Bibs Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 Can anyone please help with this? Thank you Please let me know below and I'll PM over an email/phone number for you. I'm looking for a Lotus Esprit S1 or S2 to use in a feature for Classic Cars magazine, to shoot some time within the next four weeks. Are there any mainland UK-based owners who would be willing to let us use their car? Please pass my contact details on to anyone with a suitable car who would be willing to help. Many thanks, Sam Dawson Content Editor Classic Cars magazine Quote 88 Esprit NA, 89 Esprit Turbo SE, Evora, Evora S, Evora IPS, Evora S IPS, Evora S IPS SR, Evora 400, Elise S1, Elise S1 111s, Evora GT410 Sport Evora NA For forum issues, please contact the Moderators.

williamtherebel Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 I could possibly help with my Esprit S1, although living 'oop North' (Lancashire), it may be too far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibs Posted November 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 They've said 'Mainland UK' so I think that'll be ok!

Popular Post williamtherebel Posted November 25, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 Here's a few photos I took on the photo shoot for Classic Car Magazine on Tuesday.(22nd Nov) We were sooooooo lucky with the weather. It was terrible all last week up to the Tues, Then a sunny day for the shoot with a few dark clouds rolling in after we had finished. Since then it has rained every day. It was interesting seeing what goes on. Ive never been on one before. The photographer took his life in his hands sometimes with him hanging out the rear window of the support car to get (hopefully) some great shots of the car in motion. I have been promised a batch of photos from the shoot after the magazine comes out. Around Christmas probably. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I did a photoshoot the photographer was hanging out the back of an estate car taking photos - I was driving the support car at the time. He got so low to the ground he scaped his camera on the tarmac. 1 Quote Dave - 2000 Sport 350 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post LOTUSMAN33 Posted December 19, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 Nice write up on the car Lez, it looked good in the shoot and promoted the S1 well. 🙂 4 Quote Do or do not, there is no try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post williamtherebel Posted December 19, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 Thanks Dave. I havent even seen the article yet! I'll get a copy tomorrow. It was an interesting day, seeing how it was done. They said they are going to send me a portfolio of the photos after the article has been printed so Im looking forward to that. They took loads. From what I could hear, the guy seems very impressed with the car. I asked him if he wasn't disappointed in 'meeting' his hero and he said definitely not. The weather had been atrocious for the three days before and then the three days after. So we were lucky the weather was dry on the day of the shoot. The photographer took a photo of myself and the guy who said the S1 was his dream car. A good day out. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOTUSMAN33 Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 I subscribe Lez so get the copy early, the guy was very complimentary of your car cementing it as his dream car but out of his price range. The bleak Lancashire day really brought out the S1 lines making a nice shoot, the photos set should look great making your time worth while. 🙂 1 Quote Do or do not, there is no try!
