Esprit Market Watch

[Mark Blanchard]

I can see the roof of my Esprit on the right.  Was a good day.  Didn't we all get caught speeding by a copper with a tripod camera? 

[Bazza 907]

I thought that was Alan filming with his camera. If it was a copper my ticket must have got lost in the post..

Barrie, have you ever driven your Essex over 30?

[Bibs]

He's been doing that for many years!

 

[Bazza 907]

Yes and if you two don't watch it I'll have driven over 32 soon...

You already have I'm afraid, Barrie.

Speed of Earth's rotation: 1,000 mph (at the equator...your mileage may vary)

Speed of the Earth around the sun: 66,000 mph

Speed of the Sun (with Earth "attached") to complete one trip around the Milky Way Galaxy (the "Galactic Year"): 484,000 mph

Speed of the Milky Way Galaxy through the Universe, using the CBR (cosmic background radiation) as a frame of reference: 1,300,000 mph

Your speedometer reading must be added or subtracted, proportionately, depending on which way your Essex is pointed, to arrive at the correct vector velocity. 

 

End of pedantic physics instruction.

Wow - how did someone have that in their garage and not use it ??? Madness

[The Pits]

That rare and lovely thing sold some time ago. Looks like an absolute bargain already, especially when you see this: http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/lotus/esprit/lotus-esprit-v8-rhd-1999/6481711

99k miles V8 asking £45k!

[Barrykearley]

It's not a bi turbo!! It's twin turbo - there's a difference !

looks like cars are coming to the market at decent values now - would love to say it's only worth a tenner as I could bag a couple - but the esprit is starting to rise in profile and value now

That car lives up the road from me (or used to), belonging to @Jonathan who was turning into an Sport 300/X180R replica before he disappeared a few years back...

Strange advert. Is Ebay aware of other auction houses using the classified section to direct punters away to their own activities?

Ropey example by the look of it and chock full of annoying cliches but positive overall.
