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

[Jonathan Ashcroft]

Since deciding to hang onto mine until the market calms down a bit I've replaced our Evoque with an L322 4.2sc Range Rover. Therfore the Lotus is now the most economical car in the household which means I genuinely have to think whether I should take the Evora or the 'sensible' car. Elite is of course not great on the mpg as it seems to vent half of the tank into the air as you drive around 😂

Looks reasonably priced for the mileage but not much to go on with the description!

Congrats, glad you found the right one. Sounds great. They are such brilliant cars. If it's got an original non sports exhaust I'd highly recommend you speak to 2bular ASAP 😉

Thanks Jonathan, should be a good car hopefully. Yours is lovely, so deciding to kept isn't a bad thing (I'd actually thought it was gone long ago).

The blue one has the Lotus stage 1 I think, it has titanium tips anyway and is just the right level of loud for me.

Looks good value, airbag cover looks quite lifted though.

I think it may go for a bit more than tbe starting price!

What's going on with the front bumper?

[wooooody]

That's been on autotrader fire about a month at £30k. Now removed. 

[Benny90210]

Maybe a poor repair after a front end impact? Or extra cooling 😉

[EuropaSman]

That's early Evora front bumper droop/sag on that yellow Evora. Mine's got that but not to such an extent. It doesn't affect all early cars though. Someone had come up with a mod for that and posted on this forum.

As mentioned, the yellow Evora has been on the market for a few weeks already. A non sports car used car seller near Swadlincote, not far away from where I live, had it up for sale. Maybe it's going to auction because the used car dealer wasn't able to flip it.

This looks a nice car.

I am in no way connected to it.  Apologies if it has been discussed already.

They have made a slight mistake with the advert as it is not a Sports Racer, it’s a really well specced Evora S with a expensive option list and probably better for it, there are not many about, the main giveaway is the full leather interior with no Alcantara. Looks a great car with good history, you can say any Evora’s or Lotus are bargain’s especially when you see what some inferior and ropey so called fast Fords are demanding at the moment.

Spotted this at Lotus Kent this afternoon, very nice

Is that the one with blue trim? It's lovely but a tough sell. Hendy Poole had it for sale for a long time when new or nearly new. 

I love it.

[exeterjeep]

yes... outside white is fine, interior another matter.

Nice orange MG4 trophy behind.

I challenged this with the seller. I agree, it is not a SR.....but the V5 says it is. The certificate of provenance does not mention SR. 

It was built July 2012 but registered April 2013. I don't think SR were in production until 2013 and they were not announced to the media until around May 2013.

SR's began to arrive Q4 of 2012, around the time I collected my S when new in Sept 2012.

[jep]

MY13 though? Which would be September 2012 built onwards? 

The car on PH is I assume MY12 as built July 12. Registered April 13.

[Cdm2018]

My V5 say I got Sports Racer and it’s a 2010 ! Lol 

I know my ugly child will be pleased to be known as a sports racer 

[Barrykearley]

Mines the same @Cdm2018

[Edmundo2]

Anyone know what the final bid was? Not familiar with PH auctions as they're new but seemingly unlike Collecting Cars it doesn't show "winning bid" etc..

When I last looked it was at £31k

[jep]

Weird layout on Pistonheads auctions. If you click on the link for this Evora and scroll down, a window pops up with the final bid. 

I assume it did not reach the reserve, as showing £31,250. I would think private sale, this is a £40k car, perhaps less but certainly not a £31k. Premium is 6% + vat.
