well me new toy arrives next week after having a some work done by lotus.

 

an original s3 turbo esprit a "g" shape car. To go in i have some skinny seats to replace the full pas seats from an exige and new skewed pedals. its had a full lotus check and full c service interior is mint and so is the exterior!!.

 

arrives Tues so should be ready for a drive weds..

 

pic or two of the car!! woohoo another one to drive ;)

I have always loved the Esprit since James Bond drove it into the sea! However I do prefer the later models.

That looks very similar to a car I nearly bought a month or two ago, mind if I ask what part of the country you got it from?

 

Lovely looking vehicle..... :bow:

Si .. top choice bud .. i had the S4 turbo b4 after i had my first Zed .. wasnt as quick as the TT but the handling was far superior to the Zed im sad to say.. be vary wary of the cam belt and tensioners though .. great buy mate :bow: :bow:

Did your S4 have wheelclamps left on it? The 2.2 turbo Esprit was good for 0-60 in 4.7s!
