The price increase isn't too bad, since most of the necessary options are included.

Early tests (I cannot stand Steven Sutcliffe for some reason) seem to suggest the puffer relieves the engine of its utter blandness, which was the Evora's only real weak spot.

And yes, the gearshift ought to be slightly better.

The shutlines I can live with; but only just. Coming from Honda, the PQ IS a bit on an issue. Or it would be if I were paying that much for a car.

Buy it's part of the charm; one could just go out & buy a souped-up mass-produced blandbox for the money & forgo the exclusivity and tactility of the Lotus, if one were so inclined.

 

Hey Mark - had a call from Ben and the "S" arrives at Westover at the end of the month, he has invited me over for an early test drive if you are around then?

 

Will be about 10 days after that for me

I'd be interested to see what the deal is if you can post up!

 

but of course! am off 10th December too so hope they will have it in time!
