Wish I could! just bought a car for my wife, need to buy one for daughter as she is 17 soon and am funding junior mk1 through unit, plus Brexit has stuffed up 2016 profits.

Even my twisted logic can't find a way at the moment, I haven even said no to Aimee

Interest at 3% , just pay that on delta from yours, then start paying capital once you are sorted. What are we talking , £90 a month to enjoy a new toy ...you know you deserve it wink

What a beautiful car !

Congratulations Dave, I'm going to try and avoid being jealous as I'm so thrilled with mine, but that is really lovely.

Hey you are getting more bang for buck, so enjoy it. However beware it's a slippery slope once you start enjoying Lotus cars, as you'll struggle to move away ..... My 5th Lotus in 3 years. Anyone got a number for a shrink ??

Congrats, not generally a fan of white cars, but that does look rather gorgeous.

I've also gone for the red interior and IPS, but BRG. Picking up on 1st Sept as I at least managed the discipline to wait until it'd pick up a "66" plate. (also gave me time to get the private plate off my current Evora and the dealer time to sort out the PPF for me)

Looks great cool

White looks superb on evoras with the black pack. (It was originally my second choice, but I'm delighted an SR came up in this colour)

Picked up this Saturday...have to be careful for 1000 miles but have to say I am really impressed so far. This is my 3rd Evora, and they are all great, but this is a step up...not just performance, but the overall build quality...I think it can justify its price tag.
I had barge bards fitted to protect the lower paintwork from the inevitable chips and tar...you can catch your ankle, but once your brain has engaged, they are no bother.

Looks very familiar biggrin

I've had my Essex Blue Hethel Ed for a couple of weeks now, I'm at 1350miles, due for first service on Friday biggrin It's a fantastic car, and that's coming from an older Evora too, so I already knew how good the Evora was as a car.

Some pics here:

Looks lovely...I was unsure about the stripes...I would not normally go for such embellishments, but they seem to fit with silver wheels.

The blue looks even better in the "flesh" as it were...

That looks really nice Dave, well done. I didn't like the back of the 400 initially but now I think it is lovely.

Will need to get Mr Harries to sort out a run and I will join you for a look at it.
