Hello, I am from Taiwan.
I bought an Esprit Turbo HC before two weeks. I am going to restore her.
Now, its cylinder head is lost. I have found another engine. However, the restoration is still a long way.

I was going to say that as well, but as the photo has been taken, I'm assuming the lift has already occurred. 
It's not advisable at all Qing. (that's what Simon is trying to say)
You're far better off simply pushing it around.

Sorry...is it just me or does that car look like a Pontiac Fiero from that angle? Just struck me as odd there for a minute, having owned one I never thought "Wow my car looks like a Lotus".
I'll be going now.

You must be mistaken .......no car looks like an Esprit .Sorry...is it just me or does that car look like a Pontiac Fiero from that angle? Just struck me as odd there for a minute, having owned one I never thought "Wow my car looks like a Lotus".
I'll be going now.
Anyway welcome Qing ...loads of greetings and all the help you need in the TLF ....i wonder if Pontiac can say the same .lol
