Update: SOLD. Thanks ESP88

Bought this as part of the group buy. Figured sooner or later my manifold would crack and I'd need to replace it. The insurance policy worked - the Esprit is now gone and the original manifold was still good. So this is now surplus to requirements. If you're not familiar with these there's a thread in this forum: https://www.lotustalk.com/threads/fs-one-of-al-bs-4-cyl-lotus-esprit-turbo-manifolds.331201/ https://www.lotustalk.com/threads/bought-one-of-the-al-b-headers.357601/ Asking $595. Pick up in Dallas or add your preferred shipping.

These were my spares, but the Esprit is now gone so I'm offering them to anyone interested. They were for my 89 non-chargecooled Esprit. They are for the rear 8J x 15. There are no cracks, dents or serious scratches, but the clear coat needs to be redone. Asking $150 each or $250 the pair. Pick up in Dallas Texas. or add your choice of shipping.

Amen, Mike. We tried to do that in Texas and failed. While Lotus Ltd rightly cautioned us about potential problems, we felt we adequately addressed all the concerns - but to no avail. Not everything will work perfectly but we shouldn't be afraid to try something different once in a while. I'm still regretting that hotel dinner when we could have had a real Texas BBQ…..

Note: you can get access to the pre-sale by simply signing up for email on the site: http://circuitoftheamericas.com/email/ I'll be there but went for General Admission - will be interesting to see the state of the GA spectator areas and whether they have enough big screens up to show what's happening during the race….
