    Brilliant - love a period pic!😎👍👍👍Great to have photos that go so far back! How many miles did you put on her in your ownership Tim? How come you ended up having it off the road for quite so long…..?😢 Thanks for posting the photos👍

    That’s lovely Mark and an unusual spec for a Sport 160😎

    And just incase you’ve not seen this road test Tim, here’s your car being out though it’s paces with some complimentary words to support…… http://www.lotusespritworld.com/ERoadtests/AlternativeCars_May83.html

    To be fair there’s not a lot of bodywork on a 340R so you’ve definitely picked the right Lotus for you!😉……they’re like more like motorbikes with 4 wheels👍😎

    Just reading back Tim and realising how long you’ve owned the car…..have you any photos of it between ‘86 & ‘99 you can share, to keep us going until you’ve completed the resto? Can’t beat some period photos😉👍

    That’s because most manufacturers churn their cars out Justin, and the final prep-finish standards are horrendous……the worst offenders aren’t the manufacturers but the dealers who wash & polish them….🤦🏻‍♂️ If you want a new car to look the way you expect it to look then it’s always a good idea to send to a detailer to finish the paintwork properly and then PPF where required or ceramic coat.

    Fantastic - maybe Lotus will want it back for their new Heritage collection when you’re done!😉 Definitely no side stripes on the Late Late Breakfast Show car and the pinstripe can be see too so ties in and likely your car👍 Can’t wait to see it finished and returned to its best - what kind of timescale are you thinking Tim?

    Nah that’s red Andy……it’s just the film quality……and it’s the only one (as well as Tim’s clearly) that I’ve seen with the coach line & black interior (which was a less popular interior trim colour back in the day seemingly) which would lead me to thinking…….there’s a high possibility it’s actually Tim’s👍

    That was excellent!👏🏻👏🏻😎👍

    I really don’t see it being expensive - it will surprise many with its price point I reckon….it has to!👍
  11. stephenwhyte
    That’s was excellent - thanks @Bibs👏🏻👏🏻👍
  12. stephenwhyte
    Very nice Neil. Have always thought Titanium was a great colour for the later Esprit’s! Great choice.😎👏🏻👏🏻

    Can’t help thinking the new 4 door coupe Lotus Type 133 when it appears, will be styled very similarly to the new Polestar 5…..which I personally think looks very sharp. Tesla (not before time) are about to see some serious competition - their styling is woreful, so should be challenged easily enough!
  14. stephenwhyte
    Thought it was something along that line….👍
  15. stephenwhyte
    So is it a period pic @Bibs, cgi…..or a recreation?
  16. stephenwhyte
    It’s the large one first….definitely!
  17. stephenwhyte
    Looks like much more recent photo to me….🤔 Recent recreation @Bibs?
  18. stephenwhyte
    Bargain and true investment potential! The wing end plates colour need sorted, same with wing supports and the after,Adecals need to go…..then it will be lovely!😎
  19. stephenwhyte
    Yeah let’s see some photos Neil so we can see which spec it is. There’s 3 V8’s that I know of up here in Scotland and I’ve got the Giugiaro Turbo version👍 Hopefully we’ll get a chance to see you & the car at a meet at some point. Welcome to the world of Lotus👍😎
  20. stephenwhyte
    I personally think the sound is on par with the Evora - a lot of doomsayers saying the Emira V6 exhaust is quieter than Evora 4xx but it sounds pretty damn similar to me👍
  21. stephenwhyte
    It’s Shadow Grey without Black Pack - this is the launch V6 that was at Hethel, Goodwood, Laguna Seca & here in Brooklyn. It just looks darker in the available light here…..
  22. stephenwhyte
    Finished at £86,500 plus £6k commission!👏🏻👏🏻
  23. stephenwhyte
    Looks better here with a a more appropriate steering wheel for one thing…..👍

    Go easy Ian and keep it wet!!……said the actress to the Bishop!😳😉
