Hi folks, I'm looking to buy a GT410 Sport, mainly to be used as a weekend car and for occasional road trips to North Wales and Europe. I've also got a 2yr old and 5yr old, and I really like that I can take them along for short trips - something that attracts me to the 2+2 nature of the car.
I've been to see and test drive the following two cars:

The grey one is an automatic - am I right in saying that an automatic GT410 Sport is an extremely rare beast? It drove extremely well, the only negatives for me are the colour (the grey hides all of the carbon bits) and the higher mileage.
I saw the Motorsport Green one today and the colour was amazing! It pops in the sun and the carbon contrasts well. I actually think I slightly preferred the automatic gearbox.... The manual wasn't the most satisfying gear change (my reference is the Honda S2000 that was much more precise) and the clutch might get wearisome when I'm pottling around the shocking Surrey roads.
I thought I'd post to see if the previous owners were on here or if anyone knew anything about these cars? There's not much wiggle room on price on either of the cars... Shame as all Evoras seem to be priced about £10k more than I'd expect them to be (looking at the price of Emiras), but such is the market it seems.
