I've never seen so many Esprits in one place. Should have been there but it's quite a drive.

Thats quite a turn around mate! nice one!

Great photo's I have to say, bieng typically dippy I forgot my camera so if you dont mind I think I might pilfer these? P.S. did you get anymore pics of my black S3 (VLF).

Thanks to everyone at Porridge Pot who push started me, I would like to point out I didn't turn it off! you know who you are though! hehe.

P.S. tested everything, bridged the starter motor terminals and nout happened so im thinking knackered Starter motor, but when engines running starter motor will kick when key is turned? is that norml for a f****d starter motor?

THanks all for a great first esprit meet absolutely loved it, especially thanks to Mike in the Yellow esprit and Tim in the SE literally wouldnt have got there without you.

Ahh Brilliant thanks Simon!

that ones going on my desk at the office, it will pee off my porsche loving colleague!

We definately have to do this sort of thing more regularly, how easy was it for every body to get to Stoneleigh? is it fairly central? or is there a better place to meet? good meeting spot? averaging 100mph (uhhumm I mean 100kmh mr officer) and it only took 1 hour 10minutes from Surrey!

Thanks again to Paul and anyone else involved in the organisation definately the best car 'thing' I have done for ages!

Like the shot of the back of the 2 G Turbos Paul, I sometimes forget how good they can look. Black bumpers on G Turbos....it's the future.

Who had the red S1?

[WayneB]

Great photos of some interesting cars

Paul C took these of the William towns designed M70 proposal

Was it originally red? (have only saw B+W photos in the past)

Maserati Merak inspired flying buttreses!

That Elite looks unusual too.

With a sloping back roofline. B)

Was it done by Frank Costin?

[Paul C]

Well spotted! The only fastback Elite

racking my brains now for the name of the guy, but both the

elite and the europa belonged to him. famous lotus restorer.

[bramble111s]

Great pics, cheers for that. Sorry to have missed it, but was a long way away...

Whats going on with that white Micra?! Does it have an esprit engine in there of something?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yes.

Well sort of, it's built on an Excel Chassis.

Fishy really likes it, says it's the best micra

he's ever seen (and he looks at loads).

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Ha! Stock brakes for me! I think i was still braking when we got to the venue!

(BTW all, there are regular camera vans on the bridges we passed under on the

A46, i knew this and checked as we went along, but it's something you gotta do

if you are planning on 'using' that road)

how many bananas were we doing ? I was behind you pete and not looking at my speedo, just thinking we left it a bit late for the off slip!!!

[Evil_Dr_Fish]

That Red S1 also sounded AWESOME!!!

I'm guessing that was most definitely not a stock exhaust!

Hi the exhaust is stainless steel S2 Down pipes, S2 stright through Middle (no collector box) and the rear box is also S2 stright through box, I also get a lot of intake noise as im running K&N Racing Air filters, and the carbs are running bigger main chokes and jetted to suit.
