An exciting time ahead, take your time and pick the right car. Looking forward to seeing what you get. I'm waiting for my car to arrive in Australia after looking for a couple of years.

Hello Anson,

Welcome to TLF and the company of your brothers in espritdom. Don't worry--we've all had our shots and have the obsession well-managed with medication (pronounced "beer and whiskey").

Since you've not yet purchased yours, I thought perhaps you could use the guiding help of a variation on the infamous "Panflute Flowchart," so feel free to let this guide your decisionmaking:

Post photos when you do buy. There's what seems to be a nice silver S1 for sale at the moment.

Regards,

Matt

That is definitely the right thinking. It's amazing how many people around that try and talk you out of buying one that don't understand the whole thing. Thankfully everyone on TLF are on the same page.

S1, 2, 3, Turbo??

Good to see you on Sunday Anson, albeit briefly as I dashed off. If you haven't already made contact I'd recommend talking to Scott Walker - www.scottwalkers.com. Ex Sales at B&C, absolutely fanatical about Lotuses, former S1 Esprit owner and very knowledgeable. The attention he gives to sourcing and preparing cars is amazing. Once you've a good idea what you're looking for you can let him know specific requirements and he'll do what he can to help track one down if you're nervous about buying privately.

I already passed on his mobile at the weekend, just remember he's in Florida at the mo
