hylandmotorsport 1 Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I spotted this and thought that I'd post it up here if anyone is interested in it. I don't know the seller or the car but if someone from the forum wants to view it I'd be happy to help out if I can, maybe pick them up from the airport and take them to the car. Just pm me! Looks neat enough and the miles are low too! Jps advert Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bibs 10,845 Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Not if it's the condition they state, there can't be more than 40/50 JPS S2's left in the world.

esprit s2 94 Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I think thats a bargain. If only I had 12k lying around..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Coleman 469 Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 If I were going to buy an S2 I'd want a JPS one. It reminds me of the Scalextric set i had in the 70s. Paul. Quote Lotus Esprit [meaning] a 1:1 scale Airfix kit with a propensity to catch fire Link to post Share on other sites
Simon350S 192 Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 If it's as good as it's described then that's got to be worth the money I'd have thought. Quote Chunky Lover Link to post Share on other sites
hylandmotorsport 1 Posted March 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I didn't like to comment on the price as I'm a relative 'newby' (only 12months Esprit ownership so far) but I thought this was keenly priced for what it is and given the rarety value and popularity of the model. If the history, miles and condition are as good as it says some one will get a lovely car. I'm thinking of going up to have a look, I've not been up close and personal with a JPS. It's only 25miles away from me, if I get up there I'll put a verdict on the forum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
comem47 209 Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Surely with only 21K miles the 2.2L is a misunderstanding on someone's part. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hylandmotorsport 1 Posted March 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 No 61 is sold. I went down to have a look at the car this afternoon and for a completely original car (non restored) it is very tidy. Only a very small amount of spider cracks in the gel coat on the drivers side wing, the rest of the body was perfect. The JPS decals looked their age but they are original and I'd be tempted to say were better for being left alone. Mechnically the car was sound from what I got to see and interior wise the car was very good for the age and original. everything was there and nothing was damaged. Turned out the some one I know from my rallying days has bought the car. The car has gone to a good home, he's got a few classics already and I think he'll have bought it to keep and have a bit of history as well as enjoy on the road. It'll be well looked after. That's a pretty quick sale for an Esprit I thought? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
USAndretti42 304 Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 And at a god price for the seller. Glad it went to an enthusiast. Any chance of him joining up here?

Espritment 1 Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 I bought an Esprit, which I believe may have been a JPS model, but sadly had already lost the black paint for a new white coat, and had lost the original motor for a very powerful 2 lt turbo engine with intercoler. Would anyone perhaps confirm the JPS status and the sequence number of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
v8vantage 221 Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 G'day Joe,saw an old post of yours saying you own a JPS Esprit. Did you ever work out which one it was. I'm putting together a database of the cars and was wondering the chassis number of yours. I have # 010. Quote Roo http://www.jpsesprit.com http://www.v8vantage.com Link to post Share on other sites
