Evora market watch, for discussion and to help those searching!

That is true @tim_marra, I had them on my NA and they attracted dirt like nothing else.

@rambo it is supposed to give a bigger flat floor area for improved aero but on the road I doubt you would ever notice, debatable on track. They look good though and Lotus developed them for the GT race car.

[Rambo]

Aaahhh, I see. Not my kind of thing. Happy with them on the house though.

I love my boards yes little dirt collectors but nothing the occasional wipe sorts ! I keep the BOI Induction too gives the NA a little extra character especially if mated to trick exhaust and a certainty if you don’t have sports button

This great looking, one owner early car has just come on, it doesnt say if its 2+2 but I assume from the price it is?

[jerzybondov]

If I was in the market for one I’d be all over this. Great colour combo too.

[mcdonaa]

Bargain with 22k miles on. Won't hang around long I think.

[C8RKH]

It just needs c. £300 spent on fitting the cruise control - essential for a GT like the Evora. Looks superb.

[mayevora]

I’d sell him mine for half that. - Still never used it. 

[jep]

Total bargain. You could do 25000 miles with that and it's still worth what you paid with probably very little costs. 

Even with 100,000 miles on it in a few years, it's still worth £25k all other things being equal. 

What a bargain way to enjoy one of the world's greatest ever sports cars.

PS. Cocobolo still a better interior 😊

Gone already by the looks of it.... 

It did look good 👍

[mcdonaa]

Someone got a great car by the looks of it!

A nice red 2010 NA has appeared https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202303255622856

Needs a little bit of TLC but the price is nice.  I'd be tempted if it wasn't the other side of the country from me.

Terrible photos and very little effort to clean the interior. Airbag popping. Launch Edition but badge not shown, not that Launch Edition should be relevant to value, though some have a phycological preference for LE. 

The colour combo doesn't do it for me.

That red NA, AU10BHN has been discussed twice on TLF; in 2017 and 2020. Links to the relevant pages below.

From memory the car spent some time in the East Midlands (Mansfield I believe) around 2017-2020 as far as I can remember.

I see that the indicator repeaters are still the wrong way round 😄.

Very reasonable price given that a few hundred quid will make it tidy. 👍

" Cambelt / Timing belt Changed"

Hmmm....am I missing something? 🤔

[EuropaSman]

Not sure it's a Launch Edition. Registered April 2010. Could one registered late on, but can't see it listed on the Launch Edition Register thread. I've got a feeling that it could be an ex-factory car. Either that or it's customer car originally sold by Stratton Motor Company.

If the VIN shows it's a MY10 car then it's not a Launch Edition. If the VIN shows it's a MY09 car then only a Certificate Of Provenance will definitively prove it's a a Launch Edition. 

[EuropaSman]

I think the seller has got their terminology mixed up about the belt replacement. They probably mean to say that the ancillary belt was changed.

As for A++ condition....er no. I'd say more like C+ condition. And why the heck not vacuum the interior and screw the wayward boot net bolt back in before taking photos?

Just found that this vehicle was discussed on Pistonheads back in 2020. It jogged my memory that it had been for sale for ages at Stones Auto Garage in Mansfield.

 

 

[Cdm2018]

Think the seller was in hurry or got their facts mixed up in the description 

I think it mentions two replacement brake pad & discs in a short time ? 
however when you are now looking at a rare car and there’s been only a handful of ardent red coming up you might want to look at this in flesh to assess its provenance ?

if all the major elements have truly been sorted the remainder are cosmetic and nothing a stage 2 paint correction can’t sort externally  

[exeterjeep]

Not far from me - about 15 miles and must be quite close to @Markindevon may be good for a spare.

Agreed, my instinct upon looking at the ad was that there was an inconsistency between info, photos and ‘A++’ condition!

[Troyboy]

Sorry I can't attach a link but Silverstone Lotus have an Evora GT430 advertised. It's metallic grey at £100k.

Excuse my ignorance, but what us a "Halo" car?

[jerzybondov]

Just term used to describe a fancy pants model that makes the rest of a firm’s products look better by association.

Evija, for example!

[Rambo]

Thanks 👍
