  1. I know I m a bit late, but is there room for one more or to go on reserve list if someone cant make it on the day? Will be a 1985 Turbo Esprit, Peal white with a handful of reliability Mods......
  2. I wonder who this one might belong to. If anyone didn't see it, Classiccars show Ch 5 ~(7pm Tue) with Quentin Wilson and Jodie Kidd. The Car was used as part of something they did on the 928. they tied it in with an old arcade game from the 80s based on you driving a 928 police car, bashing the hell out of the baddies in a Turbo esprit. I never did manage to get past the next level to that one....lol. there was a quick glimpse of a white early turbo, then it went into a cartoon sequence. Good to see the esprit on telly again..
  3. Yep, spotted travelling from Layburn to Bellaby, Yorkshire. looked like an early stevens, late morning. I was on way to Layburn ina black Xtype estate.
  4. Apparently the good news is, the Esprit may be still alive, in fact all three of them might be. Held up in a Police Compound it seems. Seach for: 'Top Gear Patagonia Special what happened to the three cars that were left behind ' There's a link on there that takes you to an Argentine Local article and it shows two pictures of the cars. Sorry, couldn't get the link to work at all for this. Anyone for a covert rescue mission.....lol. Perhaps that could be the next Topgear special...

Silver Stevens esprit, couldnt make out if turbo or na.was by new Tescos in Fareham just off new roundabout system. I was heading in towards fareham after my 1st drive in car for over 6 months, as not long back from paint shop. I did try fashing my lights but pulled washer stalk by mistake......... and did wave so wasnt egnoring u honest!.......
  20. Spotted Red poss Burgandy 300 Sport esprit on evening of 31 May. You drove past Ride gardens at at approx 1900, only saw you side on as as was parked up in side road. I was visiting the Girl Friends and we were about to leave to return to portsmouth area. We where in a white Kea ceed, so would have kinda blended in with all the other cars.
  21. Thanks for Phot Pete, Doesnt look to bad from the photo, Hi Neil, that would be great thankyou, would love to see it, when are you around?
  22. I am having a little paintwork done to my car, an 85 turbo esprit. I am looking into replacing the mid line black trim that runs round both sides of the car. I m told there are two types, a more squared off type fitted to esprits 81 - about 86/87, then a more rounded type fitted to the last of the run of the S3's (Which is also much cheeper to buy). Can anyone out there who may have the later fitted email me a close up photo of the later one. I would like to see if I like the look of and/or if there is much difference in the two types. Sorry if I have put this on wrong part. Thank you, Daz
