Oh yes, the IOM....sweet memories https://i.ibb.co/K75wJVR/E41470-C6-3026-4-C54-A587-A48-CFFA7-C1-EE.jpg https://i.ibb.co/1M94MSk/7-B0-E30-B8-5-DFB-49-A7-9525-C3317-C89524-F.jpg https://i.ibb.co/Z2GpqKx/63-A82-CE3-5379-4-C18-A6-F9-92-A413-EDB61-C.jpg

There are always prices to sell and those that ask higher and willing to wait it out. Christ, there’s some 400’s at dealers that must have been for sale for at least a year, if not a couple nearer 18-24 months. Personally when selling I’ve found the right price means it sells within 2 weeks. Be interesting to see what happens when new model is launched and more used cars hit the market Do miss my Evoras , especially the 400 Auto. Great cars

Shows as sold on the site, so buyers credit card would immediately be charged the 6% buyers fee.

I could be tempted back into an Evora with a GT410 at £60k. Makes the 2016 400’s look expensive from dealers. Just need more garage space now

£4K saving is worth having for difference in miles , if car meets your needs.

Sorry OP, soft top now sold.

Have a soft top in original storage bag that has been used for less than 7 days from new. Will take some photos over next couple of days

Welcome aboard sir 😀

Surprisingly the engine was a peach in the Probe. Was daily runner, and racked up some miles on it . Very Cheeseman Alpine a great car, with quick gear change. Just didn’t gel with look of the car from the front. Evora is more of an event 340R did look at them at the time, but never 100% sure of them. Probably missed out but hey ho

Only live once and so many cars to try .....although always come back to Lotus

@bibs fill your boots 🙂

Yep, that was me Probably loads of us from here all wandering around without a clue who everyone else is 😄

Popped along in my Elan Plus 2. Just 50 years behind this tech 😆

Expect to see a 400 popping and banging on downshifts around Evesham soon then ;)

Love the 3-11. Only 25 mins drive from C&M so shame couldn’t pop out to see the lotus attendance.

Loved my 400 Auto and made seats more comfortable by removing spacer at rear of runners and moving to front, giving more under leg support and lowering seat slightly. Great fun on IOM and positive feedback from owners of Lambos, Mclarens and Fezza’s re exhaust noise Lack of armrests on the 410 models would drive me mad on long runs. So I say twist for 400 Auto.

Based on what facts ? Intrigued. It’s an auction site at the end of the day so buyer beware

Flawed but fun

Awesome

Friend with an Elise 111R is looking to move into an Exige V6. He’s not in any rush and has up to £50k to spend. I’ve advised him to wait until furlough stops and true extent of recession kicks in, for the morbid biggest bang for buck, although aware Lotus cars don’t get hit as hard as other brands. I’ve advised Sport350 at low £40’s now is best bang for buck, however he did have a soft spot for my old 380. Thinking of what I sold mine for to trade 12 months ago, the fact the early cars are hitting 3 years old and potential state of market end of year I have advised he should be able to get a 380 for £50k via private sale, end of year. Am I wrong ?

Love it

my original V6S had bad squeaking / creaking behind drivers seat. Dealer removed rear cockpit panel and fitted foam tape behind panels, and once re fitted all sorted. From memory also had similar sound and found fitting some foam tape behind clip cover to seatbelt anchor worked a treat

Fully understand where the OP is coming from with this , as even a 100 mile round trip was an annoyance for me to “fettle” something on the car. When you are busy at work and family life, your spare time becomes very precious and I would much rather being enjoying a car than spending time getting it fixed. On average for every car (4 in total) I bought from the dealership, which was never new , but always between 3-24 months old , I would have 3 round trips to sort out problems on the car. That said once the niggles were sorted the cars were fine and the dealer was always excellent to deal with. Would it put me off buying another Lotus. Hmmmm it would be a factor, as I said before my spare time is precious. If the car was picked up and dropped off by trailer, then not a problem, but this is a small car company that can’t afford that level of service or let’s be blunt the customer ends up paying for it anyway So yes when the time came to replace the Exige, I did consider car marques that had more local dealers as part of the equation and ended up with an AMG GT Roadster. A great car albeit different to a Lotus. Motortrend had the coupe win performance car of the year a few years back for those that have never driven one Anyway I digress. Lotus is still my favourite car, supported by the fact I’ve owned 9 to date and am sure I will have another Evora at some point as think the GT styling of latest cars is epic. I will just have to swallow the fact I’m a certain distance from the dealer for any fixes. Hope that helps
