Evora market definitely seems constrained

Dad is looking for one.

Ideally £40-45k, last of the SportRacer SC or maybe first of the 400s.
He's looking for a bright colour (not black/white/grey).

Yes, I got a surprise to see how constrained the Evora market appeared, particularly against the 113 Emira's for sale but also Exige.

What jumped out at me was the complete lack of colour available. As you say, black,  white or grey only.

 

[EGTE]

I'm selling a Green one.

[Daveb99]

And I’m picking up a silver one soon (all being well !).

[Techyd]

They are sensational in silver 🙂

So has the high mileage Evora

The high miler "Hannah" is back on the market. Either a buyer pulled out or the listing g had expired. Looks like the price has dropped a touch.

great option. I would say PX is about 37K. The owner better have tried to sell this privately

Mileage is slightly high but appears a very good price plus an indication of marketplace:

Plus I see the grey 2015 S sports racer with 16k miles has dropped in price to £38.5K. That was £44k earlier this year, nice looking car but too close to 400 price territory now.

[pete]

9 years old ,averaging 4000 miles a year and high mileage?

[TdM]

I don't really understand the mileage obsession and never have to be honest on any car

[570S]

Pales into insignificance compared to the Porsche GT market, cars are ruined apparently at +20k miles...

This one is a bright one! Someone has spent a good amount on that conversion I would imagine, looks nicely done though.

We owned that car from new, till upgrading to an S in 2014. Interestingly it has also had rear seats fitted to go with it's new nose and tail as it definately started life as a 2+0. This picture show it on the day we transferred the reg and picked up the S.

I'd be very cautious of those rear seats then as the factory, iirc, was adamant that a +0 could not be converted to a +2 as the anchor points were not added to the +0 chassis.

[Bibs]

Interesting and cheap 400...

I thought/hoped that the factory had homogenised production parts where possible.  There certainly isn't a different partial body (chassis) part listed for +2 or +0.

Prototype on the logbook 🙄  Another car that fell out the back door!

[Bruss]

Re the rear seats. My plus 2 does not have the mounting points for seat belts that are attached to the chassis/rearframe. Rear seats can be fitted but not seat belts. you would need to add some kind of approved seat belt/harness fixings behind/beneath the seat.

 

 

 

 

[DH2]

Ah the SBAF is different.  That explains it.  Yeah non-starter that would be.  As you say, you could put the seats in there, but not the belts.

Looks like bit of a cut'n'shut to me (especially with those back seats). 🫣

F&R replacement bumpers don't look oem to me, nor does the engine hatch...

[Bruss]

None of its original Tim. It’s a bitsa. How well done you’d have to examine it to see. It may be done well and priced right, or it may be a dog. It would be worth looking at if you like the outside appearance, but its not in any way from the factory. 

[tim_marra]

Yeah I agree. It looks a tad shonky to my eyes, as non of the bits resemble oem in looks regardless of quality.

I do love the oem 410/430 look, but the S1 is a timeless style that will good always (much like a Macca 12c compared to what followed).

[Techyd]

I feel like we've seen this mix and match yellow one before on the classifieds not too long ago?

I agree with that, I also feel its gone a big show with less go! 
 

Hadn’t realised that the seats werent just a swap in/out item.

It was for sale for a long time on car and classic website and eBay when I was looking for an Evora last year. I quite like the 430 front bumper but this appears to be a non OEM version from hethelsport as the central mouth is slightly taller and looks to have non OEM grille. It just doesn’t look right on the car to me.
