Popular Post JacobLotus87 Posted July 26, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 Just a quick hello, Recently purchased a naturally aspirated 1987 Lotus Esprit HC and have already sourced some info through the forums so figured I'd join. Car overall is smick and had been restored by the owner a few years ago. Gosh does it turn some heads!That being said, in typical Lotus form I have already encountered some issues. Nothing that couldn't be quickly resolved through some forum digging though! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOTUSMAN33 Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 Welcome Jacob, looks nice and a smart colour combo 👍🏻 Quote Do or do not, there is no try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobLotus87 Posted July 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 Thanks mate, It was actually Calypso Red from the factory but was resprayed black 2 owners ago. The owner before me did a full respray but in black also. Looks great although factory spec would be cool! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacobLotus87 Posted July 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Hey Paul! Nice to see your around here also. Car looks great, still waiting for my decals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisJ Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Hi jacob - welcome to Lotus ownership. You do need to be aware that once you have one, a second one beckons Whereabouts are you? It would be great to have two black N/A HCs together at one of our monthly meetings (Paul's phot is from last Sunday's breakfast meet). Chris PS - more photos please.

Gold FFM paulbrown22 Posted July 29, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 From my previous chat with Jacob on Instagram, I think he's in Australia, so sadly unlikely to make our Herts/Cambs/Essex meets! Would also explain why the decals are taking their time to arrive from the UK...! Driving around Australia sounds much better than my usual trips in the middle of London though 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
