Proud new owner of 1990 Red SE

[EspritMiltonKeynes]

Today I became the 5th owner of H244 XUG, a 55 000 mile Red SE that appeared in a featured article of EVO Magazine back in 1996. I have been leaping around the room like a mad thing and cannot drag myself away from staring at the site from my office window!

It needs a new horn, will prob get it resprayed (paintwork a bit dodgy), and hopefully not much else wrong with it. The inspector seemed to think it was a bargain at

look forward to seeing pics I remember how nice it was to get my car... on an ebay auction   not the best way to buy an Esprit of all things, I managed to get lucky though if you can call it that.

It's a great feeling

Hey well done!

Must get Bibs to search our memberlist, as i think you must be our youngest

Esprit owner, and some sort of prize or special acolade must be in order!

PS, remember to vote in the 'What are you owning poll', get the SE back to the top!

Hey... I'm still the youngest, have been for nearly a week (And S3 turbos will always rule the poll B) )

Seriously, it's good to have someone else around my age who loves these things (I turned twenty last month, I've owned the Esprit since I was 17)

Congrats on getting your car James You gonna do your own work on the Esprit? I have no problem with the young guys driving such a great car

[s4simon]

Well done James.

Looks as though you'll be stuck just working on it over the next 4ish weeks - which is not a bad thing at all. I spent yesterday just cleaning the headlamps - which was enjoyable

You are going to keep it as RED aren't you ??

[Jussi]

Congratulations James for your car!

Post some pics to garage-section, when you have left time from just driving with car

[EspritMiltonKeynes]

Hi again,

Thanks for you well-wishes. Yes I will doing a bit of work on over the coming month, and I will be keeping it Calypso red whatever happens (so don't worry).

Got my garage sorted out now so feel free to have a peek!

Wow! An esprit at 17! That's quite something...

Have voted in the poll as well... July can't come quickly enough! B)

Hahaha.... I so hope you're right

[Jussi]

Looks good B)

Now be careful with the car...and with the girls

[rens914]

Ok thats the car

now buy a

1. stinger

2. replace your exhaust

3. buy an other air intake fiter

4. a # 6 red race chip

5. bigger injectors

6. other shocks

7. other wheels (minimum 17 inch

8. other brakes

Then drive it again

You'll know why you don't need a 8 cilinder having more power than a S4S

but with a better drivability

be sensible : drive the car the least once a week

fave fun

B) Calypso red all the way! I'm not knocking other colors and i've even owned two other red cars, but DAMN this car looks great in the sun.

PS: I know that I'm going to get it from the monaco white crowd

That's true Wayne I got that comment just yesterday.

Question was: What Ferrari model is that ... I just answered: it's Lotus

[USAndretti42]

I've had a couple of visitors ask if mine was a DeLorean. Oh the shame of it!

[EspritMiltonKeynes]

Yeah... I thought long and hard about which colour to go for an SE in...

[iN MY OPINION ONLY.... ]

I like black a lot... put it with a Guigaro model and you almost have Kit the Car! Def a nice colour for esprits but also becoming a very common sportscar colour these days...

Green and Blue are nice, but I think better suited to the V8s. (not sure why... )

Norfolk Mustard Yellow seems to be a must for the S4

Silver is nice, but reminds me too much of mercedes & is a pretty common supercar colour these days.

And white is great too but I've had white sportscars before and I find they only look good in bright sunshine.

And red is a but cliched, and does have the 'ferrari' image - but I think the SE can really carry it off. I also think it works well on all the early stevens models.

Orange and Grey.... not for me but maybe for someone!

Heh, I get "KITT" as much as I do Ferrari, but I get Lamborghini most of all Black and Red are always good ways to go I agree black is a bit common nowadays, but I love it on my turbo. White looks great on G turbos, even though I'm not a fan of white in general

Yellow and Orange are especially great on S1-S2 models as well as Stevens cars, I think someone here got a yellow G turbo that looks great. Anything eye catching

Personally, I'm not a big fan of Silver (too common, plain), dark red, Lotus racing green, blue, etc. I like bright colors

That said I barely care about color... I would have bought mine if it were pink
