2014 First and last...

[Bibs]

There will be a special treat in the Brooklands Hall inside Mercedes Benz World on Sunday.

 

For the first and possibly last time ever the first and last Esprits will be on display side by side. Bring a camera.

 

:D

[Loose Cannon]

Very cool. Are any Lotus people, past or present, going to be there?

[Bazza 907]

You're getting the one just listed on US Ebay flown in?

The secrets out, its the last of the line with all the signatures in the boot which went to the states, then the Netherlands I think, then the UK for a check over before going back accross the pond to join a collection. Some of my details may be slightly out but I have it on very good authority that they will both be together for the send off.

[GordonMasson]

I think it must be a very rare situation when the first and last of any model of car are together.....perhaps this is even a first?

 

There has been a huge amount of hard work behind the scenes to pull this together. Massive thanks to Bibs for making it happen.

[Advantage]

Lovely.

There will be a special treat in the Brooklands Hall inside Merceded Benz World on Saturday.

[dodge1979]

Sweet...how about an artistic photo opportunity of the two under concord?..or are they closely guarded and not moving..

[Bibs]

They're there all day Saturday for a photoshoot.

[Andy Esprit SE]

[GordonMasson]

[mayevora]

[Bibs]

Being driven into place inside MBW. 

 

 

 

[Simon350S]

Very cool indeed. Even more gutted now that I won't be there!

[johnpwalsh]

And so say all of us. Have a great weekend guys, one to remember.

[obione]

It was really good to see both these cars together, a great achievement and well done for organising

[Bibs]

 

[Loose Cannon]

Both look fantastic in their own way, but I'd like to see Q deliver the yellow car to James Bond off the Sardinian ferry ramp!

"Now, pay attention 007. There's no hope in hell of getting that targa panel into the boot."

I do have a good photo of Gordon with the first one looking like a proud new Dad unfortunately you will have to wait weeks as I'm sitting in LHR T4 waiting to escape to the sunnier side of the world - I hope! Unfortunately I downloaded the camera onto the computer and wiped it so starting holiday empty memory.

[esprit22]

Was indeed a great day, and four of my most memorable sights were:

1/ Bazza looking like a scary traffic warden

2/ Bibs haircut

3/ Remains of Brooklands track 

4/ Martin looking like a drowned rat

[GordonMasson]

These are some pics taken during the photo shoot on Saturday morning on the banking of the Old Brooklands Circuit.
