Still not sure if I should or should not sell the Strad.

[D Walker]

If you do - next year I may be interested...

Currently have 9 in the barn and 3 living outside... sold 2-3 recently as was putting them sideways and it was a “logistical” nightmare....

Love the Strad. I know which I would keep and which I would sell if it were me. Would love a barn like that!

I was very lucky to have the barn and an understanding wife! Extended and raised a few years ago....

Have been breaking pallets over the past year or so to board out the interior. Think it’ll look quite good when finished...

Need to get the cars under covers now the winter has come as wont be using them now...

Love the strad.

Two stunning cars. The Evora I rather like. The face lift cars for me look much better. Is it a 400. Bet it's handy on your favourite road.

The problem with the Strad is that other than the the R5 GTT and the family daily Disco, it’s the worst drivers car for me “personally”....

Must admit I am spoilt in that respect based on my driving preference.

Where I live, it is a mixture of B and C roads. That means that you need a car that is light, nippy and smaller dimensions to have any real driving pleasure.

It is an Evora 400. If you have not driven one, it’s pretty intoxicating....

The noise in race mode over 5k when the when the profile changes is immense. 119DB with the standard exhaust

I sold these 2 over the past year as I actually didn’t enjoy driving them.

I really wanted to love them and if I could have stuck both of them in a glass museum just to stare at, I would have kept them as they both just look out of this world to me. The Elite always reminded me of one of the spacecraft in Space 1999....

Lovely barn, Stu! Clearly there's no point asking you if you have any free space to rent. ;-) It still feels a bit early for SORNing anything. It's glorious out there today in our little corner of the country.

Happily, I've found secure storage over near Manningtree, so I shall be putting that to use as of next month.

You’re not wrong Stu, I’m 3 miles away and can hear the Evora on start-up.....!!
Bet you’ll never sell the Stradale, in your words, ‘For the money, what could you ever replace her with....??’

That's **** of a "Man Cave"!

You've wetted my appetite Stu...must get me a ride in a 400. Been in an early Evora and loved the way it drove bit noise wasn't great but the 400 takes the Evora to a different level.

The JPS S2 Esprit is lovely. I restored one about 10 year ago. Desperately trying to think what number it was. This was it at the NEC Classic
