Request for Interior Pics (urgent)

[GTK]

 

Urgent is in brackets because I can survive without, but if you have an Esprit (S1/S2) with a red leather and black or grey marcasite interior, in any condition, is there any chance I could have a few photos for reference in an imminent episode of SOUP (my web series about restoring classic cars).

Phone photos will be fine. Or if you have some online that you don't mind me using, I can steal them directly.

Thanks!

George

Georges,

I googled SOUP and Lotus Esprit and ended up looking at some shows. I have to congratulate you. Really well made and I will have a better look at home.

About the interior, Mine ( S2.2) has a white and black all leather interior. So no red leather and marcasite. So I can't help you there.

You can find the S2.2 interior pictures here :

greets and keep up the good job.

Dank je wel Geert! I'm having a rough time with episode 6, it's a little late! Please share with your car buddies in the meantime

Your interior is impressive, and I love the shot looking in from the roof, great perspective. I'll have a good read of your thread asap!

George-

Sent you a pm with 2 photos. No sure if you were looking for original interiors only. I have a 1977 S1 with an aftermarket interior. I've attached the photos here as well.

You have a pm Jim! Thanks for the shots but they're not quite what I need. 

I just found the thread below with a car very similar to the spec mine left the factory with, but before I shoot innocenti a message, is the cloth in this car marcasite? It doesn't seem to have the same nap

Here's some of mine from the original advert. Some nice interior shots:

That is a lovely interior. I do like the S2 cloth interior

 

[GTK]

It is isn't it! In general I much prefer cloth in cars, it can be so much more comfortable than leather. I specifically need red seats/carpet/door inserts with black or grey marcasite though. Thanks gents, and sorry   

I'll fire some emails at the guys I see on here with the same interior combo and see if they're still active, Innocenti and these from sprint123:

Got Episode 6 up last night. Gents thanks so much for being so helpful, I had more than enough photos in the end and they're a real asset to the episode. 

This is the link, hope you enjoy it.

George, just wanted to let you know I absolutely love your SOUP episodes. Very well made and full of passion. 

Keep up the great work mate.

Thanks Sean, that's put a spring in my step this morning

When does the Esprit land? 

[kwandokun]

Landed on Sunday

Lots of work to do but looking forward to it!

Very smart looking mate! Love that colour. Amazing how small it looks on the back of the truck.
