Looks like Stokenchurch Tower? 

[tomcattom]

That it is 👏

[Giniw]

So very nice!

A few snaps I've taken of my Turbo SE, now actually cleaned and washed....

 

What a joy it is to walk out of the house to this sight...

Some of you guys my know my Uncle has a se turbo which he's had from new in Grey. 

Anyway he found a few pics of his previous esprits and so I thought I'd post them up. 

It was on his private plate at the time but maybe you might have history stating the plate from years ago. 

Many thanks guys.

I thought Colin Chapman’s silver turbo esprit looked awesome in the Emira launch😀.

Just left the S1 in good company on the Cartier lawn at Goodwood - the theme is wedges of course 😂

[skiing]

I shall take a look at that S1 tomorrow. My S3 will just be in the usual car park! Sadly not as exalted company...

With regards to side-by-side comparisons, here's the UK's final dark blue turbocharged Esprit with one of the first (Essex courtesy of @Bazza 907 )

First trip to one our offices in yonks. 220 mile round trip, didn't miss a beat. Temp crept up a bit but stayed below 90. Anyone else get right foot cramp whilst toddling along at a constant speed on the motorway for ages?

@Hornsey Boy Dragan's pretty HC here for some clutch hydraulics yesterday.

Yes.

Contemplating cruise-control. Sure there’s a thread about it somewhere on TLF.

Only in slow traffic. I do feel my knees a bit after a couple hours of non-stop driving...

Exclusive teaser!

The footage looks good, when’s the full version coming Fabian, they do look so smart all together?

I take it the 2CV owner lives nearby as you used that in the practical classics pages?

Hi Dave,

expect the full video in about three weeks. The camera man is very talented, so should be some of the best Esprit footage ever. The two CV owner was able to drive up for the shoot, although he's not nearby. 
We go through all the differences the Bond cars have from the normal production cars. 
I managed to pick up a stone chip on the Turbo screen by manoeuvring a few feet behind the filming car  at high speed. Worth it to get the footage though. 
Cameras were mounted inside, outside the cars with a drone doing aerial shots. Can’t wait to see the final cut.

Keep an Eye out for Classic and Sports car Bond edition in October.

Oh the skis now tested to 80 Mph, with some sharp turns!

[LOTUSMAN33]

Looks lovely in the sun, nice shot!

Really looking forward to watching that and what a great way to finally celebrate all the effort and attention to bond detail.

It all adds to the cars history and value as well.

This looks great Fabian. Well done to you and all who made the effort, including the 2CV

We did a charity run for an animal shelter today and 2 friends came along with there Esprits:
