Hello again

[Boots]

As the title suggests I have been a member of this forum before. 

Nearly 11 years ago my husband bought me an S3 Turbo Esprit and I loved it (when it was working). Needless to say for a 30+ year old car this was not always the case. 

So after 4 years and a brief ownership of a Lotus Excel I wanted a more reliable car. 

So to cut a long story short after 7 years of owning a BMW 840 and 4 years of owning a Porsche 944s I am returning to my first super car love. 

So at the end of the month (lots going on) I will hopefully be in possession of another S3 Turbo Esprit, and because I’m married to a lovely man and we never do things by halves, I will also have a Lotus Excel. 

Its good to be back

Sue

Welcome back!  I remember your previous S3, lovely car.  Look forward to seeing pictures of the new ones.

Hi Sue (& John), welcome back

[910Esprit]

I recall that car - pale metallic blue?   Jeez was that 11 years ago!

[Mr_John111]

Hi everyone,

Yup, ice blue, 12 years ago she bought it and sold it 8 years ago.
 

new one is one of the Essex blues, not sure of paint code. I’ll let sue post some pics.

we are all keeping well and look forward to seeing some familiar faces when meetings return in some form.

John

Well that’s my collection complete 😃

[Sparky]

Ya nutcase.

[TomE]

Lovely!  Lots of scope there for doing some fantastic two-car pictures

[Bazza 907]

The Excel looks like the same metallic ice blue colour of your previous Esprit 😀

[LOTUSMAN33]

Two beauties to own and both look well cared for, ice blue suits the Excel well although you can’t beat an Essex blue turbo 😎

Welcome back to TLF Sue.

There is something about the older Esprits when they are in the right colour, the angular body just looks great.
