SamanthaTX 1 Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Hiya - I have joined in a casual search for my old car, an Esprit S2.2 from 1980, which I had during the late '90s. It's black with black half leather (or it was then!) and gold alloys, with the reg. no. BOR 626V. I've been told it is still about and I'm just keen to see what it looks like now, should the current owner be on here and happy to share a pic. Many thanks and I'll have a good browse round the rest of the forums, too! Sam.x Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bravo73 1,338 Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Welcome The good news is that ‘your’ Esprit is still alive. It has got a current MOT!

ramjet 1,090 Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Welcome to TLF Samantha. Hope you can track down your car. Would be good. I remember a lady coming up to myself and my wife in a shopping centre in Victoria. She used to be the partner of the first owner of my car when it lived in Sydney. Any quesyions or issues with using the forums, feel free to ask one of us mods. We're here to help.
