Chillidoggy 4,254 Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 The rear looks OK, but what’s going on with the plunge pool up front? Quote Margate Exotics. Link to post Share on other sites
silverfrost 1,387 Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Not to everyones taste style wise, but coil packs fitted and what looks like a very intresting and well put together lotus four pot, would love to know what reliable safe figures they got out of it on a rolling road. Ian plunge pool at the front is the gt40 set up, alloy rad and twin fans, Early G cars are extremely light on the front end at top speed, the front starts to hover lol, not a nice looking mod, but i am sure a great aid to top end stability That st Tropez posted by Neil, must of been left on axle stands for a good while with the wheels unsupported as its sitting higher than a 4x4, Made it probably a lot easier for someone to get off the trailer though Quote A Link to post Share on other sites
snowrx 140 Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 I'm another that wants more info on that early EFI / turbo fitment on the red "cooling" car. Anyone have a link Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eeyoreish 837 Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 The Stevens style internal 'ears' are a clever touch but beyond that I'm not a fan. Quote Not worth starting anything now... Link to post Share on other sites

GTK 620 Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 The light in the photo makes it! I did a very quick moodification but someone with more time to go over the glares and refine could make it epic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drdoom 350 Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 Those are some ghastly results of tinkering with the masterful work of GG and the ACBC team, absent a measure of sense of what was achieved in the first place. Want Ferrari taillights buy a Ferrari. Want a Lola T70 buy one. There's plenty of fertile soil to till when it comes to tidying up the trim aesthetics on early Esprit's but I've yet to see any major mod improve the beauty of the car in the least. That's a most charitable statement, by the way. Ferkin travesties is more on the nose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gvy 368 Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 No worry. The gt was on the other side of the garage sectional door. I had been using it. So I had the opportunity to take this picture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post robington 132 Posted November 22, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Apologies for the reflection, I thought I would share one of my G car pictures signed by the man himself! I am assured it was really signed by Giugiaro - apparently done via somebody within the automotive industry. It takes pride of place on my wall!! 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post gbowick 9 Posted December 25, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 25, 2018 Merry Christmas to all of you out there and my thanks for your help. Hopefully my S2 will be back in service during 2019 after being off the road for more than 25 years, more that half of its life. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Gis 169 Posted December 29, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Came across my old SLR camera during Christmas and took a few shots of the esprit with the new tire decals. Captures the stance of the Esprit nicely. Can’t wait to get rid of the black ducts when the car goes for a respray in 2019. White body and black satin bumpers, period correct. Happy Holiday and a great start into the New Year to you all! 7 Quote Ad initium Link to post Share on other sites
