Giniw 257 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chillidoggy 3,975 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giniw 257 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buddsy 1,492 1 Vehicles Report post 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 Share this post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Escape 701 2 Vehicles Report post 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!
