Lotus Esprit World is five years old today. The site was first published on Valentines Day in 2001. The site looked very different back then and wasn't actually called Lotus Esprit World. Those who remember back then will recall the lovely green and yellow scheme! Still even back then we had plenty of content and only the EspritFactFile was a better read.

Five years on and the site has gone from strength to strength. It was originally set-up to supply correct and accurate information to those looking on the web for information about the Esprit before looking to buy. As a buyer back then, you really were on your own. LEW now gives buyers everything they need to confidently start looking for an Esprit to purchase.

Not only that, but we now support owners once they have purchased an Esprit. Giving info on running, insuring, modifying and fixing.

We also help by supplying discounts for our club members, which include tyres, parts, oil, insurance and much more. Linking in with this Forum, owners now have a place to chat, make owning and running an Esprit a thousand times easier than 5 years ago. The Esprit community has grown to be one of the strongest of any model of car. Those who are new to the Esprit, probably don't fully appreciate how easy their ownership is compared to a few years back.

Finally after five years on the web, we would like to thank everyone who has ever contacted us, supplied information, been on one of our runs or purchased anything from our site. Without you the site wouldn't be half of what it is now.

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
