Sports racers are the best ones @Unicorn because they are both sporty and um... Racery? Anyway, they are the best ones, you did well to choose it over a 400.

I thought they are not different mechanically, but all options included with black roof and sills

Hi @Unicorn,

I'm just down the road from you in Burry Port and have a  Exige - your more than welcome to pop down for a cuppa and a chat if your passing through!

Cheers,

Mark

Sssshhhh...! Are you trying to ruin the mystique of special editions!?

But, basically, you are correct. They are the same as the 2012+ with all options, but you'll be lucky to find a non sports racer in that spec, they didn't sell many because the SR pack was a cheaper way to do it.

LOTUS EVORA V6 3.5 VVTI 2+0  £24495

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144304701344?hash=item21993affa0:g:6BcAAOSwYFhhnlMa

Before we start, it's priced this low because it's a CAT D from 2015 and fully repaired in 2016 when it was put back on the road by the previous owner. I bought it in 2017 and it has never bothered me in the slightest and if it doesn't bother you either then read on...

That is the one & only photo on that listing. Hmmm, I suspect that the seller might need a few more if he/she wants to persuade someone to part with £25k. 
 

@p4cks, is that your car?

[p4cks]

It is indeed.

Also, second paragraph in the ad explains "better/more photos to follow" because I listed it before I'd given it a wash (will do this at the weekend, weather permitting) and I certainly wouldn't expect anyone to part with more than the asking price either

I suspect that ‘Storm Arwen’ will say otherwise.

Alan, thanks for your feedback on my badly written ad. Would you care to use specific examples as how better it could be written please as I'm slightly confused. The ad also states the car is a 2010 (check out the 'item specifics' section) but I shall make it clear in the title and also the description so as to avoid confusing other people like you. Thanks again.

really couldnt see the date of manufacture and assumed 2015 but my mistake 2010 clearly there when nudged in the right direction (which was the reason by describing it as badly written) so my humble appologies !! but so as been said some more pics would certainly help ??

[p4cks]

I like the photos in my for sale adverts to be uniform and in the same location rather than a hodge-podge of library shots so once I get the chance, there'll be loads more.

[windymiller]

dont forget one with a dog in the passenger foot well appaels to people named "barry" 😁 @Barrykearley

[fillpoke]

I'm interested in Steven's car but a bit concerned about it being a Cat D (I realise that the price reflects that of course!). I asked Steven if he knew who carried out the repair but unfortunately since it was before his time he doesn't. Just wondering if anyone on here knows the past history of the car and perhaps could answer that question for me. Thanks.....

[Barrykearley]

I was a careful owner and never ever had an animal in the car - I never drove it hard either.

Our 50kg+ choccy Lab often travelled in the back of my +2 Evora. He fitted no problem but preferred the room in the Merc and the window down to stick his head out. RIP Sherman, you were the best.

[windymiller]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh😑

[p4cks]

Managed to find some old photos in the interim. Sadly, no dogs in footwells or even in the background of any of them, other than me Clio 

[windymiller]

Photo shop one in !!!! 😁

Hendy Exeter -  Grey 2015 S IPS   £49495.

No pics yet.

May have to go and see them - not tried an IPS......

[Ba55uma]

Try it.. just don't go with an expectation that the gear changes are DCT or ZF super fast.. they are quite smooth and once you get into the rhythm, using the paddles is just as engaging as a manual drive. Blips on downshifts are the best. 

[DaveAngel]

Crickey! That is close to 400 money….

[Ba55uma]

Hendy shifted one not far off that price..that was in a stunning colour with all the bells and whistles...  turns out the original Evora in immaculate condition are just as  desirable as 400s

I think any immaculate Evora around £50-55k or less sells. I also think the market has gently woken up to what great cars they are too.
