Giniw 295 Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 I just noticed you left the 70th sticker (^^), and then noticed you don't have the top part of the windscreen smoked? Was it optional? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chillidoggy 4,396 Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 This is the screen that was fitted when I bought the car, I think it may have a slight green tint, but not sure. It's just as well there's no smoked top, as I sit so high in the car I wouldn't be able to see. That bloody sticker drives me crazy, I hate anything stuck in the windscreen. Sadly, the wife likes it and says it has to stay, so I'm working on a gradual removal plan. 2 Quote Margate Exotics. Link to post Share on other sites
Giniw 295 Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 The top smoked part basically covers only the roof thickness so I suspect it's more to hide it from the exterior than really shade any sun for the eyes. (I think it was optional but I am not sure, I think I read it in a price list ... but could have imagined that as well :D) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Buddsy 1,643 Posted July 10, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Had the esprit out with the roof out. Great drive around the broads. When I got home I found passenger side full of what looked like ash??? I was a bit worried until I realised I think it's seeds from Buddleia plant?? Must have been a bit close to the ole hedgerows at times 🙂 buddsy 2 1 1 Quote "Belief is the enemy of knowing" - Crrow777 Link to post Share on other sites

MPx 279 Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 ...and I got the same look when I trailered the car backwards and all of the "foam" in the B-pillar cavity disintegrated and blew into the car. 1 Quote Loving Lionel and Eleanor......missing Charlie and Sonny Link to post Share on other sites

silverfrost 1,390 Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Are those Alfas the little 2 seaters they built that are in competition with the elise ? We all know the Esprit is super low, but they even look skinny compaired to the Alfas too ! and esprits are 6 1/2 foot wide lol ! Quote A Link to post Share on other sites

Ironically the 4C is almost identical to the the Esprit in width. Ok the Alfa is 7cm taller give or take, but the Esprit is 20cm longer. Esprit [S2] Width - 186cm, 4C Width - 186.4cm Esprit [S2] Length - 419cm, 4C Length - 398cm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gold FFM Escape 812 Posted July 15, 2019 Gold FFM Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Those Alfa's are 8C, length 438.1cm, width 189.4cm and height 134.1, so a bit bigger and much higher than the Esprits. Definitely good company! Quote I have made many mistakes in my life. Buying a multiple Lotus is not one of them. Link to post Share on other sites
