Ive seen that colour before, usually the morning after a heavy session on the tennants the night before Mid engined 2+2 cars just look wrong imo, although this one looks better than usual, Id like to see one in the flesh though.

May I ask the general location? I heard about four of the first ten to be delivered in Scotland were coming to Aberdeen, can't wait to see another one.

It appears to have a brake pipe leak

ETA - actually, in all seriousness, and I don't mean to crit your photos, but that might be a goodun for Megy to shoot, if he's sorted out a drive-in studio.

I thought the first 500 had a plaque on them saying which car number it was? Might be remembering wrong though.

There will a been some coming over from that far away border of ours no doubt, it could be the second ordered from Scotland, but even that i doubt...
Still they look really good in the flesh though, someone will be happy with it...

The first customer took home their brand new Lotus Evora on the 1st September, picking up the car in a handover at the Lotus factory in Hethel, Norfolk.

Matt Melling, of Twickenham looked very pleased to be handed the keys by Lotus' Operations Director, Luke Bennett.



BBC's 'Look East', local papers the EDP and the crew producing a very interesting 'Evora Story' documentary were present amongst others for Matt picking up the first customer car. which he ordered in Storm Titanium with Oyster interior with full Premium, Tech and Performance option packs. Both Matt and Andy who travelled from Edinburgh to collect his stunning Burnt Orange Evora were treated to a few laps of the famous Hethel test track in a solar yellow Evora with sports exhaust (sounds very fruity, great noise!) driven by Lotus legend, Roger Becker. Matt takes his car home and Andrew has a 3,000 mile road trip through Europe planned, leaving his current Esprit and Elise at home!

Nice car and great work Ally!

I spoke to the factory around something to do with my Exige and was also told it was car number 2 made - the first one in Scotland - excluding MMC's demo car.

[Connor_scotland]

Thats gorgeous.

sat behind the car at lights in Edinburgh the other day. Looks stunning. I have passed the same car in white every day on the way to work for the last couple of weeks. Okay, it was sat outside the lotus dealer, demonstrator? with a short personalised plate.
