Loose Cannon Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 That belonged to someone on here years back, a suitably eccentric luvvy actor from Bourton on the Water. He had a few problems and sold it for a daftly low price in a fit of pique, then spent ages trying to track it down to buy it back.

Mark Blanchard Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Wondering if they'd put the original mono blocs back on and changed the reg.

ChrisJ Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Nice The white one (best colour) is a lot lower than the silver one. Andy, your Turbo might be one of the two in 1982 that came out of the factory with colour coding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tocus Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 the white car is lower because that car has a engine and gearbox inside it, the silver one is without engine and gearbox, the engine is right now at the overhauling company, about 1 or 2 month's it comes back and its better as new! and also so clean as a new engine!so stephen i am not good looking... Thanks.... haha LOL joke! i know for sure the cars look better then me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyww Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 A modern dilemma: I was planning to get the Esprit resprayed soon and putting the bumpers back to the proper black. But at Brooklands today most of the people I was chatting to thought I was crazy to do that and I should keep them white. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
