Esprit Picture & Video Thread

[Andy Esprit SE]

Hi fellas,

Here's some pics of my esprit getting out to local car shows and the odd classic car rally. 

1st pic shows 10 years apart making it my own over some time.

I'm amazed at the crowd this car pulls everytime we go out.

I've got some running maintenance as usual, just done a headlight motor, got a new waste gate actuator to go on shortly. 

I've tried so go pro videos but need to perfect my planning for the videos. 

Hope everyone is enjoying there cars this year.

Finally got granted access to DALL-E 2. Here's what that AI generated for the term 'Lotus Esprit in the rain'. It's getting there, but fear not Skynet just yet...

The first one looks a bit like the racer @plumdeplakmuis is building, I like it! 😎 Wrong number of wipers though.

@Jack Stone, looks a little like the same place for the Absolute Lotus shots of mine. Near Gaydon?

Lightweight beautiful forged hre 19s with titanium spacers all around. Handles 100 times better and is much more comfortable at higher speeds. I polished these and re washed allot👌

That's very nice, what colour red is that?

[Giniw]

Silk red but with a yellow-ish filter I would say?

[exeterjeep]

Is that Bibs' new garden shed. Wish my garage had all that.

[Bibs]

Ruby Red, same as both of my Elise's. It's currently in for routine service at Strattons.

My first Esprit test drive was in a ruby red V8. Summer of 1997, Sandridge of Torbay, Paignton.  Absolutely gorgeous colour.

[Bazza 907]

Agree with comments on the colour but needs a creme interior to really set it off.

Nice to see Stattons servicing an Excel as well as an Esprit.

It looks nice, is it slightly yellow in real life too?

Oh dear, I know Lotus stick to road like glue but they do look better the right way up, I can't seem to fix it, can a moderator sort it for me?

Try to sort orientation

[JR]

I'm not staff but here it is fixed...

[jonwat]

The Esprit needs a rear spoiler, S4s type preferably 😊
