Andyk 0 Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Hi all, I joined TLF a couple of months back to research info on Esprit buying, and after many, many hours spent reading posts, and also some excellent advice from fellow owners; I picked up my calypso red '93 S4 (magnolia interior) on Friday afternoon! Since then it's done about 250 miles, and has had about 10 hours of intensive (obsessive) cleaning and waxing, and every moment has been just as amazing as I thought it would be. The car is going in to North West Lotus for an engine rebuild and some other work soon, but once this is out of the way, I'll be looking to bring the car car out to a few meetings. The forum is an excellent resource, that I think has helped me start this experience out on the right foot. Looking forward to meeting you all soon! Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andyk 0 Posted August 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Thanks all! @Backmarker - No, it's from Dave Ellis (drellis on here). First couple of pics are below; not had chance to do many as yet but once I've finished cleaning it up, there'll be more to come! http://www.thelotusforums.com/forums/gallery/album/137-esprit-first-pics/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
s4simon 153 Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Welcome to dreamworld Andy. Wow one of the very early S4 cars with the aerial at the rear. How many miles has she covered ?? Hopefully will give you many years of trouble free motoring once she's back from open heart surgery. Quote Simon (94 S4) My Esprit will be for sale in late 2017 Link to post Share on other sites

rocket63 137 Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Fab looking car. Not sure that the car was ever produced with the aerial on the rear quarter?

Andyk 0 Posted August 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Yeah I'm hoping so too. She performs brilliantly even with liner issues and the charge cooler pump inoperative. She's done 79k now, but doesn't feel even close to that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drellis 0 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 glad u like it andy, I am amazed the chargecooler pump not running as it never felt short of power, should be balistic once work done have fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
