Popular Post Final Edition Posted December 28, 2019 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 Hi all, not much progress on the restoration I'm afraid. It's still in storage but I visited it today and put the K699 JCL number plates on. I also received the 1994 Lotus calendar I bought off eBay which has a picture of it inside, I love collecting these bits of history on it. The plan is still to export it to America. I'm now working in California which has strict emissions laws. I will probably have to apply for 'show and display' status that allows people to import rare non US cars. Although Lotus sold Esprits in America in the 90's they had different emissions hardware on the engine which I have no appetite to install. Wishing you all a successful 2020 on your projects! 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Barrykearley Posted December 28, 2019 Gold FFM Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 You’d be so much better off swapping that for say an 09 plate Evora LE in titanium storm and some folding to take to the states 😉 1 Quote Only here once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final Edition Posted September 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 Sorry @DanR nothing new to report. I'm still in California, haven't had the time to ship it over yet. I might keep it in the U.K and restore it there. Keeping my eye on this Sport 300 auction! https://themarket.co.uk/en/listings/lotus/esprit-sport-300/a2c4df24-c22e-418c-bee1-a9a1262940c2?status=live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
