were those two both Lotus Elise that overtook you?

Yes, they are both cheaper to replace than the Evora... I intended to drive home afterward and I didn't fancy telling mrs Slow that I'd totaled the toy car.

Nice run over the top of Dartmoor today after the @SWLC open day - the weather matched my Evora pretty well.

On tour in Europe. Evora looks the part in these surroundings. Can you guess the other 4 cars?

[Bravo73]

Huracan, Beetle Turbo, 918 & Mclaren SLR.  I’m not sure about the estate though, I’m afraid. Peugeot?

[Snoopy1969]

Estate should be an Opel (aka Vauxhaul) Kadett 

[Malcolm Feth]

Just a few more...

That's gorgeous. Don't know why we do not see more Evora's, especially green, blue and red ones, with the tan interiors.  The blue GTE with tan is achingly beautiful but that green one above looks just wow. Nice pics and my new screensaver!

@Malcolm Feth as always: many thanks for sharing! Amazin shots of an awesome build, outstanding color / int combo

Wonder why they didn't fit the carbon bonnet vent/access panel of the original 20 Lotus-built cars?

[21gg]

Thanks C8rkh. I presume they haven't got any, only the ones with the standard 'bonnet'.

It does look well. I notice they've used the original mansory seats aswell. Shame theyve used up the spare wheels and wishbone stock though.

Gav.

Since we are on the topic of Evora GTE. Here you go - no.2 before 21gg bought it

[rallyesax]

Looks awesome. Very nice choice.

[C8RKH]

Super choice of colour and the blue stitching is a classy choice.

Surprised no one has been gushing and flushing and swooning re "oh my god, look at that lovely cup holder"    

[Snoopy1969]

Congrats, epic Color, great Combo with the matching stiching!!!!!

[tim_marra]

Looks great, especially with the carbon panels 

[French Frie]

OK ... this the best EVER color combo I've seen for a 400  !  congrats   ! 

 

PS: and the surroundings are great too  !

 

[French Frie]

[C8RKH]

Yuck if they are.

Thanks for all the comments!

I think they are.  I know that it was a very big deal for Lotus to get these seats from Sparco because there are all kinds of restrictions on the seats.  For example, unlike European cars, they can't do the Lotus logo in contrast stitching on the seat.  But, in fairness to Lotus and Sparco, the seats are very good (right level of comfort and hold on cornering) and look good in person (much better than in this particular shot).  Re cupholder -- I can't imagine what they were thinking in the design.  It's so silly trying to reach way behind you blindly with a cup of sloshing liquid because they located the cup holder like 6" behind the seat.   The Lotus cup holder in my 2011 Elise is an aluminum ring with a little leather strap that slides forward from under the radio -- it's not a bad design, although the cup holder is actually too small to hold most cups.
