Botox Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 42 year old surgeon looking for an Esprit V8. MUST HAVE things are - a full service history with the following things checked or done: re-cored radiator, cylinder linings, no gearbox issues, garaged, driven in dry, preferrably mileage <35,000miles, A/C working, no intermittent electrical faults and owner must have way of preventing a flat battery if car is not driven for 2 weeks. DESIRABLE - the higher wing (not the S4S/ Sport 300 wing), federal centre exit exhaust, round tail lights. Colour is irrelevant if car is mechanically sound. I will consider any V8 with or without all these features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loose Cannon Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Sounds like a singles ad! Esprit must have GSOH. Quote In the garage no-one can hear you scream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil e Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 If its any use Stratton collected mine today to sell. Maybe give them a bell. It has all you ask and more apart from the Novas alloys. C service just done. 20k miles if you want a complete run down let me know or look in my garage section. Needs must but I was pretty upset to see it driven into the transporter.

superdavelotus Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I may be selling mine and ticks most of those boxes. It has 36K and FLSH. It's booked into PNM this weekend to have engine removed to have manifold studs redone, cambelt change and turbo oil and water pipes changed, along with a service. It's also having the air con O rings replaced. It should be back in about 2-3 weeks. However I would be looking at offers over £30K. Some of the items/ work done over last 10 years of ownership of my V8 GT finished in titanium (a shade lighter than the picture above: OZ Novas with matching Dunlop SP9000 tyres in excellent condition Hi Spec Monster 6 front brake kit with 323mm drilled discs and alloy bells 321mm drilled disc and alloy bell rear kit Rear round light conversion Centre exit genuine Lotus exhaust with 200 cell sports cats 2002 front spoiler Hi level rear spoiler Clear front and side indicators S300 carbon fibre centre and front console Forge alloy turbo actuators Forge twin dump valves K&N filters radiator upgrade to triple core by PNM engine rebuilt by Lotus at 21K at cost of £10.5K including new block and liners etc. clutch replaced by PNM LH fuel tank replaced PNM garaged and battery always put on trickle charger (I must add that battery hasn't been changed during ownership so could probably do with changing but that's up to new owner) No known gearbox or engine issues No known electrical faults Selling due to lack of use (only did 100 miles in the last year) Regards, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM Barrykearley Posted August 19, 2015 Gold FFM Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 100 miles ! Come on gents - that almost equates to criminal!!! Oh what it must be like to have 3 women on the go and not have chance to drive the car!! Quote Only here once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanya Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 How about 21,000 miles, alloy tanks, straight pipes, never driven in wet, new tyres... Mine's still rockin' the original '96 engine it was born with though Edit: significant other part owner will lynch me if I attempt to sell.

philip600 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Having seen David's Esprit I can honestly say it is without doubt one of the nicest I have ever seen, my favourite colour too. If I had over £ 30k to spend I would snap it up ! Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
