  1. Shame about the sills and front spoiler. They dont sit well on the S2. Off off off................
  2. Good riddance. Fed up with hearing Jimmy Crankies bleating
  3. Lol. Mike I didnt mean you were scamming I meant a third party may have replicated your photos and used them to scam someone after the listing had closed.
  4. Listing no longer there. May have been a scam following the original advert?
  5. It doesnt make any sense and certainly has no meaning. Lazy piece of summary that doesn't even differentiate between variants of a model
  6. The blanking plugs seal the oil gallery. Im not sure that tightening it will make any difference as they are supposed to be inserted with Permabond A134 IIRC, to make the seal complete. Im not sure if there is anything to be gained otherwise? Just my thoughts. By the way it is a 1/8 the BSP dowel, not sure on the hex size. Same applies to the exhaust manifold studs using Permabond A025.

    Nice S4

    Nice colour.Rear lights are awful and the rear panel and bumper are a different colour yellow. Original front splitter has also been replaced by a later version. Otherwise quite lovely.
  8. Very Nice. Shame about the god awful sunroof
  9. Will be there Thursday through to Sunday. 11th year. Seen some changes
  10. Non original interior is a real detraction as is the engine bay uplift ! £100k because it is "James Bond" white
  11. Not sure that the door is sagging, but there is whole load of wiring taped up and hanging from the drivers window. Have to agree with Barry that the sunroof massively detracts from the overall desirability of the car
  12. Stupidity from the owner and the authorities. Absolute brickless morons. Politicians I sh*t em.
  13. Hi Pete. Yes I think it might have been.
  14. Looks alright to me, although I can imagine they could be a bit of a nuisance in some instances. Looks like a "Go Kart" axle on the rear with slicks for the drifting.
  15. Yeah your spot on Pete. Its was in there in 2004 when I was looking for an S4. They also had a red X180. Cant recall if it was an SE?
  16. Avez ! Yuk http://img.pistonheads.com.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/LargeSize/lotus/esprit/lotus-esprit-S2645181-1.jpg
  17. The Esprit steering wheel is 3 spoke on the JPS version.
  18. I suppose 42 pages is a reflection of people's interest in the subject matter and how it relates to their cars. My own thoughts are it is helpful when the market moves and to have an indication that my own car is insured in line with the current market. I would suggest that for some less affluent and not so cash rich, that their purchase is a once in a lifetime opportunity on a car that is slowly becoming less obtainable, not only from a price perspective but also availability. I am in the process of spending a lot of money on my own Esprit. This has no bearing other than I want to keep my car in great condition and use it when it suits myself. However. I would not quibble if my super spend is ultimately recouped in an increase in value ?
