Very nice, Steffen!

 

What are the wheels, btw?

My new business project to make some Evora drivers more happy 🙂

In Germany it was impossible to get any high class aftermarket wheel for the Evora including TÜV license (very difficult wheel layout, small quantities, low weight needed) so I used my longtime business experience and contacts for pure racing wheels to change that situation. 

Some infos here: www.leitspeed-wheels.de

Mine looking shinier than it ever has done (or will do).

 

Spent the last three days at PW Pro, where Paul and Reiss have done a fantastic job - detail, ceramic all around and xpel fitted to the front, mirrors and roof.

My BMW spent a couple of days there as well for a paint correction detail, and apart from a few battle scars (5 years of motorways and airport car parks will do that), it's looking fantastic.

Instead of the usual exterior beauty shots here’s something from the depths....front anti roll bar support bracket holding .. thing...can’t see it on deroure so not sure what to call it.

When I read some of the threads about some of the issues customers are having with lotus I do wonder why bother even thinking about another one in the future or how on Earth can they charge what they do or why not get a more mass produced performance coupe, and then chance upon something like this bracket.

i was getting the geo done after a years driving and having a general root around and these brackets need removing to drop the anti roll bar to allow some spanner twirling. We stopped to look at them. They could be cheaper, less intricate and heavier,  but they’re not. They’re a little bit of machined alloy extrusion that do a job in a light delicate but immensely strong way that none of us will probably see tucked away behind the flat floor. Some engineer / cad operator had a job to create a bracket and could of easily knocked up something more ... rustic. But they didn’t , instead they made this.

And with that faith is renewed in the knowledge that there is a certain passion in doing things the lotus way.

Now ffs Lotus sort out the quality control so we can all continue to enjoy some nicely created product.

And don’t forget the wishbones

Anyway thought I’d share, it’s certainly interesting getting one of these in the air.

Needed only minor tweaks, great job byTony@ blackboots.co.uk

You may be right! I love the Esprit S1/S2... If only one can arrive at their destination with all parts still there...;-))

Almost been there done that...Had an SE, which was cool, but do not miss it over the Evora

However, if there is ever a kind of "Singer" Version of the Espri, like the Singer Porsches.. it would be my dream car!!

Really interesting pictures, Stubox 👍

My P&J with some of its 'pals' when we went to collect our bottles of 'limited edition' Jim Clark 50th Anniversary whisky last Saturday.

Recent run (for a review) on Salisbury Plain:

Another from same shoot.

 

A/C failed halfway through (it was only 26 ℃ and sunny as hell..!) thanks to a stone through condenser, I think.

[Instinct_NZ]

Got a new camera so decided to take a few pics of the new look... There will be some more soon when the GT4 wing arrives.

Side stripe and black highlights look good. Could I ask what size your front tyre is? They look to be PS4S. Seems to be much wider than my 225/40 pilot super Sport on the same rims.

Does my bum look big in this 

 

I like the rims as well, do you have any pics of them? are they standard on the GTE?

thanks

[Bravo73]

Yes, specific to the GTE. You can’t buy them anymore (until some/all of the GTE owners band together and get another batch made). 

[21gg]

Yes standard on the gte, as said, no more in existence, made by team dynamics for lotus.

[pete757]

Great vids Bibs! Thanks!

The 2 GT430's at 6,500 plus sounded like a WW11 raid! Awesome! 😎

[Bravo73]

They also seemed to leave the Pork & the Stradale in their wake. 👍

[550superfast]

what was the silverstone lap time @The Pits ?

[Mark Blanchard]

Wow, what a vid!!  The 430 basically wastes everything.  That was so good to watch
