Lotus Evora IPS

This 2011 Lotus Evora uses the Toyota-sourced 3.5-litre V6 mounted behind the cabin, with 280 hp sent to the rear wheels. It has the six-speed IPS automatic, which has steering wheel paddles for manual changes. That makes it the easier-going Evora, and it keeps the bonded aluminium chassis and the ride and steering that earned the model its following.

The car is finished in Graphite Grey with a Paprika leather interior. Specification includes Recaro sports seats with heating, a Kenwood stereo with DAB and Apple CarPlay, a reversing camera with parking sensors, and bi-xenon headlights with washers. Wheels are 18-inch at the front and 19-inch at the rear.

It has covered 45,328 miles and has thirteen services on record. These come from Lotus main agents and specialists, and the most recent was at 42,602 miles by Seriously Lotus. The dealer serviced it in 2015 and 2016. The MOT history shows thirteen consecutive passes, and a history check reports no outstanding finance and no write-off record. The listing also mentions a 3-month warranty.
