Are Evoras in dealers yet?

[RobM77]

Bell and Colvill told me last weekend they were getting theirs on Tuesday (26th May). Does anyone know if it's there yet, and if any other dealerships have them?

I just phoned and they said it won't be in for a couple of weeks

Great, thanks. I was expecting a flurry of posts once it arrived, so I thought there might be a delay.

I'd only be torturing myself to look at it anyway. I've just bought my first house so won't spend the money for a few years yet!

Rob, time to torture yourself - someone on seloc posted that it arrived.

Stratton's also now have there's, Castle's next week along with Lipscombs

Good write up on Seloc too

I saw the one at Stratton yesterday, and sat in it to see what the interior was like (I thought it was very nice, but a bit on the small side for me and a bit too comfortable for my taste). I'd like to drive one and see what they are really like, but as I am very unlikely to buy one myself that isn't going to happen any time soon ;-( The one at Stratton is in silver which seems to be absolutely the worst colour, they look much more attractive in a more interesting colour. I saw several at Hethel later in the day, and they had a bright yellow one, which looked fantastic.

Hi there,

The local Lotus dealer to me (Peter Smith Sports Cars) has been advertising the pending arrival of its new Evora demonstrator. The car was due to arrive in time for an open weekend this weekend (13th and 14th June). I was heading out that way today on the way to work when a Grey Evora passed me going the other way on the A50, thought I would stop off at the dealership on the way home to see if this was indeed there car.

The Evora was parked outside and looked stunning, here are a few quick pics I took: -













Any of you guys liking the look of these.

Regards

Tim

of all the colours I have seen so far, that's the best for that shape I think (so far).

[dom180]

I think you're right - is that the new Carbon Grey or Graphite?

[Twit]

Still not at all convinced by the design, but that is the best colour I have seen by far.

I agree, nicest colour I've seen for this car. However, doesn't this tell you something about the car - if it looks so less appealling on reds, blues, white etc then it probably isn't very pretty.

Well it isnt! Its a complete lard arse of a car, a huge mess from half way back and bland from the front. But I'm trying to be more positive!!!

Glad I'm not alone in my thoughts. IMO it makes the Nissan GTR look sexy.

[CatherineJ]

That looks lovely and I really like the colour combination.

I agree entirely!!

Looks aren't everything to me, and I'd still own an Evora, but it would annoy me spending over £50k on an ugly car.

I'm picking the other half up from Stansted in the morning, i was planning on making a detour to Castles for a look, quite looking forward to it.

[Sharpy1975]

We at Dick Lovett's in Swindon now have our Evora Demonstrator, which I think looks fantastic. Please contact Jonathan Sharp on [phone] to arrange a test drive.

Here is some pictures of the car


What do you think?

[evo4a]

If its the demo how come its for sale?

[Sharpy1975]

We are taking orders for new cars, but the demo isnt for sale yet as we cant replace the car yet. Did you have a spec you were looking for?
