I purchased the Blue 59 plate at Derby cars smile Generally not in bad condition for the age and milage, but is now at Williams Automobiles having both windows sorted, drivers side window went doolally the second day I had it! And passenger one refused to drop and wise when opening and closing. The garage said they would pay though.

About the price I sold my 2014 one in the summer. Mine was a much better colour though

Did you have a 400?

No. Sports Racer S IPS, but it had a 400 front end, previous owner got a small crack in a car park, and original shape bumpers were on such a long back order he went for the 400. TBH I think the 400 looks better so I was happy.

Agree with you there, I didn’t know they were interchangeable. I’ve deposited on the grey Autotrader one so could be a future upgrade.

I agree with you in the colour, I love the grey but the blue is something else. Hope I’m happy with my choice

They are great cars. Part of me regrets selling mine as the colour is very rare, but I had to scratch the Ferrari itch

Pricing does seem a little hit and miss on the Evoras - there's also been a 2015 NA IPS on Autotrader for ages, now down to £35995. It's almost like there are two camps - those who really want/need to sell and those who are just punting to see what they can get...

Congrats, they are fantastic cars. The grey one couldn’t have been on autotrader long if you purchased it.

Thanks, it was for sale less than a day when I made contact.

I was in talks with Silverstone Lotus on a launch edition and they were and have been amazing.

This one came up for not much more money and the deal was a good one to make me spend over my initial budget.

Still lot actually driven one though but I’m sure it will be better than my expectations

Itching for this lockdown to end so I can properly get out in mine. Owned for over two years now and still love it. Make sure to press the sport button!

Lotus Silverstone are very good. Probably the best car dealer and service centre I have ever dealt with.

Isn’t it the same procedure as registering a jap import?

Just to update, no movement on anything since the New Year. NA manual cars - 4 available, all since last year.

Only event logged is a price drop on the red car (AU10BHN) from £24,000 to £23,500. That car has been on sale with Cedar Specialist Cars for 60 days now, prior to that it was up as a private sale and looks to have been through multiple hands in 2020 either by sale multiple times, or a variety of sale-or-return processes.
that red one @ 23.5k needs the chrome bits doing body colour, sports racer wrap and black wheels and it would have sold by now IMO

Agree. I'm surprised it's hung around this long with the price now having dropped to a reasonable point and a clutch change done. Maybe it's the looks as you say; I'd settle for just the doorhandles sorting TBH. I'm not sure how happy I'd be buying a car that's been static on a forecourt for 9 months or more though, that can't have done it's condition any favours.
