I don't think he's had it long. But a long term Esprit fan obviously, and knows Paul Matty, my old local Lotus specialist. I think this was it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyww Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Not on the register under that reg. It could be chassis 980 though, white/black. Did it have comps or BBS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon @Sizona knows that my phone is a Nokia 6310 (can I be a STG?) which means he can't send me pictures of the league table with Chelsea above Arsenal 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fridge Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 I meant a 3310. A 6310 has Bluetooth. I thought I was Jack The Biscuit when I had a company one of those. The lithium polymer battery lasted eons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chillidoggy Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 6310? Best phone ever made. I had the long-life battery on mine, 430 hours on standby, I only charged it up once a month instead once a day. Quote Margate Exotics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chillidoggy Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Ah, well, that’s where you’re wrong because it was a company phone. The previous mobile phone I had looked like something John Wayne’s radio operator used when he hit the beach at Iwo Jima, it weighed as much as a house brick, and the battery lasted about 5 minutes. 1 Quote Margate Exotics.

eeyoreish Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Back on topic, just watched the Esprit episode. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea but that dash is amazing. I need one for my TE! Anyone know the company in Bridgend that they used? Couldn't see anything in the (very small) credits. 1 Quote Not worth starting anything now...🍺 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusfab Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 I agree, the dash was excellent. I wonder how they converted the rotary feed from the gearbox to an electronic signal for mph? Maybe they used gps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
