I’m due to take delivery of my A110 this week.

Went for a great spec Pure in White which ticked all my needs.

Going to daily it as My Evora was not a daily and I work to hard to continue to use a smart car for another year.

I’ll post some images when it arrives this week.

O and I’ve never driven one so I hope it’s good

That is brave but I’m confident you won’t be disappointed. Look forward to hearing your first impressions

I'm hoping to take delivery of mine in the next few weeks too. I've only driven one very briefly in the pouring rain. I planned on a longer test drive at some point but Covid kept stopping it from happening! I'm sure it will be fab!! Can't wait.

Congratulations both, you won’t be disappointed. Be good to see some piccies when you get them.

Just thinking aloud.....

At the top end with new colour edition S models costing around £67K, do owners think they are worth that much?

I have a standard car coming which is £61ish. (Legende)
Didn't want an S, but I had a £50k pure, in white, 18 months ago. Sold it to buying something else, knowing that I liked it enough to spec one to keep.
That's what's coming, and on that basis I was happy to pay for the spec I want, inc atelier colour. Expensive maybe, but nothing else I want for same £.

How much are the antellier colours?

[footsoldier]

£4440 inc VAT

[craigjm]

I like the purple Tulipe Noire I think it would go great with the gold wheels and accents off the Legende GT. shame you are stuck with blue stitching inside that might look a bit odd with a purple body colour on the inside of the doors

[footsoldier]

That's what I have, but with silver wheels and gold callipers

Oh yeah I’ve seen the mock ups. Looks a great colour

[footsoldier]

Yes I couldn’t remember if posted them on here before and too many pages to look! Will post some real pics when it arrives

To anyone waiting for delivery - it goes without saying but don’t judge the car until you are through the running in period. I ran the car in using sport mode but just kept my right foot light. I thought as it was more likely to hold a gear the engine would use the limited rev range more rather than sit around the same revs

Any reason you didn't/wouldn't daily your Evora?

I'd endorse that. If my car is representative, the engine gets more flexible and the lag reduces as the miles mount. Low rev response improves markedly with 99 octane fuel.

i always use 99 octane fuel, it drives much better and seems to significantly improve mpg.

[Miserablegit]

Incidentally I use shell as that was the only 99 available locally- I understand one or two others might have moved their premium to 99 - any views?

I’m 6ft 1 and getting in and out is a nightmare.

I’ve also not bonded with it as well as I thought I would. As a toy for the weekend it’s superb but I also struggle with the build quality of it. It’s getting on some now being 8 years old.

Superb looking car and drives well, just want something modern which is a little more usable daily.

The later Evora 410 I tried had lower sills and ( I thought) was the car I would have bought as a daily (or at least the 400 version) had I not preferred the A110.

I think a 410 would have suited me too but I’ve not read so many glowing reports from so many places about a single car..... ever.... and I had to have the Alpine.

I believe time is running out to own such cars, last of a dying breed and time are changing so fast.
