The interior pictures are from an old advert.

Oh it's that car!
That took ages to sell originally. It was advertised for at least a year I think.

Clearly it's not that desirable. Lacks sport, tech packs and is a plus zero.

Arguably over priced before. Now seemingly good value. My at strange. Maybe it hides a sinister secret!

It does tick all of the 'negative options' boxes. If you get it cheap enough it's still a fabulous car (not commenting on that one as I have no reference for that specific car) just be aware that resale will take some time as it's going to a rare person who wants one but is willing to buy the 'undesirable' one.

Has anyone ever put a human in the +2 seats?
2+2 was the big draw for me, My girls 12 and 14 still go in mine. Eldest is 5'5 now and at the limit. She just fits behind the passenger seat if it's all the way forward.

It's definitely a squeeze but the big plus is we can take the Evora to car shows, whereas when I had a 2 seater we arrived in the family wagon.

2+2 arrangement was the whole reason we bought ours. Did Goodwood today with our 3 year old and he loves going in the back of it.
Will actually be easier to fit him in there once he's a bit big and in a less bulky Group 2 car seat.

I've sat in the back once when my wife said she'd pick me and a friend up from the pub and then showed up in the Evora. 5 miles was enough - my neck has just about recovered.

Have tried to call a few times and no answer - maybe that's why it isn't selling?

I've called a load of times too - left messages and never a response. All very odd... but anyway, just picked up a lovely 2010 NA which is every bit as good as I'd hoped!

It does look cheap but whilst it has premium there is no tech pack and I wonder whether it might also lack Sport which is pretty much essential and a bit of a sales killer I imagine? - that's the only explanation I can think of as to why it's stuck around as otherwise it looks nice (though not personally convinced about the oyster interior accents)

I recently sold my early N/A 2+0 for 4k more within 24 hours of advertising it so I think that particular 'thing' may be overplayed. If the car is right in all other respects I don't think it matters to most as 2+0 config arguably makes it a 'proper' sports car - just think of it as an advance version of the Emira!
Where did you advertise yours?
