Is there a post code for this event please?

Just to confirm, I'll be coming to this and 2 others, but they'll be doing an early run beforehand.

I feel I should be able to make this. I may be able to drag along a couple of other Evora 400 and Elise if that's OK?

Well if those number are correct (I'm doubting them) that would make the 410 Sport a bloody rare car indeed, even for Lotus numbers.

So how many Sport 410 were sold worldwide?

Hi, yes I believe 178 in total were sold world wide. I think 32 were sold in the UK with 27 currently registered on the road. So not very many really.

Can any of us very lonely Sport 410 owners join in?

Let me be one of the first to put my name down for this. Unless the world stops spinning, I'm 99% sure I'll make this one. I'll be camping too.

👍

Yep thanks for that, but I wanted to do the work over this weekend so I could pop into my local Toyota as the spare dept is open in the morning.

Ok guys, I've decided I'll be doing the next service on the Evora 410. To do the job I've bought some new car ramps and the tool to remove the filter. I will be doing the engine oil and gearbox oil at the same time, plus brake fluid and steering. One question I hope someone can help with. I've searched YouTube and I think the genuine filter from Toyota is a 01452-YZZA1, can anyone on here confirm if I have that correct, or provide an alternative filter I can use here in the UK? Ta

Welcome to the Evora club. Only thing I would say is if your car is still fitted with the Cup2 tires, then put some cash aside for a new set as they don't last long. I only managed to get just over 3k miles out of mine. Bloody great tire though, just not so good in the wet or damp conditions. Changed the Cup2 for Pilot Sport4S I changed out the sub for a Hertz one and the door speakers for Focal speakers plus a cheap but better amp than the standard Alpine unit. No need to change the head unit as the speakers + amp make a hell of a difference. Enjoy the car.......pics please.

I only use it in the Evora when driving abroad, I find the motorways here (M25) has way to many cars on them to be able to use CC. Plus I can't for the life of me work out why Lotus did make the CC buttons illuminate when the lights are on. Roy

Is anyone able to provide me with a copy of the service schedule for an Evora 410 Sport? I have a copy of the schedule that came with the car, but for some reason it's all in French. Also anyone know if the 410 Sport has the baffles fitted in the sump, similar to the Exige 410 ect? Thanks Roy

When I moved the car into the garage I did leave it running for 15mins to get some heat into the engine bay, then left it for a few hours. Tried it again today and its all back to normal......phew. I did have a feeling it was a frozen cable, if it wasn't working today then my next move would be to disconnect the cables at the gearstick to rule out if the issue was at that end. I'm glad I did put the car away, this morning my wife's car wouldn't start and my Ranger struggled a bit too. Mind you it registered -9 this morning according to my Ranger. Thanks for everybody's input, but the 410 lives another day.👍

I used the Evora 410 a couple of days ago and then parked it up in the underpass at the side of the house with no issue what so ever. The wife said it's due to be -6 tonight I decided to clear the garage to put the car away. The car started on problem, but I can only select 3 and 4th gear. I can't get the gear stick to move across the neutral gate to select reverse 1, 2, 5 or 6 gear? I'm hoping its something just frozen up and being in the garage overnight it will free up. Anyone else had this issue?

I don't know if you got this sorted out in the end. I did a sound system swop out 6 months back and took most of the dash panels out to do the mod. I never got as far as removing the complete dash, but then you may not have to, to find what's rattling. My car is a 410 so slightly difference from your car, but from the above pic it looks as if Lotus have used the same fixing method for the panels. Its' worth getting set an interior removal tools, as they will make this job sooooo much easier and help protect the surface of the panels. Once you have most the panels off, you may find where the sound is coming from. I found it so much easier to work on the car with the seats out, good luck.

Very sorry for the late notice, but I'm not going to be able to make this meeting. Hope you guys have a great time.

Could you count us in please, breakfast for 2 please.

OK will do, see you guys there for Saturday.

Could meet up with you guys at Hilton & Moss for around 9:00am. Would I need to let them know with a phone call or via email?

Is there room for one more to join?

Off to the Spa F1 on Thursday 7:30am crossing via the Euro tunnel. Wondering if anyone on here is going too?

Dave and Megan, as others have mentioned, thanks so much for steeping in and saving the day feeding us all. Also thanks to Chris for arranging the meeting in the first place. O and cheers Peter for the spirited drive and leading the way to Dave & Megan's place, don't think I would have found it without you leading the way. Thanks all, Roy.
