Mario at Monaco 80 Elio Monaco 1980

Missing opportunity to recreate the iconic Esprit one into a Elise...

As far as I know the JAH1L, was restored by Simon Hatfield and he still owns it. By the way...its seats came from a Lotus Europa Special

I came across this one. I think has never been posted here...

I think this one is also new here....

Ooooppps ....it a AutoArt Esprit Modified

An exotic Esprit for sale...I find it a bit expensive..... https://www.ebay.es/itm/Lotus-Esprit-Essex-Turbo-Car-No-1-The-Factory-Active-Development-Car/292582198235?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D53b1f53e6243421c8a3530dbe1b97e00%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D15%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D263581554779%26itm%3D292582198235&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3Ae3c534d6-656e-11e8-876d-74dbd1807196|parentrq%3Aba4952fb1630ab1d2f70c66effff3c28|iid%3A1
