Thanks for linking my post, I spoke to @Gashead1105and went across to look at the car yesterday. Genuinely is a great car, and I really wanted to love it, but I seem to be the only person who can’t get along with the red interior (I should edit my post though as the red is more of a deal breaker than I thought).

That looks great value, I'm almost tempted to chop mine in for it!

Well finally got it home yesterday and really pleased with it. 
weather was awful for the drive back but the car was fantastic. 
Gave it a wash this morning and have a few very minor jobs to do with it. 
it’s tucked up with its garage mates now.

Another nice tidy garage makes mine look a mess, GT6 mark2/3 ? Almost bought a MK3 many years ago

[ASP123]

Yes it’s a mk3 gt6. That’s much more of an ongoing project though at the moment

Michelin PS4S on mine, which have been excellent, I wouldn't fit anything else. But....

I'm taking it to Silverstone on Monday. 

Wow just see the advertisement going up at Silverstone waiting for photos.

Hendy seem to have a few Evora's in stock at the moment. I looked at B&C stock and they don't seem to have any. I hope that Hendy Exeter become a bit more active over the next few months. Did notice that they have 1 Elise, 1 Exige and 1 Evora hidden behind their Honda showroom.

[Daveb99]

£26k - £28k seems to be the entry point now for early NA’s.  That’s a good chunk more than a few months ago.  Good to see values on the up, though I do wonder whether the launch of the Emira may lead to owners chopping in their Evoras.  So it could become a buyer’s market in a few months time, to an extent.

As an NA owner obviously I hope not (and have no intention of buying an Emira - or effectively renting one via PCP or PCH as many people seem to opt for nowadays).

Loved my NA enjoying the 400 .

[EGTE]

Would love to hear your thoughts on differences between NA and -400. I know the latter is quicker, but talk of it being louder, stiffer and 'angrier' put me off a bit.

Done that change. The 400 is quicker, louder, stiffer and angrier. Hope that helps. 

 

You sit higher, that is not so great. It is more of an event, the noise is a big part of that, but you can close the exhaust flap if that is an issue for longer journeys. It gets more attention. It handles better, but the higher driving position detracts a bit from this. It is a different car. All I can say is try one and make your own mind up. I've no plans to, but I'd be quite happy to be back in an N/A.

[EGTE]

Thanks, Colin.

I think that's good advice and let's face it, Lotus test-drives are no hardship 😀.

[windymiller]

the evora sold from es was bought unseen so they are still in hot demand at mo !! 😁

[Hughesy83]

They have had loads of phone calls this week on that car too. If they are priced right they sell straight away, also nice spec cars go well too.
