Gold FFM Barrykearley Posted December 18, 2018 Gold FFM Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 I believe it’s azure blue 1 Quote Only here once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Escape Posted December 18, 2018 Gold FFM Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 I have a Silver Frost deflector I never use. I could be persuaded to part with it. 😉 Filip 1 Quote I have made many mistakes in my life. Buying a multiple Lotus is not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giniw Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Actually I bought a nice calypso red one knowing that I would need to repaint it, but if @glynherron confirms it's an Azure blue one, there could be a nice condition calypso red for sale soon! (unless I find a white one so that I can arrange a flag! ) If I were you Escape I would probably keep it, but that could obviously make someone happy to buy it if it's missing!

Gold FFM Steve V8 Posted December 18, 2018 Gold FFM Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Looks like midnight blue, too dark for Azure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glynherron Posted December 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Think you’re right Steve. I’ve looked for a photo of the chassis number plate which will have the trim codes but I haven’t got one. I’ve messaged my painter and let’s see what his memory’s like! barry. The spare I got was just a spare... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Steve V8 Posted December 18, 2018 Gold FFM Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Now that's lovely, but looks too light for midnight, there were a quite afew shades of blue, only other one I can think of is Pacific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neverweaken Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Hi all, a bit off topic but is there supposed to be wind deflectors on the glass roofed Guigiaro esprit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Weber Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 I do not see the listing for the deflector. Has it been sold? If so, where does one go to find another as my S4 car is missing the deflector. Thanks! Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as I never use the deflector and don't plan on selling the Esprit, there's not much point in hanging on to it. I'm a hoarder, but maybe I should do a bit of clearance. 1 Quote I have made many mistakes in my life. Buying a multiple Lotus is not one of them.

An optional or aftermarket extra fitted in place of the roof (glass or solid) when removed, to reduce wind noise/ingress into the car. So there isn't supposed to be one, but it's something that's nice to have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's an optional part it's less a problem but otherwise I still think it's a pity to let go standard accessories from the car as they are quite rare ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chillidoggy Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 I’ve already got a newly-trimmed and painted GRP roof in a bag that I haven’t used in over four years of ownership. I’m just wondering whether it would be yet another piece of kit that will sit in the garage unused. Quote Margate Exotics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
