OK, the benefit of others.... It's not an Evora 400 per say...
It's an early Evora S that has a 400 engine/gearbox from what I can tell.
So, if you are after a lower than average price S, then it might be a good buy.
If you want a half price 400, it's not the one you're looking for
With the gear linkages done? brake upgrades done? Geo altered accordingly?It's an early Evora S that has a 400 engine/gearbox from what I can tell.

Not sure its a simple as just transplanting engine and gearbox, didn't Lotus have to make some changes to spring and damper rates etc to take the additional power?

The car is a 2011 S that Lotus used as the development car for the 400. This isn't an advert so ill bit go through the whole story, but it isn't just a transplanted engine.
It's good value as it is not a showroom example but drives as well as you'd expect a factory Lotus to!

All fingers and thumbs on a phone typing that! Just to set the record straight, this is not a DIY conversion, this car has had one owner, Lotus, and was one of the development cars for the 400 (we have a manual one too but that won't be ready for another 5-6 weeks and is provisionally spoken for). I'd prefer to keep it if I could but the second car needs £'s to complete and so I'm reluctantly probably going to have to part with it. It isn't advertised anywhere as trying to explain what it is and why it is so well priced would be a nightmare, but amongst learned types here, I thought I'd mention it! I have sent details to those that have asked and as already stated, it is a cost effective way into an S, let alone the 400 added benefits!It's good value as it is not a showroom example but drives as well as you'd expect a factory Lotus to!

Looking to make the move to an Evora 400, so mine is now listed on Ph:

2010 Lotus Evora NA (276BHP)
First registered by Lotus Cars themselves in 2010, it was owned and maintained by Lotus as a management car for 2 years, then bought by a private owner in 2012 who traded it against a new Evora S SR at Murray Lotus in late 2014. I purchased the Evora in April 2015.
It has now done 43,500 miles, last serviced by Lotus Silverstone in March 2016. Evora has a full Lotus history, including Lotus directly, Oakmere Lotus and most recently Lotus Silverstone.
MOT until October 2016.
