Rare as hens teeth

These compomotives don't come up very often.  Like every 10 years or so.  And they're a set of 4.

The fronts dont look the same as the ones used on the Turbo.

Hi Andy

These we're changed by Compomotive to improve leakage on the front steering wheels, you could have them exchanged so even a few Essex have them. I got this info from Compomotive when I discussed remanufacture.

Nice to see my old Essex pop up.

[LOTUSMAN33]

Almost as smart as your cracking S1 David! ???

[cbclotus]

HI all .DaveThanks for posting up the pictures they all look fantastic Mike.

[v39]

My S1 parked outside house 28 years after the Essex

 

[LOTUSMAN33]

Brilliant picture, you need to add the S4s mate ?

[v39]

[Mark Blanchard]

So the S1 gets a good nights sleep and the S4s doesn't?

[v39]

S4s garaged elsewhere!

Good to hear they're both tucked up.  Fine looking cars you have

 

[v39]

Thanks

Funny when you have in the past older Esprits your yearn for an S4s than when you have one you yearn for your Giugiaro turbo Esprit.

Hmmm and I've been lucky to get both....but looking to sell one - are us car dafties ever happy?

[LOTUSMAN33]

I always fancied a S4s in white but only ever seen one? 

Mind nothing wrong with Red or Yellow ?

...and with the correct wheels of course...

[v39]

I wouldn't  want to sell the S4s, I want a wet sump turbo aswell.

[LOTUSMAN33]

Absolutely Alan, library photo although I do like the V8 wheels.

Erm, not a great fan of the Saturns. Either (preferably) AWIs or Novas. I so adore the S4s Futuras though - but don't tell @ian29gte or I will never hear the last of it...

[stephenwhyte]

The Futuras are a bit special.......

I think you should get out of Scottie Land Stephen, it is addling your brain. You have two of the best Esprits short of an S2, a JPS, an Essex, a Sport 300 (avoiding eight cylinders here as I know you have been there and not done that!)

Evoras? Pah! (With apologies to Bibs et al)

I dont know what any of that means
