Oooof. I'd forgotten just how shit those really were lol. I think the damage on the corner shows that either Kimbers can't park, or handle too much power.......

Gold FFM Escape Posted November 18, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 I recently saw an episode of Britain's greatest machines on NGC, in which the C5 made an appearance. The link with Lotus was explained, specifically the lightweight backbone chassis. Then they went on to the Type 91 F1 car and Essex Esprit. I saw the episode by accident and was very pleasantly surprised (but not by the C5 🙂 )! Quote I have made many mistakes in my life. Buying a multiple Lotus is not one of them.

Bazza 907 Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 The Essex Esprit was driven by Roger Becker whilst the owner was having kittens that he'd re enact a certain car chase 😉 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I did about 10,000 miles in 6 weeks during summer holidays, my brother the same on the other one. The only day we didn't work was the day the TV camera's came down and filmed it! They used stand in's! Bugger really but hey ho! Overall I think we did about half the tested mileage. Quote Possibly save your life.

Gold FFM Gjk Posted November 26, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 It was the aero by the rear wheels that made my decision.
