…so I bought her one… She is thrilled to say the least, and has wanted one for years, especially after all the LOG events she has been to with me. After riding passenger in so many Lotus cars, and driving my Esprit on the rare occasions, she finally has her own Lotus now. We are very fortunate with our connections with Lotus USA, as well as Matt over at Lotus of WNY to make this deal work. And we got the exact car we wanted. The last brand new (#14 of 14) Lotus Evora S GP Edition. Inked the deal today, and bringing it home tonight. In our haste to get all the paperwork done on my lunch break today, I neglected to get some good photos of it, but in the meantime here are a few teasers from one sold from Gentry Lane…my photos will follow later in the week or by the w/e… [![http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g156/91MR2_photos/2012EvoraSGP-1_zps69c6c941.jpg](http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g156/91MR2_photos/2012EvoraSGP-1_zps69c6c941.jpg)](http://s55.photobucket.com/user/91MR2_photos/media/2012EvoraSGP-1_zps69c6c941.jpg.html) [![http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g156/91MR2_photos/2012EvoraSGP-2_zps433ab600.jpg](http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g156/91MR2_photos/2012EvoraSGP-2_zps433ab600.jpg)](http://s55.photobucket.com/user/91MR2_photos/media/2012EvoraSGP-2_zps433ab600.jpg.html) [![http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g156/91MR2_photos/2012EvoraSGP-3_zpsa3bde1cf.jpg](http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g156/91MR2_photos/2012EvoraSGP-3_zpsa3bde1cf.jpg)](http://s55.photobucket.com/user/91MR2_photos/media/2012EvoraSGP-3_zpsa3bde1cf.jpg.html) [![http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g156/91MR2_photos/2012EvoraSGP-4_zps7fb1b8b0.jpg](http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g156/91MR2_photos/2012EvoraSGP-4_zps7fb1b8b0.jpg)](http://s55.photobucket.com/user/91MR2_photos/media/2012EvoraSGP-4_zps7fb1b8b0.jpg.html) [![http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g156/91MR2_photos/2012EvoraSGP-5_zps7a128d67.jpg](http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g156/91MR2_photos/2012EvoraSGP-5_zps7a128d67.jpg)](http://s55.photobucket.com/user/91MR2_photos/media/2012EvoraSGP-5_zps7a128d67.jpg.html) [![http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g156/91MR2_photos/2012EvoraSGP-6_zpseafd09fb.jpg](http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g156/91MR2_photos/2012EvoraSGP-6_zpseafd09fb.jpg)](http://s55.photobucket.com/user/91MR2_photos/media/2012EvoraSGP-6_zpseafd09fb.jpg.html) If anyone is interested in a new (or used) Lotus, Matt at Lotus of WNY is the way to go. He’s a real car guy, and is a pleasure to work with on a deal. Needless to say, this has been my biggest automotive purchase to date…he made it as easy as it could be… ---
