Giniw Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 (edited) (actually the Esprit is not so dirty but the Elan ... Well it has been my daily for a few months because my real daily needed a little TLC to be MOTted — Hehe, Lotus actually came to the rescue of a good old Nissan! I still managed to dodge the salt on the road and almost all the rain as we are more or less locked down anyway ...)

Gold FFM Escape Posted February 24 Gold FFM Report Share Posted February 24 Mine got her first wash of the year last week. Of course the next day it was raining again... I certainly did enjoy the drives in the sun, feels like spring! She'd been used all through winter, except for the week we actually got some snow. I don't mind the snow, but hate the horrible salt and it just makes more sense to use the Range Rover, never having to worry about being able to drive off and a lot less worries about other people and their (lack of) driving skills.

910Esprit Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 Looks great Giz, but liked the yellow too. NB is that the Mobil pegasus logo? Seem to remember him gracing our petrol pumps many years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem to remember him gracing our petrol pumps many years ago. Thanks Steve. Yes it is the Esso Mobile Pegasus. It’s a bit of a reference to old days. Besides the Union Jack that’s the only ‘non standard’ item in the car. The yellow looked ok in photos only. In reality it was a poor paint job, a non-lotus color and with incorrect color coded bumpers. It was pretty awful close up. So in essence, I’m really happy with the new look. The general public reactions also confirms it. 1 Quote Ad initium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Blanchard Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 Looks superb Gis and love the white letters on the Goodyears. More Turbo Esprit's should have them, as Colin intended. Clicky 1 Quote Mark www.lotusespritturbo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post exeterjeep Posted March 3 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 3 Back in 1989, Lotus cars and the local London dealers had a day at Brands Hatch. Apart from driving round the short circuit there were 3 other activities. Looks like the 3 esprits were set up to go out of the pits. The guy by the passenger door of the excel was Brian Atthews London lotus centre. There were some laps by Garry Marshall, who got all 4 tyres smoking in places. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

910Esprit Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 I watched that. The cambelt looked scarily loose. Wonder if it still has 16 straight valves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM tomcattom Posted March 5 Gold FFM Report Share Posted March 5 I wonder how long it has been off the road. Certainly going to need a good going over before they think about starting it. I clocked it has the RC injectors in one of the shots, so its had some money spent on it at some point. Was it my eyes deceiving me or was the binnacle fascia made of plywood, or are all SE's like that? Quote Norfolk Mustard S4s #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
