Esprit Picture & Video Thread

They never did send me a copy of that one!

It was brilliant mate.  5 stars!  Nonstop thrills and spills!  I reckon they'd cast Statham as you in the movie.

A little jaunt down the Wye to Tintern for a spot of lunch with my youngest daughter. Just ticked over 95k miles, still goes like the clappers, still loving every second of driving the Esprit.

That's the best bauble I have ever seen on a Christmas tree. 🌲

Looking at @jojo s4s post and Chris Rea playing, perfect timing.

Impressive! And I thought I had some crazy loads in my Esprit... I probably would have taken out the roof and put the tree on the passenger seat but this is way better. 🙂

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.

Is it just me or is there no S4 in this lineup?

I am not sure,

There is a red SE highwing ( with an afterwards modified nose Thomson style) 1992-1993

Followed by a yellow S4 ( also Thomson of course with the wing halfway up the rear) 1993-1996

Followed by a black 300 sport ( Stevens style and OZ rims) 1993

Followed by a blue S4S ( Thomson, OZ rims) 1995-1996

Followed by the green/yellow striped GT3 ( V8 wing added?) 1996-1998

You're right. The yellow car is an S4. Just looked odd when the tailgate was open. Silly me.

Wishing you all a happy and safe 2022!

Since the video above doesn’t work, here’s a picture with the skyline; we are very close to the Singapore F1 track 😀

I never need an excuse to display a picture of S1 Esprit interior but on showing this to my other half today, her description is one I will use from now on to describe this legendary trim:

"Gorgeous, although it does rather look like Les McKeown in a life-raft".

@Sparky has worked his post production magic on a pic he took of my car at FOS - he’s captured about the best angle I’ve ever seen of an S1 IMHO 😊

[Sparky]

Awwww, fanks mate!  I'm still a Photoshop amateur, so this was good practice.

[Jack Stone]

Thought for a moment this might have been @Sparky 's drive...

[Sparky]

Haha, I know exactly where that is as I look after both his TEs, and a couple of XR3is!

[Sparky]

To correct the Twitter post, this drive contains a TE, an HC, two XR3i Cabriolets, an MG Midget, and an old Merc SL.  So, only 2 Esprits.
