[esprit s2]

[Loose Cannon]

Plus twos are.....

[MartinL]

Pleased to see i am not the only one to keep a +2 on the road at this time of year............

[Bibs]

That's a very pretty looking car, jealous

[ILoveEsprit]

One of the best looking sportcar in the mid 60~~

[theelanman]

thanks guys......

took me about 4 years to finish it.......

it was a runner when I got it.......I then turned it into a bag of bits and then came this

a couple more pics for you

[Guy Munday]

Very nice.

Always preferred the Plus 2 because, at 6'3", I can fit in it!

[theelanman]

when I stored it in the barn........I forgot to go and look at it for about 18 months.....

came back to it one day....to find a few presents on the paint.......

[Guy Munday]

I hope you managed to save the original badge?

They're getting rare and valuable now!

[theelanman]

yep still got the badge.....got a couple actually.....

you can still get the old style from club lotus or chris neils.......I never understand what the panic is about.....

I got 2 last time I ordered as they were only £26 ea...

cheers

Very nice G

[el-torro]

inspires me to get my +2 done next year,previous 2 owners did not mainly due to illness and work

[theelanman]

unfortunately a life moment meant that that car had to go.......think that was about Oct 2010

anyway I missed it so much I bought another in March 2012.....

erm and I bought another early car.......

I wanted early because I prefer the interior......

I searched and searched and......erm ended up with a car that left Hethel on the same day as my first +2....and was actually 16 cars later in production numbers.......

That really is a beautiful early car, I only hope mine which is much later looks as good when I've finished it.

[jonwat]

Very nice, pure elegance.
