Got Evora wing today. So I'am wingman now. Old n/a is much faster now.😄

Player switching to Evora completed. The reversing camera also works as it should. New is the Alpine iLX-702D which is much more modern than the old IVA-W520R.

I upgraded my cars (2011 N/A) oem Alpine IVA-W520R to more modern Alpine ILX-702d. Installed camera adapter from RCA to Alpine direct connection. Everything went well otherwise, but the new ILX-702d does not get information about the reversing gear. The reversing camera image does not appear when I engage reverse gear. I have to press the players 'Menu' button and select the camera as input. After that the camera view appears. Must be that my connection is not correct. Has anyone encountered this same problem? And what could be the solution?

Got mine too, brilliant, thanks Bibs. 😀

Interested in this, but we are going there with Swedish on 11.-21 September. Only issue is that Swedish are in quarantine.

My Esprit is like garage queen after I bought Evora. Last 5 years only 5000 km. Esprit came 2006, after that I have got about 55 000 km.

Happy New Year 2020 to All 🙂

Something like that, probably. So #20 is not for me, unfortunately. #11 is in German reg. So if I want GTE, it should be earlier than #11. I'll ask from Lotus about CoC.

Yes, I'am looking for LHD. We have RHD Elise (Wifes car), it's not best solution here. And Evora is much wider, so more complex to use. So, #20 is interesting. I have spent some hours to read this thread, mainly I tried to understand what GTE is. Of course I have seen all comments before. To get car registered here in Finland the CoC is mandatory and also EU-level type approval is needed. Is it so that GTE is officially Evora S? If so, then registration should be easy. I have bought N/A Evora from Italy, so I should know the prosedure. My current Evora, N/A IPS 2011, is like 'semi-daily' driver. I mean it is used all year round when needed. Not sure if I can do this with GTE. My countrys stubid car tax is something I have to take into consideration. This tax will be about 40%!! calculated from cars average value.

I just found that #20 is for sale. Some calculations and discussions with better half is needed now.

My Esprit is 046, and should be on registry.

I had the honour to meet Roger. What a nice person and what a career. Rip Roger

Not so much snow over here.

We were in same place. My Esprits spoiler is next to silver one.

Happy Birthday, have a good day!

I found this same days ago. Not sure is the price in correct level. I have seen this car and it's in good condition. It was for sale two years ago, asked 34000€ from memory. https://www.classicdriver.com/en/car/lotus/esprit/1986/243275

Sorry for delay, I have been too lazy with this forum. Yes, my car was in Vanajanlinna. Very easy to take part this meeting. Only 5 kilometers from home. Never seen other V8 Esprit with finnish reg. plates. I have discussed with the new dealer. They sell parts also to older cars also. But no experience yet. They have also service, a company called huolto-rep.

Some pics from finnish dealers showroom. Evoras rear was worse than I have excepted. Black car inside the bilding was not the best place to look it. Must see it again on sun. Evora starts from 167000€, with extras and IPS it will be 175000. :(

Just now new Evora 400 will be too expensive for me. Because of stupid car tax system, it's priced over 160.000€. But I'll ask quote of course.

Finally official Lotus Dealer to Finland. Bassadone / Autoverkkokauppa.com start the Lotus sales in Finland. The announcement is 29.10. Hope they can sell some cars. Service will be available too. I'am going to annoucement, want to see Evora 400. The last time Finland was the Lotus dealer in 1984. Then company called Korpivaara (Toyota dealer) sold 3 Esprits.

Bassadone / Autoverkkokauppa.com aloittaa Lotuksen myynnin Suomessa. Asian virallinen julkistus on 29.10. Autoverkkokaupan tiloissa Konalassa. Demo-autoina sininen Elise, oranssi Exige ja musta Evora 400. Huolto on ilmeisesti myös Konalassa, Huolto-Rep niminen firma. Lotuscars.com näkyy jo tämä. Tarkoitus olisi olla paikalla. Jukka

Thank's for info. I only want better user interface and navication.

Got an idea to upgrade my Alpine to newer version. But is the 920 any better than 520? Have anyone changed like this? Is it direct swap? Must I change reversing camera as well? Jukka
