I assume the soft limiter blips around 6500 and it's all done before 7000?

Limiter is at 7k I believe, lower while the engine coolant temp low light is illuminated.

New Inductee into the Sport 410 Group.

My first Lotus, but I've been well versed into the ACBC ethos by my friend @jep. Who made my introduction to Lotuses with a 340R no less! Hooked ever since.

Safe to say, in the 2-3 weeks that I've been in ownership of this Ultra Violet beauty I can fill an entire page of the "People's Reaction to your Evora" thread by myself, including a little one who dropped his ice cream in shear excitement as it came around the corner at Windsor castle this weekend.  I really should have offered to buy him a new one.....next time.

The noise..........words cant explain, and the Carbon Buckets are ace once tilted!

Safe to say I'm over the moon with the acquisition.

Few photos and a tasty departure video clip from the PetrolHeads show. The Noble did ok, the 410 stole the show..

Stunning @AD Fox and what a cool number plate. Bravo! Bellissimo!

Stunning colour, looks great with the silver wheels and without the stripes. It’s beautiful ❤️

[C8RKH]

The stripes are there, just obscure...

Better plate now.....apparently this unique Evora in Porsche UltraViolet coachwork was commissioned as a single digit salute to Stuttgart for producing a 911 in black and gold.

It's a fabulous car, although I expected more revs from the Toyota engine.  I assume the soft limiter blips around 6500 and it's all done before 7000?  Will have to work at getting the best from it!

I think you get another 200 revs in Sport mode but by that point your ears are bleeding from the fantastic howl from the exhaust/engine 😀

My 2022 mission is to find all the Sport 410 Evora. 

I understand the certificate of provenance from Lotus states the number of each car as others have testified earlier in this thread. A retrospective plaque is tempting, ideally an agreed style from current owners.

I will touch base with Andy Graham at Lotus to see what info he holds on Sport 410.

As you know I have the only RHD Fire Red one. There was one other Fire Red, LHD, and went to Italy I believe. I'll look out my Certificate of Provenance (I paid for the full one) and PM you details if there re numbers made etc.

I have a partial list of most of the North American ones including VIN numbers.

[jep]

@Julian73if you could message that info, that would be appreciated. I will start a basic spreadsheet database and I will contact the factory this week.

Evening all

@jep I was going to do the same last year, but never got around to it. I would be glad to help you make it happen though

I’ve got #7 of the RHD manual cars. It is #1 of 4 for the production (not press) cars in Black.

I got my certificate from Lotus in December and happy to share more details to help with your Sport 410 database!

Instagram account:

Currently empty but hopefully it will fill up with pics of every Sport 410 ever made. One day......

Justin

 

[JimUK]

Great idea. Let us know if you need a hand!

Is the plan to do one post for each car with spec + a few photos?

Yes but obviously I don't want to publish any pictures or info without owner permission except for dealer advert photos. I suppose if I see a car at an event or on the street, I am free to put the picture on Instagram.

I have just ordered a Cert of Provenance for our Sport410, I'll be interested to see if it lists build number.

Ideally I would like to have Ltd Ed plaques made for each car. 

Justin

 

[JimUK]

Yes, the cert will tell you which number your car is out of the 27 UK cars (including the two GPs). It only mentions the UK cars though. I got my cert just before Xmas it’s very interesting.

I’m lucky enough to have the only 4x4 Sport 410 ever made. These are exactly the conditions the Cup 2’s are made for 😂 

[jep]

There's always one mud slinger.

 

[Bruss]

Are you there to tow away that trailer home?

👋🏼 Hello from one of the other black 410 owners 😁 

I have just put new cup 2s on mine so shall not be trying off-roading 😂

[Gadzooks]

Just changed the wheels/tyres over from the slightly more winter friendly Michelin PS4S back to Cup 2s. What a difference. I had forgotten how much steering feel and immediacy on turn in that I had lost with the 4S  Had an epic drive across Salisbury plain at the weekend and am looking forward to doing some more trips
