Buying Evora GT 430

[Blackfeather]

Very close to putting a deposit down on a GT 430 . Is there anything I should know/avoid/talk myself out of?

Have had a string of Astons so this will be quite a change but love the feel of it.

Also, it is in a dark metallic green which is fine, but would it be sacrilege to have it wrapped in Gulf colours?

Job done, deposit paid, collect on Friday.

Is there a recommended lotus club - I see there is more than one owners club?

Putting a colour scheme on any Lotus looks best IMO if it's one of their own sponsors. If you don't want black then "Gold Leaf" always seems to work well or even "Essex".

Yes, that's what I am thinking, probably preferring the Gold Leaf livery.

Doers anyone have any experience of good people in that business?

A great choice. I think that you’ll find it very different to your previous Astons. Has the GT430 got the carbon seats or the Sparcos?

You’ll find plenty of other GT430 owners over here: https://www.thelotusforums.com/forums/topic/92021-...

Yes, it's got the carbon seats which, even for a land whale like me, seem pretty comfortable.

Thanks for the steer on the forum.

Love it.
