Last time I saw it it was parked between two Minis I think. Ages ago. A well deserved win. Sounded like a fabulous event, with a lot of competition.

Popular Post williamtherebel Posted August 4, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 Attended a really nice car show at the weekend. Little place called Audlem (near Stoke) I wanted a good run out before I go to The Silverstone Classic at the end of August. (It was a 160 mile round trip) Behaved impeccably. (the car, not me!) The whole village seemed to have turned out, waving, cheering etc as we convoyed around the village before settling on the village green. Of course everyone loved my flashing headlights! When I parked up, I nearly got as many comments on my revolving model car that the real thing! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazza 907 Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 @Jack Stone Max, yes, Chobham Common, just round the corner 😉 Often go up there to have a blast in one of the Lotus. Good place to spot the latest camoflaged McLaren en route to their test track - pretty pointless of course as they all look the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hml_xy Posted August 8, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 Colin Chapmans Esprit S2 was exhibited at the first episode of Düsseldorf´s (my hometown) "Classic Days" event. A cozy mini-Goodwood... The car will also be present at the upcoming Oldtimer Grand Prix at the Nürburgring (where also a german Lotus Meeting will be held right in front of the main tribune). 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jack Stone Posted August 14, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 (edited) Autocar Esprit road tests - the First and and the Final (15 Jan 1977 / 12 Dec 2001) Summary and comparison of key data: First/Final Price (£): 7979/49995 Engine: 16v 2l I4 NA/32v 3.5l V8 twin turbo 0-60 (s): 6.8*/4.8 0-100 (s): 27.4/10.5 V Max (mph): 138*/175 Weight (kg): 1185/1380 BHP: 160/350** BHP/tonne: 135/254** Author: Jeffrey Daniels (and team)/Chris Harris Mag price (£): 0.25/2.10 *1977 0-60 and V Max performance data via Lotus as Autocar test couldn’t match brochure claims. **The 2001 test quotes a slightly higher BHP than the V8 brochure figure (358 versus 350) in both the table and text but I think it’s probably a typo so I’ve quoted brochure data (The only number higher on the S1 was fuel tank capacity - 68l versus 65l!)
