He should.  I have found a couple of other Esprit/Murci owners already.

Thought I would share the love by posting this video of my drive this morning. - Initially couldn't get it started, think it was a fuel pump issue, anyway I managed to fix it and took it for a lovely drive in the sun!

Fair play for not editing out the starting issue!

Haha! Makes the whole experience a bit more genuine. Once I got her started she was fine though!

To try and cheer up a wet Wednesday, here are a few belated pix of my S1 at the Brooklands TLF International Lotus day, courtesy of photographer Malcolm Feth - one great day!

Great looking car.

I fitted the Goodyear letters last week that Jonny aka the pits got from across the pond for a few of us. Well pleased with the results and a perfect excuse to post up the obligatory picture. Don't G cars look lovely!

Stoppit Barry, you're not allowed a G and an S if I'm not 

Normandy today

As you know Alan I attempted to buy a Lotus Racing Green V8 similar to yours last year.......but it wasn't the right car - when I saw this photo of yours it took me right back to when I first saw that car and that colour.........it's a very very nice colour!! The mono-blocs really suit the darker colours. Lovely pic - thanks for sharing!! 

[Barrykearley]

Nope @stephenwhyte wrong colour, wrong wheels, wrong spoiler

Some more pics from our France trip.

What's that lurking in the hotel car park?

French jetwashes are amazing, they even have a demineralised water program to finish off with so you don't have to go over the car with a cloth

Lotus country. Empty roads, good surfaces, lotsa straights and twisties, blue skies and warmth

Contrasty hotel wall

[swindon_alan]

The only bummer of the trip was the hotel in La Rochelle. There aren't many hotels with secure private parking - I'm never, ever leaving my car out on a public street overnight - the one we stayed at had spaces under bloody trees, AAAARGH!!! Three nights of dripping sap, leaves, petals, bird poo (I even saw a cat p*ssing on my front valance  ) later and the car was a right mess.

Yep, French jetwashes are ace!
