Difficult to resist at Evora after CTE's summary.

I keep finding myself drawn to this highly spec'd one. The dealer was taking a bit of a gamble specifying their demo in spearmint, but I prefer a bold colour to black, grey or white. I guess the colour has limited appeal so would have to be a long term keeper.

Would be interesting to see in the flesh as the colour won't come across in photos. I like bright coloured cars, but it looks a bit hideous, although I suspect it might work in real life!

One thing I find about cars in general is it's impossible to see the standard features versus any that are options unless you have a uni degree in the trim levels and a very good memory! What is highly specced about this one?

Cheers

It might be more hideous in the flesh.

I went on the Lotus website to find the options and prices for current model. According to the ad this example appears to have nearly all the options ticked.

Just did the same. Of the 12 odd additional price options, I could only see carbon roof included.
Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place.

Think with the GT410 Sport its usually the other way round to normal, Lotus create a highly optioned car and you can remove at no extra cost items to make it more "raw" if you like.

In the case of the GT410 Sport it came with sat nav, sub woofer, sound proofing etc.. I think you could choose to remove it and "add lightness" at no cost.

Having a quick browse through that listing I'm not sure what other options the GT410 sport could be spec'd with? custom coloured stitching maybe? and maybe upgrade shock to Ohlins 3 way adjustable?

According to the Lotus configerator the car I was referring to appears to have the following options;

Special paint
Carbon roof
430 wheels
Premium pack
Interior colour pack
Colour stitching
Subwoofer and amp.

Thanks, I must have been hard of reading when I looked, doh!

Looking at the car again, I reckon it'll look good in the flesh. I sat in the Bell and Collvill dark gray one with the tan leather interior which surprised me how nice it was to be in. But a bright body colour makes the cars look good.

Hi Bert,

The colour makes a huge difference on these cars. I don't like black or silver . When I was looking a few weeks ago I went for one in red with the black pack and black leather. I think this combo is very nice on a Evora.

Yes, I've re-looked at the B&C one on their website and whilst I really like the interior, it looks very underwhelming on the outside!

I love the tan interior. Think black is a bit claustrophobic. However I like met black paintwork, especially with gold wheels, lettering etc.
That grey and tan car looks great and good value, but not keen on grey😞
