Giniw 174 Report post Posted May 9 ... I had to drive under a light rain a couple of days ago ... (to my surprise, it hasn't dissolved though!) 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stephenwhyte 1,308 Report post Posted May 9 That’s a pretty S4s - love the Sport 300 front lip 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giniw 174 Report post Posted May 9 Thanks! Actually I only had about one inch of the splitter left when I bought the car (because of a stuck bolt I reckon!) so I had to put something back. At that time the splitter was NLA so I looked for alternatives and stumbled upon a photo of a silver v8 Esprit with just the front lip (not the fibre glass part). I quite liked it from the photo so after a while I bought one, and I am pleased with the result indeed (maybe it depends on the car colour but I like it on mine ^^) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Onelevenr 100 1 Vehicles Report post Posted May 18 Collected my first Esprit today. Anyone know this car? The guy a bought it from claims it is the only GT3 in Nautilus Blue. Anyone know differently? And another couple. 8 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fridge 212 Report post Posted May 24 (edited) Sorry @stephenwhyte I'm more impressed by the new Queensferry Crossing. That's one helluva bridge! Drive over it the other week in the rain. WOW! Queensferry is such a nice place in the evening. Still love the old Forth Road Bridge though. Such an elegant structure.

Advantage 816 Report post Posted May 25 Just going to quickly chuck this one on here from today's event at Castle Combe. A previous Esprit of mine, the first car I'd ever bought new and my second V8 Esprit. Good to see it still looking striking in the sunshine and a real surprise as it was the first time I've seen it since I sold it almost twenty years ago. Centre exit exhaust is new, but the rest of it is pretty much as how I remember and from my understanding it's still the only Chrome Orange V8 GT in the UK (unless someone knows different?). 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
