Jenna'sEspritTurbo Posted March 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Coverdale supplied a nice product at a reasonable price that the fit up was simple and accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenna'sEspritTurbo Posted June 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Penelope is with Ralph at RS Motorsports in Closter NJ getting a level C and some other odds and ends sorted out including the life giving timing belt. I have this fear of that thing. It can be an Angel or The Devil. Breathing life or taking it away. I am so forward to getting her back with the carbs in perfect harmony. First time she has been serviced by a G car pro in over 15 years. I cant wait for her to come home 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAR Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 You've done a great job on the interior, it looks lovely. I bet you are looking forward to stretching Penelope's legs when she returns (not a euphemism). Quote It's getting there...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jenna'sEspritTurbo Posted August 2, 2016 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 So its been a while. I sent the car into RS Motorsports here to have the water pump and timing belt replaced along with a level C tune. When I got the car back we ended up having to take the fuel tanks out of Penelope and doing a lot more then I ever wanted to get involved with. The group effort came in with 30 hours to get the tanks out with the engine in. Going back was a bit easier as we just threw everything in and closed the bonnet lol. But it was easier going back together. Two weeks of hot humid weather and we got her back together and on the road again. I am still doing small things to get her ready for the LOG36 meet this weekend but she is now finally a daily driver if I desire to do so. This winter she will get the header from the group buy and a new headliner. You arent ever really done working on a Lotus, are you? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herbert Harvey Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) Hey Jenna, I just wanted to tell you that I love that you named your Esprit "Penelope". My 1971 Norton Commando that I owned for 25 years was named Penelope. Very traditional English Girls name. I now have a 1989 Lotus Esprit Turbo and I certainly couldn't give Her the same name as my beloved Norton Commando. So my Girlfriend and I decided to name Her Betsy. Your Giugiaro styled Esprit Looks Amazing! I really wanted the body style that you have when i started looking for an Esprit. It just so happened I couldn't find a decent example in Northern California at the time. So I opted for the 1989 I got from a Doctor who blew the Turbo and parked it. I am very happy with it, I do dream of having a Giugiaro body style Esprit some day, if the opportunity ever presents itself I would be all over it. .
