Mean machine! And I like that you protect the trailer, not the car

This car was made to scare the crap out of other sportscars, namely the German panzerwagen aka 911, Italian spaghetti a la 308/328/348 etc.

Cheers,

Couple of shots from Stonor Supercars & Classics Day yesterday.

Had a factory tour a few weeks ago. Today - we were VERY kindly allowed back to Hethel to take some pictures of my 88 Stevens. Here are a few - which I hope the forum likes. MANY thanks to Lotus Cars for MAKING MY YEAR!

I wonder where the big white letters went. I would have put them in my garage

Is it possible for anybody owning a (couple of) Lotus? Or just someone buying a new one? (an Evija? )

Anyone else spotted this quick glimpse of an Esprit in a current Sky TV advert staring Idris Elber for sky cinema channel?

[tomcattom]

Just saw that advert myself a few moments ago. Glad I didn't imagine seeing the Esprit.

The old girl just after we'd passed our 100k miles milestone.

Keeping it blue, have a look at this blue modified Thai S4. Spotted by one of our classic car club members. 

[Escape]

Those headlights are horrid... But the bodykit looks nice, similar to the GT1 cars. Just needs a racing wing to finish it off.

Not sure if this is true or not, but this guy says he has a S6 prototype.

No, this is just a dude talking out his ass. The only accurate spec he gave was the car has 8 cylinders.

Most recent photo of my Esprit. Fender flares made by the same guy that built the blue GT1 esprit @Gis posted above. Hopefully bringing it home in a couple more weeks!

@mike_sekinger Id like to hear your thoughts on this mans claims. I dont know much about the V8 cars.

 

[mike_sekinger]

@JimmytheTurbo  It`s 99% bullshit.  The guy is a complete muppet who either made this bollocks up or swallowed it wholesale from whoever sold him the car.

[JimmytheTurbo]

Thought thats how it sounded...

When he said he was the only Esprit running Evans waterless but still had the system cleaner made me think. That and the fact Ive been using it in my turbo for 15 years.

[ChrisJ]

Thought I'd recreate a picture I took 30+ years ago (although not at Goodwood this time)
