“Lotus Evora: Speed and Style” by Johnny Tipler

I understand that this has now been published. Has anyone bought a copy yet?

I was wondering how different it was to his original Evora book. It will obviously be updated but is it essentially a reprint (with a couple of additional chapters) or something more original?

The sample pages certainly look very interesting:

I'd like to own a copy, I'm sure it's good but for me Veloce Publishing don't offer value for money. I think their books are over-priced compared offers from others.

Coterie Press books are not cheap but worth every penny. I never feel that with any Veloce Publishing book I've seen to date.

Oh dear. This caption needs correcting before it goes to print. I don’t think Geely will be pleased to see the incorrect reference to “Anglo-Japanese synergies” rather than China!

I ordered it around 6 months ago and got a message from Amazon today saying it’s on its way - hopefully to be delivered tomorrow.

Oh dear indeed!

Sadly, that error is typical of the editing standards at Veloce Publishing. For £50, it should be better.

Is it perhaps referring to the Toyota drivetrain?

[Bibs]

It's a Union Jack and a Chinese flag so the caption isn't correct. Good point though.

Right caption and idea. Wrong picture. It's all a bit...

The whole concept is flawed. Journo with no knowledge of car puts together a few pics and half heard information. Look at his Elise offering and then this. Does he own a yellow car by chance? or did I mean chancer.

I was flicking through his ‘Sublime Sports car’ book the other evening and he reckons that he was the only journo allowed to drive the Evora pre-release.

Sublime Supercar was published by Coterie Press. A good book, as always by Coterie. 

Johnny T knows his stuff and loves Lotus. He's let down by Veloce Publishing, as are all authors.

I’ve flicked through the book now it has arrived, and as something to put on the bookshelf, it ticks the boxes.
 

Sure, it’s not 100% tickatiboo but there’s some interesting production photography and information that I’ve not seen before.  

All in all for the equivalent price of an Indian takeaway for the family, I didn’t think I could go far wrong.
