Popular Post Boots Posted July 28, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 As the title suggests I have been a member of this forum before. Nearly 11 years ago my husband bought me an S3 Turbo Esprit and I loved it (when it was working). Needless to say for a 30+ year old car this was not always the case. So after 4 years and a brief ownership of a Lotus Excel I wanted a more reliable car. So to cut a long story short after 7 years of owning a BMW 840 and 4 years of owning a Porsche 944s I am returning to my first super car love. So at the end of the month (lots going on) I will hopefully be in possession of another S3 Turbo Esprit, and because I’m married to a lovely man and we never do things by halves, I will also have a Lotus Excel. Its good to be back Sue 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazza 907 Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 The Excel looks like the same metallic ice blue colour of your previous Esprit 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOTUSMAN33 Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 Two beauties to own and both look well cared for, ice blue suits the Excel well although you can’t beat an Essex blue turbo 😎 Dave 2 Quote Do or do not, there is no try!

ramjet Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 Welcome back to TLF Sue. There is something about the older Esprits when they are in the right colour, the angular body just looks great. Any questions or issues with using the forums, feel free to ask one of us mods. We're here to help. Quote All we know is that when they stop making this, we will be properly, properly sad.Jeremy Clarkson on the Esprit. Opinions are like armpits. Everyone has them, some just stink more than others. For forum issues, please contact one of us Moderators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
