Morning guys, I'm afraid I can't do this one - I'm at the Download festival that weekend seeing AC/DC & Aerosmith - which in volume & musical terms isn't too much different from a group of roaring Lotus engines! On another note, I'm genuinely sorry I haven't made a meet yet and really do hope to do so at one point in the future as I very much enjoy owning my Esprit and the lifestyle that goes with it. I also really appreciate the effort Brian puts into organising these runs. I hope you have a great day! -
Hmmm... Well, at least if I encounter a similar problem Bibs can't slag me anymore...

Bibs, why didn't you post this video last summer - you'd have saved me looking a right tool infront of a bunch of folk who gathered round as I tried to figure out how to get the roof to fit in the boot! I personally think you should post this vid at least once a year at the beginning of April to save muppets like me alot of embarrassment! Cheers mate - consider my roof going in my boot tomorrow AM - and thanks too to Jerry for posting the question!!

Hi, just to really back up Brian. I stumbled upon this Esprit by accident well over a year ago - I just happened to be passing the showroom and thought I'd jump in to have a look - they often have some very exotic stuff - Diablo's, Ferrari's etc. The Esprit was in decent condition for its age but looked a little tired. My only bit of advice is that if you fancy it push hard for a bargain - as we've confirmed, the car's been taking up valubale space in their showroom for over a year so they'll be desperate to sell it! :-)
-
Yeah...er... WOW! Nothing much more than that to add... I love coming on here and seeing other owners car's but that really is the ultimate Esprit. Well done, you win!!

Nice car... Seems pretty good for the money?

Re:- LED Rear Lights

Just found this topic - gotta say Dave, those lights look fantastic! Very impressed... To my eyes they look better on the Esprit than they do on the Evora! -
Around 3500. It's usually nearer a 5000 but due to Bruce Springsteen & AC/DC both touring Europe during the summer I had a few weekends away from the beast! It also didnt help that my driving buddy had to trade in his 911 in and thus wasn't about to play - thankfully he's just bought a Boxster S so I'm hoping for some good trips up North as soon as the weather improves!

David, I notice that Murray Motor Co. Edinburgh which is an official approved Lotus dealer has a V8 for sale. This is where I got mine and although you pay probably a couple of grand extra for an approved dealer car, I believe the full service history and 12 month warranty are worth it. It's also had it's cambelts done twice which is something that you must keep an eye on: http://www.murraylotus.co.uk/used-cars/info.php?id=4881 Graeme Robertson is the man to speak to in there...

Hi David. As a pretty non-mechanical member of the furum I would defo recommend a V8SE. Mine is 2002 on a 51 plate which annoyingly means it still has Toyota rear lights and the Saturn alloys - I will get round to upgrading soon! My only advice would be to try and buy a daily runner. I use mine all year round, virtually every day but as I am office based still only cover around 5000miles a year. Touch wood as I write this but I find her to be very relaible and a pleasure to own. Ignore the nae sayers and trust in the guys on this forum - they know their stuff!

Hi Toby, Yeah, I reckon they'd look the part - it would be 8.0x18's on the front and 9.5x19's on the back. I'm losing 0.5" on the Saturns width but I don't think it would effect my handling too much as I'm not an especially hard driver and if I was to go a run up to the Highlands or whatever for a bit of fun i could always put the Saturns back on? Total Price:

Hi, sorry for the late reply - I didn't want to come back until I had my facts correct. If you go on their site go into the sub menu "wheels" then click on the "Projex Custom Tuning" icon. The Multi-Piece alloys are all a fortune - I was quoted around
