Popular Post Mark Blanchard Posted September 19, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 These compomotives don't come up very often. Like every 10 years or so. And they're a set of 4. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lotus-Esprit-15-Compomotive-4-wheels-with-tryes-for-1976-1981-/142510540127?hash=item212e4a455f:g:JEsAAOSwG7lZvscH 3 Quote Mark www.lotusespritturbo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyww Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 The fronts dont look the same as the ones used on the Turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOTUSMAN33 Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Hi Andy These we're changed by Compomotive to improve leakage on the front steering wheels, you could have them exchanged so even a few Essex have them. I got this info from Compomotive when I discussed remanufacture. Dave 2 Quote Do or do not, there is no try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOTUSMAN33 Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 I always fancied a S4s in white but only ever seen one? Mind nothing wrong with Red or Yellow ? Dave Quote Do or do not, there is no try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swindon_alan Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Erm, not a great fan of the Saturns. Either (preferably) AWIs or Novas. I so adore the S4s Futuras though - but don't tell @ian29gte or I will never hear the last of it... 1 Quote I tempted fate...now my Esprit V8 IS in bits...(sob) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have two of the best Esprits short of an S2, a JPS, an Essex, a Sport 300 (avoiding eight cylinders here as I know you have been there and not done that!) Evoras? Pah!
