Thanks Jerry, much appreciated Greg

Thank you everyone, I appreciate the comments. Will reach out to the seller. Greg

Thank you and good spot! Greg

Evening all, any more details on this car? I note that it was originally silver. I’m pretty naive on the Esprit but my wife , previous Evora 400 owner, has taken a liking. Thank you Greg

Sorry NC, Andy is right. Apologies for the delayed response. Greg

If it was the grey 2015 plate with red interior, that was mine. It did indeed sell. Apparently there’s a lot of interest in 400s currently. Hope that helps. Greg

It was actually a private sale from a true enthusiast and someone well known on Elan Net. It’s a great car - rides just as any Lotus should. Does have its foibles but what classic car doesn’t? Part of the personality and fun if you ask me.

Cheers chaps. and @Bibs what do you mean? It has 4 seats also...! Perfect for the school run Greg

I sold mine so I could purchase this. Quite a contrast...

Happy to indulge. The best ones are the ones taken by the dealer. https://www.lotussilverstone.co.uk/vehicle-details/Lotus-Evora-U288/

Hi Eddie Setting my car aside for one second, probably worth seeing a red leather interior in person. All dealer photos are set to over expose the colours - the photos of the car that was on collecting cars was a case in point. It’s nowhere near as bright in person. I sat in both a black interior and a red leather one and the black made the interior overall very dark and a little depressing hence choosing red. Red alcantara is different again. Hope that helps with your search. Greg

Hi Eddie, what spec are you looking for? Mine is at Silverstone SOR currently. Metallic Grey, red leather interior - all options ticked. It had a new clutch under warranty during its third service. I didn’t think it needed it but the dealer convinced me to ask Lotus. Greg

Not sure I fully agree with that Bibs. I quite like it, but then I have a natural bias... Greg

That would be my car! As Will points out, mine was the second privately owned car in the world. It was used by my wife as her daily driver for the first couple of years which explains the mileage. My daily was an Elise at the time and there’s a cracking photo that Jamie at B&C took of us picking the car up - me in my Elise, my wife in her new 400. Charlotte then needed something more practical for the children so she moved on to a Focus RS, so mileage dropped significantly, hence now it’s for sale. Happy to answer any questions anyone has. Greg

My take on this is that the Evora market is quite different to most. Sellers (and I speak as one) are generally in no rush to sell. So there is very little discounting. Limited supply has been matched by limited demand historically. However, as interest in the Lotus brand increases, helped by the increased marketing and publicity associated with the final editions and the Type 131, the assumption (rightly or wrongly) is that prices will stay static or potentially rise.
