Esprit's required for photoshoot at Hethel

[Bibs]

This is for a new Johnny Tipler book, your car will be famous forever!

The date is to be confirmed but more than likely a Saturday soon...

• S3 N/A
• Esprit X180 NA
• Esprit Turbo X180
• Esprit Turbo SE
• Early V8
• Sport 350
• Late/final V8

Please let me know if you'd like to be involved by posting below. Ideally we're after standard cars as they came out of the factory. All being well, catering will be provided on the day in the form of light refreshments and there may be a chance to have a tour of the Emira production line.

How about a monaco white SE HighWing? 😉

But where will it be? Maybe a short trip to southern UK might be interesting ...

Correct reading is the key to success.... HETHEL...
If my car is ready to go again and date and time is ok, I am interested!

Not everyone's favourite but I have one of eleven S4 cars in standard trim and of course what might be considered as 'very' Lotus colours - even down to the red steering wheel.

Shame it's likely to be a winter photo shoot but I might be up for it if needed

[JR]

I'm interested. White X180 N/A.

I could probably provide an S3 HC NA if needed (in black).

[Rudi K]

JPS #40 would probably be up for the drive over to Hethel. Is there a date yet?

Interested, 87 HC Turbo that belonged to Lotus for 10 years, was used for the Bilstien/Eibach spring/damper development program and photographed in the Jeremy Walton expensive book! Local to Hethel

Cobalt blue 2003 V8 uk last 15 available if needed

How about 2 high-wings?

Wow, what a colour! Nice V8!

[Essex Metallic]

I'd be interested.  Mine's a black 1999 V8 (sorry, only picture I had to hand)

(jumping on the bandwagon... sorry Bibs...)

If anyone is keen to make their Esprit mildly famous, but misses out on this, I'd be happy to make a video of you driving it.

Catering and light refreshments also provided.  I may struggle to arrange a factory tour though, unless you want to tag along with me & my Dad when we head to the Triumph motorcycle facility this winter!
