Loose Cannon Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Scanned from a Lotus World magazine, here is the prince of nepotism taking the keys to his Essex in return for, well, being a slimeball. Honestly wouldn't you rather trust John DeLorean? Quote In the garage no-one can hear you scream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza 907 Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 That's Essex No.24 that was rebadged No.100 to make it look like Lotus did a run of 100 cars. To my knowledge it's one of a small handful (3 or 4?) still on the road in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nello Posted August 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 It was the numerical re-badging of that one that caused all the confusion about numbers of Essex.............. As per Bazza its my guess that it was an attempt to disguise the fact that people wanted the G Turbo in other colours - away from Essex paint (at that time anyway!)... and make it seem like they had actually sold 100 in that form. Anyway Ken Baird owned it for while before it went to Graeme Harrison on here?! Can Kimbers tell us who is presenting the keys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veilside Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Barrie, The photo's were sent to me from the new owner of 008 in Japan he is restoring/rebuilding it. I've know about this one for along time sitting in Ben Auto's waiting for someone to give it some TLC. This is not the first time it's be rebuilt, the first accident (see photo) happened many years ago before it left the UK for Japan. The other photo is a recent of the engine, looks like new liners and pistons required, not sure about no. 4 cylinder and how the screws etc. got there. The body has been removed from the chassis, chassis overhauled so the rebuild is well under way. Steve T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
