I remember Campbell's blue Evora was a beauty but also took a while to move. They just generally seem to be slower to move on.
I shoulda bloody kept that.
Albeit now it would have 60k miles on it and have cost me a clutch and a couple of large services. Plus some brakes and some air con bits at scary prices?!
Ah the benefit of hindsight.
And yes that colour. Magic times...
A few more miles to go before it gets to 60k and still on the same clutch, it has had all the brakes done though.
How is the new Elise?

Haven't seen the Evora around the Southside for a while?

It’s no Evora.
But it’s very good indeed.
Just need a time machine to manufacture some spare hours to go out and drive it

I had planned on doing some work on it this year and things had started off ok. Then my Mum took ill at Easter before passing in September so here is to a better 2020 when I can it back up and running and get it out there.

Sorry to hear that G
Your car is one of the oldest in the group still running, at least that I can remember - Woody will obviously never get his running again, so we're relying on you and Mac I think!

Mine just needs a battery and fuel to run. Maybe a timing belt now.
Sorry to hear about your mum G.

Just re-read this thread and was puzzled by the feedback that it was hard to sell as it was a +0 and people want a +2, and yet when it seems that a lot of people who move their Evora on, do so for something like a Cayman or an Exige which doesn't have the +2. Just find the two points a bit of a puzzle but then I am easily confused.
