutterworth not Hinckley so I don’t know who the owner however I stand to be corrected

I normally attend the local Hinckley car show and not seen this particular car on display only seen one Evora at this meet.
