I think I may have to start wearing a flat cap and maybe get some string back gloves on my Christmas list😁

Particularly relevant at this time of year with the low sun is sun visors that actually shield your eyes if you are a person of normal height.

looks gorgeous, and nice garage.

Thanks go to @LazyDonkey for cleaning the car for me in freezing weather. Sorry but it got dirty on the drive through rural Scotland yesterday.

When I viewed his sales history he has been selling quite a few (mostly Citroens) and quite a few of them were advertised as Cat C/D. I'm not saying the Evora is but I would definitely check it out before buying. He now seems to have blocked his history from my view.

I viewed this car in October. AU10 ECN Storm titanium Evora NA If you do a search on this forum and the Internet in general you will discover that it was used in the soap Emmerdale. Do a search for its mot history on the government website and you will see that on it's first three years it had only done 8k miles, that's quite low and might be explained by it's TV usage. There was no early documentation of it's history that Gareth could show me and he wasn't able to show me any stamps in the service book. In subsequent communications he has said there are 7 stamps in the service book. There may be a valid reason for this but I would advise any buyer to beware and check it out Gareth has had the car a couple of years and has documentation to show the work he has done on it. He also showed me pictures of work he has done on his project car (Alpha Romeo 4C), he seems to be a competent home mechanic and in the bodyshop. The bodywork and the paintwork look to be in really good condition. It has PPF on front, sides and back and that looks in good condition also. I had a short test drive and didn't notice any faults but it wasn't long enough to form an opinion. If I was interested in the car after some consideration, I would have gone back for another test drive. It has Sports pack but not Tech pack or Premium pack. Gareth has added a rear view camera and different head unit. There were some items of the Tech pack that I wanted and it didn't have them. The drivers mud flap was loose. This sounds like a nothing job but there may be more work involved than you would think There may be other things that I didn't spot. I have already requested more info about this car on here but no one was able to give me any extra info so it has been off the radar for a while. Value is a subjective thing. £25,000. Not for me. You might also want to check out Gareth's previous Ebay history and as ever, buyer beware.

I know that I have driven the LR gearbox but I don't know if I have driven the close ratio box. I tend to view a test drive as an opportunity to discover faults. When I get the Evora I plan to drive it on the road but may have a go at a track day. I expect I will only know if I have the right box when I have experienced living with it for a while.

Hi Tom This was the first Evora that I viewed and took out for a test drive. It had a problem with the red LCDs on the dash so I didn't take it any further than that but I am now starting to reconsider it and may consider a second viewing now that I have a bit more experience about what I am looking at.

Hi Everybody I'm looking to buy an Evora as a Sunday / Leisure car. I've always wanted a Lotus and now is the right time for me. I will probably be going for a 2010 model, I've viewed and had test drives in half a dozen cars already. I don't think I've found THE car yet but there are 3 that I might consider making an offer for. If anybody could provide me with information about these cars that might be helpful it would be greatly appreciated. http://www.thboler.com/used-cars/7443981-lotus-evora-v6-4/ The reg number for this car is AU60 AYH, I have suspicions about the front end amongst other things. https://www.lotussilverstone.co.uk/vehicle-details/Lotus-Evora-U111/ The reg number for this car is AU10 EZK https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2010-LOTUS-EVORA-2-2-27K-MILES/273585380390?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D20140107083358%26meid%3De251a8b066b8497fbe3f43894719358a%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D273529994481%26itm%3D273585380390&_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850 The reg number for this car is AU10 ECN, The early use of this car may explain why it was not particularly well cared for. Thanks in advance
