TLF Evora Sport 410 Club

[smithpaulg]

Hi

I am new to this forum, but not to Lotus, having previously owned a Type23 and currently a Chrome Orange Exige V6s.   

This weekend I drove down to Silverstone in my Exige and popped in to see Aimee to look at the GT410Sport she had in stock, took it for a test drive, followed by a test drive in the auto 410sport.  Having driven down in mine and compared the two others back to back, I concluded I much preferred to 410Sport.  Ironically, down to the auto-box and the carbon seats!?!?  felt like i was sat in this car, like my Exige, not on it.  Loved the paddleshift  

Anyway, a quick chat with Aimee, a deposit was paid and I drop off my Exige and pick up it up in a couple of weeks!

This weekend, I did some googling at it turns out it was one of the original press cars (grey one in the middle).  Does anyone know the anything else about the history of the car, as it doesnt come with much info?

Thanks

Paul

ps Anyone looking for a nice Exige complete with harnesses, aim dash and alpine halo9 headunit, Aimee will have it in a couple of weeks!

I am hugely biased, of course, but I do think the Sport 410 IS THE most undervalued Evora out there.

It has 9/10ths the performance of the GT430 for 5, or 6, tenths of the price. And, it's rarer!

Nice, congratulations and welcome

Exactly why i went for my GT410 Sport over another GT410 Sport! 

[smithpaulg]

although i will be looking for some brackets to tilt them slightly

[philnotts]

The first thing i did too! And yes its a lot better!

I know that Simply Lotus in Oz had 1 pair left . Try emailing them -- parts@simplysportscars.com

Otherwise its make your own or find an owner who has one but they are very rare!

[smithpaulg]

i am guessing you need 2 pairs for both seats? i left the website not clear  

 

anyone going to LITP this year?

[philnotts]

Yes, if you wanted to do both, but i just needed to do the drivers.

[smithpaulg]

i'd need them both at the same angle  

[philnotts]

Another good LDC monthly meet at the Great British Car Journey!

[smithpaulg]

Picked up my car on Saturday from Aimee at Silverstone and handed over the keys for my v6s.  Really pleased with the car, it is immaculate and drives and sounds 😍! 

Anyone local 410 owners interested in coming on an mloc run on sunday morning (LiTP Practice run)?  it would be good to meet up?

Also, is there a register of 410 Sport owners (i see from above there are 27 of us) how many are on here? @Rancid?
