Hi Alex, Do you have a link to this? Thanks

@C8RKH are you a mechanic or have you picked things up over time? Just wondering as you have done so much work to your Evora...!

You may be biased @C8RKH but I'm not and you've done a great job; looks awesome. Was the change in exhaust to the 2bular headings cost; was it expensive? Thanks again for all of your help and information; helps me massively...I'm a complete rookie!!

It is indeed faster than my Elise was @mik!!!

sorry @pete ...new to the forum! Thanks @Bibs ....appreciate the advice. The thing I loved about the Elise was the way it felt from a standing start and the feeling around tight country roads....sounds like the NA and "s" handle quite similarly around tight bends?

Thank you; great advice and good to hear as my budget may not stretch to an S so great to hear what you are both saying about the NA model. Have you had many issues with your Evora at all? The exhaust and sound is important to me so I may well pick your brain about that after I have made a purchase! Now time for my lack of knowledge....what is "LE" and what is "S1"? The thing I loved the most about the Elise was the acceleration and the way it felt on country roads around tight corners.... Thanks Mik. The thing I loved the most about the Elise was the acceleration from a standing start and the way it felt around tight corners on country roads...the feeling and thrill were amazing and I want that again with the Evora!! Thanks Alex. The colour is ideal for what I am after however I want a manual ahead of IPS. What will it be going for?

Thanks so much....so much great advice for me to digest. I hadn't considered the differences in the gearbox....think I need to get behind the wheel and drive a couple to get a real feel. I know as soon as I do, I will want one immediately!! The value really appeals to me and again makes this car a sound purchase....they just do not seem to drop massively and there is always a ceiling in my opinion that they will not go under. I regretably sold my Elise 8 years ago and its now worth more then when I actually sold it....Evora seems to be going the same way!! When I purchase one (fingers crossed) I will reach out if that's ok to get some tips around customising and pricing if thats ok. Thanks again for such a detailed message....appreciate it. Thanks Mik...I need to get out there and drive one I think....and soon!! What's SR? Great news about your dog; looks happy as Larry in the back of your gorgeous car!!

brilliant; thank you!

Cheers James. When did the "issues" get solved; is there a certain year I should be looking at or avoiding?

Thanks James. I have been watching your youtube video's; there is one on the background now!! Are there any tips that you would give to me based on the budget I am looking at...anything in particular you feel I should be looking for when I conduct my search?

I shall check out the videos out....thanks for sharing your research! All of this is wetting my apetitie up....not sure how I will hold out before getting one!

I've seen a red one (gorgeous colour and spec) but need to get the additional funds first before I can think about it! The rarity makes me want it more!!!

Great advice again; thank you. I am more than happy to wait (as hard as that will be) for the right model! How long have you had yours now? I'm only small(5'7) so there should be a bit more space at the back!! Good news re the kids....that'll sell it to the wife as well but to be fair...she's on board!!! My main concerns are around reliability (tin hat on) however reading the threads in this forum has reassured me that this is just the usual and lazy criticisms...hope the car I am lucky enough to get reinstates my belief! Cannot wait to get this car...the more research and blogs I read, the more I want it now!!!

Cheers Ted; that is really useful and I appreciate it. How are you finding the Evora? Everyone is trying to persuade me to go for the Cayman however I loved my Elise and think the Evora looks amazing so trying to ignore them all! One thing I am trying to point out is I can put the kids in the back of an Evora but I couldn't with a Cayman. I have a 1 and 3 year old so hoping there is enough space for them!! I will try to up the budget to get the S....think it would be worth the additional investment....

Thank you! The research has continued and the 400 is definately a no unfortunately unless I can magically double my budget!! It looks like I will need another £10,000 to get a good example of the S. Thanks for the recommendations! If I am unable to up the budget, what will £30,000 realistically get me in your opinion and what are your thoughts on that model?
