Why does this always happen? Just arrived at Goodwood and no sooner got out the car and turned on the camera than some damn Porsche arrives to ruin the picture!

There’s certain angles on the esprit that are just epic. Park it, look back at it, smile. It doesn’t get old.

Forget the Pork, that looks like one wonderful Esprit. Very nice.

In other words, you did it, so suffer the consequences on your own!

Your car is stunning Andy - but can't help thinking black door mirrors would look even better

Excellent pictures of a beautiful car. It almost looks like a toy car under that plane.

Like many of us, I imagine, I've been mesmerized by the Esprit since I was 11 years old and saw an S1 in 1976 at a show. Back then, it seemed truly otherworldly.

Others will disagree but I now think the V8 looks the best. That is awesome in black!

Impossible to call. Would have to get both!

I'm always up for an argument. That 80s Turbo in white and red is without a doubt one of the most stunning production cars Lotus has ever produced. It's iconic. It's legendary. It's awesome. It's bloody fantastic. And it makes my heart skip a beat and yearn for it. 

The V8s are lovely too and driving would be totally awesome. A real brutish and visceral experience wrapped in a timeless shape.

Both awesome, but for me, the red and white 80s turbo wins, but, I would be chuffed to bits and very proud with either.

God doesn't want me, and the Devil isn't finished with me yet.

Your kind words are pretty much identical as spoken by a certain Mr MJ Kimberley when we were standing next to it at Brooklands :)

Some pictures I took a while ago of a nice yellow GT3. Part of a photo project that I couldn't bring to completion due to the difficulty of shooting on film.

Interesting looking engine cover.

The sunroof makes the car look very light and airy inside.

Snap for the crook lock :)

The 'Lotus' was done by the previous owner. I kind of like it, it stops people saying 'nice Ferrari'....

That engine cover is BANG ON. Also, what a fantastic looking car the S3 is from above...

Mark now wants a V8...

Hurry up, they're getting pricey :smoke:

I have had an SE and now a V8 both for years of ownership.  After driving and working on the the SE, the V8 is very nice.

So you own that Murcielago, nice!

Yes, it's a fun car.  I do my own work on both of them, so it's interesting to explore how Lotus and Lambo took such a similar, yet very different approach to solving the same problem -- creating super fast cars that are awesome.
