Considering an Evora

[ChimpOnGas]

I'm a TVR guy to the core, but recently I've found myself seriously considering an Evora, it's the first affordable British sports car I've been temped by since TVR as we knew it folded.

What I really want is a 400, but what I can realistically afford is this...

So how far off the 400 would it be?

And how far off the 400 would it be if I was able to secure this rather high mileage 'S' for say £30k or less, and a year later managed to find an additional £5k to give it this....

I know the Evora has evolved considerably since it's release, but I guess what I'm really asking is... Exactly how much did the Evora evolve between the 'S' an the 400?

And how close will adding the Hangar 111 EV410 kit to the 'S', get me to the well rounded and developed Evora 400 experience?

Thanks chaps, great info.

amongst other things I wasn't aware the 'S' didn't get a charge cooler, and that one only arrived with the 400. All very interesting detail on the Evora, a car I see as the best affordable and usable British sports car since TVR folded and obviously one of far more advanced design and dynamics.

I prefer my engines in the front but the Evora is tempting me to reconsider this, the new TVR is still a way off and a many years away from being a used car within my budget, so perhaps it's time now for me to try an Evora and see if I like it as much as the recipe suggests I should.

Thanks again, Dave.
