2012 Lotus Evora S 2+2, 6-speed manual (VIN SCCLMDSU9CHA10638)
Starlight Black Metallic, Black leather interior with Red contrast stitching/piping, Red brake calipers


The time has come! I have been infatuated with this car since the day I bought it back in 2012, so much so that I just bought another one, a new Evora 400. Since I have an Elise dedicated for the track already, and the Evora 400 is replacing this Evora S as my street car, it's time for me to put my baby up for sale and make my garage less cluttered.

If you were waiting for an impeccably maintained and well sorted '12+ Evora S with manual transmission, this is the car for you.


Price: $58,900. Original MSRP: $90,740. Car is located in Dallas, TX
• RARE! 1 of only 53 Evora S’s imported to US for model year 2012
• No accidents, garaged, washed/waxed by hand only with Zaino products. Fully sorted and extremely reliable.

• 20,376 miles as of today, original/1-owner, purchased new from Park Place Lotus in December 2012
• Supercharged 3.5L V-6, 345 horsepower, 6-speed manual, RWD
• This is one of the last 2012s made (May 2012 build date), which includes all of the 2012+ improvements (shift cables) and without the cost-cutting changes in the 2013/2014s (ie still includes brushed dark aluminum Lotus sill kickplates).
• Fully loaded with all factory options (Premium Pack Sport, Tech Pack, Backup Camera, Gloss Black Forged Wheels, Metallic Paint, Cruise Control, Power-fold mirrors)

Can verify, as I work at the shop where it's serviced.

Jason takes care of his stuff, and he's never skimped on the maintenance. Someone is going to end up with a great car here!

What a gorgeous Evora. I'd love a 400 but I think that in the right spec and colour the S1 is a better looking car.

Whoever picks up this car will be getting a steal. Meticulously maintained by the loving owner and serviced at one of the best Lotus shops in the nation. I have know Jason and this car since almost the beginning of our MY12 ownerships, when we each drove 75 miles to meet up and compare notes on our purchases.

Having seen this car in person numerous times I can attest to the fact that this is one of the most well cared for cars I have seen. It always looks brand new every time I see it. Mods are tasteful, not ricey or anything like that. The carbon covers are excellent quality, I recall the owner trying to show me some imperfection in one of them and I just couldn't see what he was talking about (close-up), he returned the part and had a new one installed. Of all the Evoras I have seen, this is the best example out there.
