Top pictures! consider selling the pics not the car !!
-
Oh wow ...a bbq in the garage... now that is the way forward !!
-
I saw that same car in Exeter a few weeks ago so I guess it must be local
-
When I sold my last esprit it took about 10 seconds after watching it drive down the road before I got the "what have I done" feeling.
Also on those 10 times you drive it, are they not the best times behind the wheel in that year and bring back loads of memories for you?
-
Much better that it happened here rather than in France !!
small consolation I know
-
Better hurry ...there are only 3 available
-
was Saturday PM about 2 ish I guess.
Well it was good seeing you going the other way !
-
Spotted an azure blue s4s / v8 northbound on the M42 near Coventry. could have been either, I was heading the other way and I could only see the top of it over the central reservation!!!!!!
-
phew! the new boy was beginning to feel silly
-
Just checked and its defintely tonight !
Its on in HD as well on sky 543 !!
OMG the Sinclair C5 is lotus based...I hope my friends aren't watching!!
-
A very fair point....
Accrding to Lotus' website there are dealers in Cyprus and Greece but thats as close as there is...DOH
-
As Harry Hill would say..
"there's only one way to settle this.......FIGHT!"
-
Definitely find a lotus specialist or dealer near the car and pay them to do an inspection before you buy! it may cost a couple of hundred quid now but may save you thousands in the future. The AA / RAC inspections are not up to the job. definitely get a Lotus guy! good luck. and may the force be with you.
-
OMG really sorry to see that. I remember how I felt when my first Esprit disintigrated.
Double shame really as it was such a nice day and you could have BBQd a sausage and had a snack while waiting for a lift.....(sorry)
-
Thanks for that....on both !
It's great being in the forums now! altough it makes the desire to get back behind the wheel of an esprit again all the more pressing!
Fingers crossed I will be a pure blood again soon instead of a muggle on the sidelines!!
-
Yep...saw that on the DVLA site, so thought it might be alive and well and cared for by one of the clan!!
-
Well to be honest I sold it about 10 years ago
It was a Red X180 NA reg E539 VEX
I would love to know if its still running OK.
I used to live in Chelmsford and that is where I sold it, in fact I still remember watching it drive away and wishing I had not sold it about 5 seconds later
Anyway.
If one of the members has it, drop me a line.

Driving from Newton Abbot to Exeter I saw 2 Esprits !!
Just like busses ...none in weeks then 2 at once
In Bradley Lane, Newton Abbot a white S3 Turbo
Outside the Met offce in Exeter a orange GT3
Very brave as the rain is falling ....persistantly!
-
Maybe there is an opportunity for someone to make a blank plate with a load of wires coming out of it to stick over the radio to make it look like its already been nicked???
I had my car broken in to in a suposedly secure car park and the whole event was caught on CCTV. and even with a clear shot of the perp the police lost the footage and chalked it up to the stats! Then I got a customer service phone call asking how I thought they had dealt with the incident!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
LOL I bought my first Esprit at 25 and have been in a mid life finacial crisis ever since !
But what a great way to spend a life.
-
Just start buying them and if she complains then tell her you thought it was a catalogue!
-
What on earth is that. The picture looks like a Transmobulator from Star Trek ...or something
-
oh well...thanks for that.
seriously though if you ever see any for sale, snap it up. It really is the most amazing and easy to use car polish ever!
-
Greetings all !!
Its my first posting so be gentle with me.
In these sunny days I am trying to restore the shine to my car but am struggling to find a polish as good as AUTOFOM that I bought about 10 years ago when drunk at 3 in the morning from a TV shopping channel.
The ad was showing the miracle ingredient "Fomblin A" another spin off from the space shuttle program and it looked too good to miss. (dont they all at 3 in the morning?)
The surprising thing is that it was amazing! the kit had wheel cleaner atc etc as well and I wish I had bought loads now.......has anyone seen it available anywhere for sale?
Thanks
