Seems to be a few v8’s coming for sale https://www.facebook.com/groups/18682611768/permalink/10159985171396769/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/984001969512085/permalink/1209613836950896/?sale_post_id=1209613836950896

What needs to be done to make this useable on the road (from lack of use)?

And this too in Pistonheads. 2002 V8 in deep purple, under 5k miles. Interesting to think what this is worth POA. https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/16078500

Anyone know the white dry sump just come up for sale? Quite a price difference to the black turbo.

So thats a £15k adder to the selling price since the auction. I didn't realise the market was that buoyant 😮

Seems to be a few V8’s in silver.. and this Sport 350 pops up. Anyone know the car? https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/15696841

Does anyone know the background to this red S4S which seems to have been round a couple of dealers / auctions? https://www.carandclassic.com/car/C1575601

Shaun at Road to Race (Wilden, Bedford) has a covered trailer. It’s not his main business to transport cars but might quote you.

This one, 5.2L V8? Not original then. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202302033906241

How about this? Anyone know the car? https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202302033906241

Hi anyone know of this car? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255802047907?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=dWyUQPb0SWu&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=nWMKfE7uSFa&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Hi, posting on behalf of a friend Looking for an Esprit 1999 onwards for a photo shot with my Noble M12. This is for a publication but some images will be shared. Can be S4 / S4S / V8 and GT3 (the later the better). Ideally in the Bedfordshire area, or not to far, but I’m assured fuel costs will be re-bursed. 07921 889025

Given some of the comments & how figures are presented in the media, this could be an interesting read: http://news.sky.com/story/four-different-covid-death-tolls-how-bad-was-mortality-in-2021-compared-to-2020-12513215

That’s good news Barry!

That’s true. Currently kids in school don’t need to wear masks - a source of frustration during prev lockdown - then had to wear them in corridors. The govt have been cagey in seeding the public with what might be coming, and then introduce restrictions. I really hope this doesn’t happen again, but only science will prove that. As to the effect of the new strain - main media are having a field day sensationalising a story to sell more content (my personal bike) - we need to wait for science. (I’m tripple jabbed and all for vaccines by the way)

With this new variant now identified, we have a delay until science can understand how effective the current set of vaccines will be against severe illness and worse. Death rates are low for covid (related), I just wish the govt would show the age groups for those daily infections - the rate has been 40k plus for a while now, so would be interesting to correlate age groups of infection vs the death. I’m all for protecting ourselves from infection, but as Barry said above does mask wearing really help (sorry if that provokes further debate) when infection rates still climbed.

What did you think of this S4S you went to see?

Hi, Sorry for posting this on the Esprit forum vs Eclat, but there’s a wider community on this side. The 504 has the 2L engine but seems to be losing a fair about of oil towards the plugs. Is this normal from such a leak - cam tower or cover? I believe the cam covers were re-sealed not replaced, and still has cork gasket on the sump. Seemed to run ok but was struggling a little on idle (likely needs a good tune up)

Hi here’s a couple more images. Can anyone point me where we need to be looking for major issues / service items?

Hi, just wondering if anyone knows of this car for sale https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/930025974232469/ The ad says 1980 Lotus Elite 504 automatic · Coupe · Driven 43,500 kilometres Good all round condition body off restoration some years back original radio, mirrors, spare wheel, tool roll with spanner’s Read less

A beautiful V8 from 97 and only 26k miles near Cranfield today

There seems to be little mention by the EU of Serum Institute in India, who are licensed to manufacture the AZ vaccine, and supplied 10m to the UK. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKCN2AV0A2

£47k for an S4S is prohibitively expensive, yes they are the pinnacle of the S4 development and on the rare side, but £47k is optimistic to say the least, esp when there are 2 x V8, £35k and £38k, the latter with an engine rebuild. Bauke has a nice yellow S4S in the NL, no connection to me and it’s RHD, maybe worth getting in touch?

This one is down the road from me, I can walk there in a few mins.. let me know if you’d like me to take a look.

Attached (if it works) is an image of the underside of the RED S4S for sale. I’d very much like this one but the Exige S gets in the way (and the Mrs wouldn’t be too pleased).
