2 wheels at the front (ie Morgan) is a very different proposition to 2 wheels at the rear (ie Reliant & Bond bug etc). One is light, fast and stable. The other definitely isn’t!

This is @Jason Trevor’s car: -
Fuel bill might be an issue. These use a Jag V12, don’t they? And are measured in GPM. 😳

If you haven’t done it already, drive them back to back. Your answer will then be obvious. If you want a V8 burble and the badge, you will get a Vantage. If you want pretty much everything else (particularly driving dynamics), you’ll get an Evora. (FWIW, I sold a V8 Vantage to get my Evora and haven’t regretted it for a second). -

It might also be worth putting a post up in the ‘Evora Wanted’ section: https://www.thelotusforums.com/forums/forum/211-wanted/ -
Whatever next? A Lotus owner wanting to modify their car??!? 😉

Already out there:

Ah. I’m guessing that this will be last time that you buy a 10yo car ‘sight unseen’. Good luck with sorting the niggles. None of them sound catastrophic.
-
Did you inspect or view the car before you bought it?

Welcome to TLF. 👋 Whereabouts in France are you? @Brussis a long term, multiple Evora owner and lives over there (somewhere). He also has a penchant for a grey Evora. 😉

Wow, what a story. Welcome to TLF. 👋 I look forward to hearing how you get on with your Esprit.

Where’s C3PO?

RB will probably produce the ICE elements & Ford will provide the hybrid bits:

Although it’s obviously not a nice sight, I suspect that the ‘AM’ is probably one of these: http://www.asmotorsport.co.uk/specs_build.html No idea on the Evora though. ☺️

Re-enabling disabled TPMS(?!)

There isn’t, unfortunately. See my post above. ☝️ -
High. Any non-charge cooled supercharger is going to be subject to heatsoak after prolonged use (especially on track). Especially with where and how the engine is installed on th Evora. Another option is the Komotec EX460 kit. This pushes the stock TVS1320 SC to its limit but also adds an chargecooler to the system: https://www.hangar111.com/shop/komo-tec-lotus-tuning/643-komo-tec-evora-s-phase-4s-ev460.html

That was the original version. The current version can include a charge cooler. Hoffmans. Although there are now other UK suppliers (IIRC).

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/64509697 ”Ford are returning to Formula 1 to join forces with Red Bull after more than 22 years out of the sport. The team will part-fund Red Bull's engine from 2026 taking over from Honda.“

The owner must live in or near Oxford because I’ve seen it around a few times. Exterior colour is aquamarine blue but no idea on the interior, I’m afraid. If I ever see it parked up, I’ll check. But it is certainly no garage queen; I saw it coming out of a Waitrose car park.

What makes you think that CTL have got $10m burning a hole in their pockets??!? However, I’m sure that Clive is very aware of the auction.

Is EV59 ORA on the LE Register?

Talk is cheap.

That doesn’t look so silly to me. Welcome to TLF. 👋 You’ve come to the right place.

Not quite. Most likely a partnership (or engine supply/branding of some sort).
