Regards Dan Hi Mike, glad to hear you got her sold, sorry to hear it at the same time though. Dan, Mike needs a 4 seater now to accommodate his dog. I would suggest a nice Excel or an Elite. One that's good to go, so he has no more nightmares. Mike, did I tell you I have a couple of nice Elites and Excel's for sale. I am sure you will be back in the fold at some point. Keep in touch bud. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Barrykearley Posted September 16, 2018 Gold FFM Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 @johnpwalsh just out of interest - can a person hide in the boot of an excel or an elite 1 Quote Only here once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAR Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 An Elite boot is tiny and it has a glass tailgate. I think you'd be found out trying to hide in one Quote It's getting there...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenwhyte Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 @cbclotus - I just came across this article on your old Esprit while reading through an old Club Lotus mag from 2008. Thought you and others might like to read. Looks exactly the same as when you owned it even though the photo is 10 years old......but did you know it used to be yellow?!😳 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbclotus Posted September 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Thanks Stephen .yes I did know .i have the article kindly given to me by a forum member .The car is in a far better shape than when I bought it ..That's for sure ...Mike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfrost Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Cheers for posting Stephen, great article and nice to see that it got printed in an article, Back then the conversion parts like the renault box,driveshafts and rear hubs would of much cheaper to source than they sadly are these days. Mike is the new owner on the forums ? 1 Quote A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM Escape Posted September 20, 2018 Gold FFM Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Happy for you that you got it sold. I think the new owner good a good deal, hope you'll find something nice (and acceptable for the misses and four-legged friend) to replace it with. Do keep us informed!
