Only the the GT430 came with a baffied sump in the UK

Horner the Gaslighter, the aggressor playing the victim, how anyone can defend his actions is beyond me, there is a victim in all this process and she as sadly been pushed aside for a power struggle in the very toxic environment of Redbull ,shame on the FIA and liberty Media for not seeking more transparency. Sad times for F1, the only winner is sadly Netflix.

Looks good in Red and sensibly priced.

Totally agree Aston have come a long way in the last few years, it’s a stunning looking car and more than enough power, the latest infotainment is class leading, competitive on priced in this segment of the market. If this was lotus going down this route with powerful ICE engines instead of the EV tunnel sure it would make members of this forum much happier.

Yes Phil it was definitely a potential purchase always had a soft spot for the Type 25 430. But after driving the car you forgot how raw this lotus platform can be and decided that my old bones could not take the punishment anymore lol.

Not sure what your issue is with Lewis?, sure you would have not come out with the same comment if it was Max that was highlighted in Pete’s previous post. You seem to be one of the very few that are being negative about his move to Ferrari, good for the sport definitely unless you can tell me different?

Congratulations Phil that looks amazing, hopefully see you and the car on a MLOC run soon, the colour is fantastic, would be interesting how many left the factory in that colour combination. As for your question on the decals, never been a fan always thought the looked they looked like Halfords aftermarket stickers. To be honest they look ok against the grey paint and on limited run car buyers will want to purchase a car as close to OEM in the future.

You must be happy watching a other team trailing around at the back of the field, Andretti have never built there own IndyCar like the other teams buy them of the self so a bit of a tall order to build a competitive F1 car, look at the last team to join F1 Haas 10years ago it’s not gone that good for them. It’s the commercial rights holder Liberty Media and yes it’s a American company, who decides who can have a new entry not the teams.

Not a car I recognise from MLOC jollies.Previous Exige 240 owner and possibly my favourite Lotus to date. Fantastic cars.

That’s just rude, talk about being a north and south divide. We from the north find it hard to translate a southern ascent but don’t need to make an issue out it.

It’s about time the FIA got their house in order. It was an unbelievable the amount of time it took the stewards to give mad Max his time penalty. Should have been a simple give the place back in the first few laps. Don’t know way but Red Bull seem to have FIA in there pocket and it’s no better under there current Arab President Bid Sulayem it’s about time we had someone like David Richards was in this role who would I am sure would be totally independent. Max has history in his aggressive moves that he as never been given a penalty for. He as gone under the radar in the last few seasons with having such a dominant car that he as not have to show his true nature in being a bad sports person and not a very nice person and having the backing from Mr Horner the same sort of person (Toxic) does not help. A similar move below that no penalty was given where a driver was robbed of a drivers world championship in a year that some even more corrupt decisions where made by FIA and there stewards in the last race of the season.

Citroen SM for me closely followed by the Detomaso Pantera.

Fantastic

Looks like Geely are the favourites to purchase Aston F1, could the Lotus name be back in F1 🤷 https://www.gpblog.com/en/news/242779/rumours-of-geely-in-formula-1.html

Race stewards decided no further investigation into the incident, something you used to like to point out on the numerous occasions when Max used to run Lewis off the road or even worse crash into him. Pot calling the Kettle black?

60k unsold. No surprise there unless the owner needs the money.

What 410 did you follow on the LITP promo video? If it was my last Lotus it would make feel very privileged getting you into a very special car, I do hope it was yellow in colour if not that privileged as to go a other owner of a fantastic car. Sorry to hear about your misfortune’s this year and hopefully things will get better in the future👍

Hi Jimmy, yes the Macca still meeting and on some ocasiones beating my expectations it’s a very capable car. Will be back in a Lotus at some point, a 430 would be a very tempting car to get back into the brand, they have to be a very hard car to value as they don’t come up for sale that often. With the economic climate we are in at the moment anyone in the market for the best modern Lotus made to date this car could be the best opportunity to buy one?

Will be interesting what this 430 achieves in what is a struggling used car market at the moment ? https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2018-lotus-evora-gt430-1

The Evora GTE raced by the National Academy of Motorsport is a new chassis up car built for this season’s racing, the 2011 Le Mans car as been retired from racing, put back in its Le Mans livery and is on show at Central Lotus show room.

A great in-depth review, have a feeling the Electra are going to sell by the bucket load.

To be fair some lotus especially Evora’s do go through a lot of owners and my NA was on its 8th owner when I sold it and at that time I sincerely thought it was the best NA on the market. Lots of money spent on it not just by me but previous owners. The amount of owners and miles recorded should not put potential buyers off and that’s from a person that’s had a good fair few new lotus and used cars from the brand.

Looks like Shmee’s 675LT in the background?

They have made a slight mistake with the advert as it is not a Sports Racer, it’s a really well specced Evora S with a expensive option list and probably better for it, there are not many about, the main giveaway is the full leather interior with no Alcantara. Looks a great car with good history, you can say any Evora’s or Lotus are bargain’s especially when you see what some inferior and ropey so called fast Fords are demanding at the moment.
