Been lurking here for a while... reading, learning, searching in the States for the right car (for me) for years, I finally was able to pickup a 2004 Final Run Esprit (#10596) in Lotus Yellow in mint condition. Others (02-03's) that I had seen in the past just didn't feel right, so, was thrilled at how well the previous owner took take of this gorgeous machine.

First Lotus for me and I can wait to get her home. Been wanting an Esprit since I was a kid and I was so envious of my friends Dad who had one in White (I think it was white with white rims, circa 1988).

Glad to be here and thanks all for all that you have posted throughout the years for the newbies.

More pics to come in the future

Is it selfish? Certainly. Next question.

Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk - that will teach us to keep mouth shut!

All we know is that when they stop making this, we will be properly, properly sad.Jeremy Clarkson on the Esprit.
