Via 'Longformacus'... what a name! I see from Google Maps!

Enjoy the space and freedom :>)

... or 'Godforsakeus' - as some of the cheekier locals call it! 

[pete757]

Perhaps a rename as 'Evoraforus' might be on the cards soon then!

Had the S for a week now - and absolutely love it!

It's a 2011 model with 15k miles.

I had early thoughts about customising the car with black-packs, black wheels, black lettering, red calipers, etc. but I'm starting to think that it looks really classy the way it is, so I might well leave it alone.  

It needs a louder voice though, so a 2bular full system is on it's way!  

Almost the exact twin of my 2011 S - and I thought mine was low mileage with 21,000!  Interesting that yours has silver door handles rather than the standard body-coloured ones.  I think silver was the standard on the launch cars but was then phased out.  Roads look fantastic.  Here's mine in another natural Lotus habitat:

Looks good Tom!  But then I would say that!  😉

I seem to recall reading somewhere that body coloured door handles were a £400-ish option on the early S.  😮  

I'm pretty happy with the spec of my car.  An Alpine ILX-700 and reverse-camera arrived today, and I'll get that fitted once the double-DIN supports arrive from Lotus - the only other thing that I *might* do is get the cloth covered lower panels re-trimmed to match the uppers.  I've been quoted £1200 (which seems quite reasonable).

A couple of photos from our visit to Gotland earlier this Summer. Beautiful island, although a bit dusty due to being a limestone rock...

A friend just posted this up as a 'memory' on Facebook.

It's from 2 years ago at the Royal Deeside Speed Festival - I didn't see it when she originally posted it and it's the first time I've really heard what my P&J sounds like from the outside, exhaling through its 2bular with the valve open.

Crank the volume up to 11!

I'm sure that there was something else there that's missing in that shot 🤔

Well, if you insist on parking next to the bins....  🤣

I wouldn't call an Evora a bin!?!

Lotus equivalent of the Terminator?

Shouldn’t one headlight be red then? 🙂

Out for a drive around God's own roads and took these when parked up having a nice pot of tea!

[Barrykearley]

Hard to believe that’s a 4 seater car

[C8RKH]

That's because it isn't!

[trcm]

I liked the look of the GTs front so much, but I can’t possibly afford one, so I did the best I could to ape the look and rid myself of the ugly plastic number plate mount, partially hiding my rusting grill too!

I like it, so please don’t tell me I’ve seriously impeded the airflow to the radiator

You've seriously impeded the air flow to the radiator 

[trcm]

😭

[TonyKL]

that's quite a toothy grin going on there

Great “Fire Red” minds think alike @C8RKH - (sorry not an Evora admin) I was there on that exact spot facing the other way last month 😄

[pete757]

'Fire Red' REALLY suits both cars. Very Nice. 😎👍

Suggestion... Get a 'Personalised' plate like 'C8 RKH' has. Then get it cut down by 'Fancy Plates'... fit that for the look and get much better airflow... 

[C8RKH]

Mine is 100% legal too as is @stephenwhyte's.

You could also Dremel out the letters at the front to allow more air in!!!
