Sorry Campbell, but it was a red or white one I was after. And sorry too Simon. I had viewed the car the previous weekend as my sale was in process of going through. In negotiating on Thursday they did say there was someone else lined up to view it - must have been you.
The car is in mint condition, the previous owner being a bit of a star of the stage and spending most of the last few years performing all over the world, so only did 800 miles last year and 1k the year before when back in the UK. Whilst hoping for a white car, getting an ice white is a bonus - it's stunning when all polished up. Re exhaust, coming from a 2bular, I'm finding the standard exhaust very quiet. Been reading about it being possible to put a decat pipe in place of the 3rd cat with little impact on emissions. Might do that as an easy start, although appreciate that's just noise rather than performance. It's not going on track anyway.
Also reading about the groans of the Alpine unit, it's actually not that bad once you take time to learn it. I've got the Bluetooth working, my phone contacts downloaded and managed to switch off the annoying voice interruption to the radio from the sat nav if you happen to do 61 in a 60, or 31 in a 30. I've also got electric gates to the drive and an electric garage door so loving the Homelink which again all connected up first time. Programmed the CDL to auto lock on move off also.
All in, a very promising start to Evora ownership.... And I haven't even tried the SPORT button yet.
