simonf Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Spotted on the Newmarket Road, Norwich a black esprit!! It was on trade plates so i am guessing it wasn't the owner driving it - I am pretty sure it was a sport 300 although it could have been a sport 350! It had split rims and turquise decals down the side. A very distinctive car so i am pretty sure someone on here knows who it belongs to! Si Quote REHABS FOR QUITTERS!!

Bibs Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 The 300 and 350 are very different cars in look and sound. Did the 300 look like this? There were only 3 black 300's made, 2 in the UK and 1 in Germany.

simonf Posted November 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 THATS THE ONE!! Really rare then! Must be at Lotus for some repairs and out on a test drive maybe! Quote REHABS FOR QUITTERS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibs Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 The car I pictured is the other one! The one you saw belongs to a chap called Russell who lives in Maidstone and it's been at Sport for a while having some work done. Don't think the owner is a LEF member.

kyliesmith.com Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Looks deep into her purse, looks into Simons Wallet, looks under the matress and in the safe God I hope the new owner looks after this. I bet its already sold! Bibs you should buy this, despite being left hook its one to keep as we all know. Quote No.23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibs Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 To be fair Kylie, I like to drive my Esprits and this one is a museum case, it's immaculate and has 9k on the clock. I'd love it but I'd not keep it in such good condition, not through lack of maintenance and care but through usage.

Bazza 907 Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Is it me or does that seem like an awful lot of cash for a LHD in the current market? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbers Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 It's very rare and very very low mileage. I think it will be a classic in the future. Quote Possibly save your life.

Mark Blanchard Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 It should sell once it's been featured in Octane. It's a very rare car indeed .
