Esprit Picture & Video Thread

I have been a happy owner to this Esprit

[Mysterae]

It's been ages since I posted pictures of my Esprit here and since I had got her out for a check over I thought why not. Then it started to rain of course!

Looks fantastic. 

In fact the whole adventure looks great fun...

Love that green Esprit, my 2nd favourite colour .

I just see this in the above post

[Finlandese]

Hmmm.. Works fine for me. Is anyone else having problems?

 

[exeterjeep]

I can see it.

[ChrisJ]

Must be me - The above was in Edge, I'm getting this in Chrome.

And similar for any other site - apart from TLF - which I can still post to - has Bibs taken over the Internet.

There was a bug with youtube, that left it running on sd indefinatly. I re did the uplaod and then replaced the old links with the new one. Facebook doesn´t want to for get the old one, so it keeps loading up the old (inactive) screenshot link, even though the link is new (and working). Maddening...

Very strange - my router had lost connection to the Internet - apart from this thread that I was browsing, and still able to post to. Router re-booted, all good, and I can see the video above

Indeed Brands Hatch 2013 , The Esprit timeline.

One of each type esprit, (1976 -2004) placed in order of production. It was great. Also the only time I was in the UK with my esprit.

They needed an S2.2 for the timeline, so that was reason enough to cross the pont.

Unfortunately, the red S1 didn't make it to the track, so first we had the blue S2, then there was a JPS S2 that also wasn't on the track, so my S2.2 was second in line followed by the essex esprit, an S3 and a turbo esprit and then the stevens esprits up to the last V8 models.

I don't know if this video has been posted before. It makes an interesting watch. Has coverage of the Bell and Colvill Turbo Esprit, before the official introduction of the official Lotus version.

Great interview with Martin Colvill about the car and turbochargers being the future !

 

 

[Bibs]

One of my old Esprits! 

 

[Sparky]

Never seen it drive that slow.

[C8RKH]

Or the suspension so high?

[Sparky]

TBH I don't recall seeing it with 4 wheels.

Ah, there was this one time on a police pursuit video...
