£30? You were robbed. I used to go to school in one every day back in the 70s. Don't have very good memories of them. And wow did they rust.

He turned up in an Austin 1100. No joke.

Couple of shots from Stonor from this weekend. My Son met Brian Johnson from AC/DC too.

Stonor this weekend. Hope to see a few Lotus's on display.

Well I bought a load a couple of months ago before Russia invaded.

Yes lots of mine are down, it’s head in the sand time at the moment. I think we’re in for a rough couple of months but hopefully things will recover.

Good to chat and your car looked great. Couldn’t have asked for better weather.

This is happening tomorrow, 10:30am till 3pm, in the field next to the Stag & Huntsman in Hambleden, near Henley on Thames. For anyone interested there's more info here: https://jec.org.uk/regions/thamesvalley/events I'll be taking my fake Lotus.

Cheers chap, much better photo. That's got to be the ultimate Esprit.

Love that GT2. https://www.lotusespritturbo.com/Lotus_Esprit_GT2.htm

Took this shot at Bicester Scramble. Really lovely car.

There's an Evora on Facebook Market place, but it's silver. It say it's done 67,000km, so 41,600 miles. Good luck.

Superb photos Dave. Those top 3 look brochure quality.

So Russia's practicing nuclear missile launches now. Let's hope it's just posturing and nothing happens on May 9th. We could really do without all this bollocks.

Emira kind of: https://dvlatimedauction.co.uk/auction/B245/EMR1A

These 3 Lotus's have been recently found. A very sad sight. Shame the weren't put in the nearest barn.

Ah that art thing. Yes odd, probably done by a student on the cheap.

Where are they? Can’t see them. For some reason they’ve shown a pic of my motors and a mates Buick Riviera on the events page.

This event is over 2 days now. It's usually a great day and it's nice location. I understand entries for the car display with be soon. https://www.supercarsandclassics.co.uk/events.html

Good luck with the resto. Interesting info Keith. Always wondered why they were called Eclat Excels. I remember when these were new, thinking they looked very exotic.

I was looking at that car this morning and thought it was his. Great looking car. Didn’t he get some engine work done on it?

The dust doesn't settle on the prices at our local Shell. This was it yesterday. Not sure how they can justify the prices when Tesco's diesel is £1.58 at the moment.
