I have some of that… just that and wire wool / microfibre cloth ?

[Rambo]

No wire wool. Just an old rag and a buffing cloth. You'll be amazed what 30 mins of elbow grease can do.

I think JayEmm makes a good point about parts availability, I’d love to get back in an Evora but I’m out off by both parts prices and availability.

Lotus definitely need to learn from some of the other marques in having a 'historic' system to keep classics and out of production parts in easy supply. Folks paying for restorations etc. Usually funds it and also improves brand image.

[hamza]

Talking of restoration.... Steering wheel retrimmed

[Rambo]

You need some Solvol Autosol on that to buff it up to shiny leather 😉

[hamza]

Err no!

Finally got round to fitting the carbon tailgate, amazed at how much lighter it is than the original GRP version (and how much more engine noise you hear!) 

Very happy with how it looks, if's a lovely piece of kit, (although if I'm honest, I think it definitely suits darker colours better than white!...) 

[Phaeton91]

Good shout.  From your 3 quarter view it looks great and I’d guess that from full on rear view it would look equally striking.

IMO, A contrast is what you want with CF body parts like this.  Think surgically enhanced b@@bs - who’d ever want them to blend in completely!  

It also amazes me how much heat dissipates out of those vents - i suppose that increases exponentially when the car is moving and that can’t be a bad thing.

So a sad day today. Selling my fabulous but slightly impractical sports car. 4 seats have been very useful but finding I'm just not using it enough.

Farewell Clio.

[Gareth44]

Not the best advert for the car but this popped up on my 'this time last year' Google photos. I actually think it looks quite good from that angle!

[Rambo]

If you're ever thinking of selling your Evora, don't use that photo 🤔

[exeterjeep]

Don't think I have seen a pic on TLF showing the GRP rock guards fitted to the gt410/430 rear bumper. Well these arrived from the US, first one took awhile to fit the 2nd quicker after I learnt from doing the first. No way could I do this without taking the wheels off.

Southern Highlands Cars an coffee, Last Sunday of the month, at Schmokin Berrima, first shot at 7 am, second at 8am near 400 cars 1,000 plus people. Every surrounding street is parked out

[Bruss]

Had the ‘seconds’ cf hatch fitted.  Didn’t have time to get it painted but I now thing the cf matches well with grey/black of the car. I may just compound and polish it as is.
 

 

[NAC63]

Paint carbon fibre noooooooo 

[Bruss]

😀 Why not. 

[Whitey]

Parked up and this cool little Citroen antique turned up

[TdM]

That looks good to me as-is @Bruss

[Phaeton91]

I keep my Evora covered on the drive in bad weather.

5am this morning.  Never seen this before.  Any ideas for how to prevent it happening again.

I haven’t uploaded the video but the sound of their feet on it when they ran off was not very nice.

 

[exeterjeep]

Try looking up fox repellent ? 

[cdco]

3 Launch Editions together , 2 Mk3's and my MK1 ... Was surprised how the Emira made mine look skinny...

[Niffty951]

Dare I say that last pic is not flattering to the Emira. The Evora looks a much cleaner, more elegant shape. The Emira a little scrunched in the face

[TdM]

Foxes are nigh impossible to dissuade. Whatever you do, they work out isn't a problem for them sooner or later and then take the p**s out of you. Cheeky little buggers. Probably the more you try to dissuade them from the Evora specifically the more they will get on it.

On the plus side, it's unlikely they are doing much damage. Especially on a 400 where they can't even bend the mesh over the radiator vents.
