It is very nice looking car - a cracker!

70,124 at last MOT in March 23.

Yum!

In my best, but not good, Sean Connery voice "shurely not". Interesting thought.

On the photo of the driver's side, what is behind the o/s/f wheel? Looks like 2 bits of wood between the mudflap & tyre?

Me too - enquired about RX12 FHH when it was advertised by Will last year - appeared to be a nice car, but gone before I could see it. Looks like there was a sizeable list of potential buyers. Pretty pleased with what I did buy though.

I know someone who bought the dampers from the gentleman in Switzerland.........................😀 As an aside, I've noticed that new & used Evora S dampers seem to appear on Ebay more often than NA dampers. How different are they? Top mounts and springs appear to be the same between S and NA. Would S dampers work OK on a NA Car?

Search over. Bought D.J.'s White & black NA 2+2. Thanks again for all the messages.

Thanks for the advice Barry, I only need one kidney, so now looking to sell one and buy 2 Evoras - you are sure about this aren't you?

Gareth. Thanks for that. I am hoping that the current NA target works out, but if not, one to consider.

A sincere thanks to those who have pm'd me with details of their cars. I know that the 'low miles, low owners etc' thing might sound like a bit of a tall order, but there are cars around that do meet the criteria. You never know, the right one might be just around the corner............ The search is currently on hold. An update or search resumption will follow in the next week or so.

I understand the 'needs to be used' logic. I also have family experience of 2 identical cars bought at the same time from the same dealer. After a few years, one car had more than double the mileage of the other. Both were regularly used, but one less so than the other and both were serviced as per the manufacturer's schedule. After the said few years, the low miler was in much better condition. Car will be used regularly, but unlikely to rack up miles at a big rate. Not thinking about selling. More likely it will be taken off me and recycled as part of an action plan to address the stated climate emergency. Now enough about my warped or otherwise buying logic and on with the search. The right car will appear, it always does.

Yes, I know, but they do exist, as a regular poster has confirmed with his recent purchase.

Hello there. Thanks for the reply. I am looking for a car with fewer miles - there are still a few out there. Thanks again.
