Got my Sagaris back today as well.

Met up with Dom at Baldock and had a great chat. He had very kindly come down to help me with an
issue (there's great service for you! tongue out)

A few small issues to sort out, but nothing major so she'll be along to Duxford show tomorrow and Brooklands next week.

Many thanks to Dom for his help today!

Many thanks to Martin and Skip at Bespoke for helping to complete a few outstanding projects!

Bit creepy at first seeing the bonnet open itself up as you drive along and then close itself with hardly a whisper, but lots of fun biggrin

He's happy to do custom labels in resin which is as good or better than the original ones.

Looks amazing! Which do you use more the evora or the sagaris? I only ask because my sag was a daily drive (not a terribly good choice in retrospect) but I always arrived to work with a smile!

Comparing the driving experience of the Evora and the Sag is like comparing drinking ice cold water on a hot day to drinking lava, they just don't really compare.

I use the Evora as my every day driver. It is a really great car. I know some people think Lotuses are crap, but they haven't tried the Evora. It is a proper car with the chassis excellence of Lotus.

The Sag I drive when I have feel like a bit of fun. I could not use it as my daily driver. Quod os to those who do, but I could not for a number of reasons. I love her, but... tongue out

I went out recently in my friend's MY12 Evora S, and while the interior is much plusher than the Eliges - I didn't see it in 'daily driver' quality levels, if that makes sense, compared to what they are trying to compare to.

In actual fact I thought the Elige interior would stand up better as the (minimal) fit and finish is spot on.

Anyway, Sag looking good!

Hmm, well, mine is on equal with any other "posh" daily driver I've had.

Personally, I don't like the minimalistic bare aluminium floor approach for cars. Maybe a dedicated track car, but nothing else.

Oh, I did have my interior refreshed a bit by non-Lotus trimmer, but just the seats and the door cards. Rest was fine.
