Lowest Mileage UK Spec Evora Launch Edition?

[EuropaSman]

Could this be the lowest mileage UK Spec Evora Launch Edition out there in the wild right now? Interesting that it's got chrome door handles, as I thought that colour coded ones were part of the Premium pack originally.

By my man maths that's about 500 miles a year on average and beats my LE by 10600 miles!

Didn't realise they are that expensive, are these a good buy then?

Oh yes! They tend to be over looked and underrated by those not in the know.

I've had my Evora a year and I'm loving it!!! It is a lot of car for the money, not very common and always a head turner.

As Clarkson said back in 2009/10 "it presses all the right super car buttons", it's "a killer attack dog and an old sofa" and "the bargain of the century".

Praise indeed, and on that bombshell.....

IMHO it's a shame that one has done so few miles - think of all that barely warmed oil that has been wasted over 5+ services, and the tyres will have gone off, rather than worn out!

I suspect that the niggles won't have been shaken out. Personally, several thousand more miles would give me more peace of mind.

Great value. A lot of car for the money.

I bet the owner was a touch irked that the only time it has been on wet roads was when it was delivered!

That one is well overpriced. Plenty of cracking examples that are newer, have had niggles sorted and are cheaper. At that money you can get a 2011 S model.

Also I suspect the the OP is the seller.....given his identical car in this thread:

Cheapest right hand drive S is £1000 more and is a pretty low internal spec and highish miles, typically an S with launch edition level of spec would be near £38k. Lotus Silverstone have an S at £36k, but it has been messed about with inside and lacks cohesion in terms of materials and colours.

It's the most expensive currently available on PH Classifieds when limiting to Non-S cars:

Until yesterday, there was an orange 2011 spec n/a at the scary price of £38,500, bit I agree the price is toppy and assume that is because of the ultra low mileage

Not unless he's changed his door handles to chrome plus he mentions his has 10k more miles

Cheers XBOW! Yep, I'm the OP and mine just happens to be aquamarine blue, but it has an oyster interior (a better combination IMHO). I'm just curious to find out if there are any other low mileage Launch Editions out there (maybe with an eye on what I suppose we could now call the Evora S1 as a future classic now that the 400 is on its way).

Yes, the price of the other one is high, but that is because of the low ultra mileage; speaking to a car dealer a few years back about what affects used car prices, the largest factor so I was told was mileage. The 3000 miler might need to have some niggles sorted (mine had to have a new aircon condenser after a leak was found during its MOT six months after I bought it, there again my Seat shopping trolley had its ABS hydraulic unit play up after four years - poo happens with cars no matter who put them together), but there again it could be a peach.

Mine is snuggled up in my garage waiting for me to drive it! Here's a photo I took on Bank Holiday Monday after I awoke it from its winter hibernation. Boy did it turn a lot of heads! I ain't selling for a loooooong time. :-)
