Had to reply since lotusTT has a picture of my car in his first message!
(I'm virtually positive the photo is of the 2002 Azure Esprit that Silicon Valley Autogroup had for sale until recently!) http://www.wulfpack.com/Lotus-02.jpg Love the car. The accelleration is mind blowing, and around here (Orange County, CA) it really turns heads - more so even than Ferrari's, Porsche's and the like. (Which are far more common in these parts than Lotuses.) JM |

Re: Come on people where are our lotus esprit freaks?
Hello, I am a Lotus owner too...
I have to say a freak. Lotus Freak I mean. Presently I own a 1983 Esprit, have been working on it at night for two years, and got it running. (It had been parked and abandoned for 7 years). As we all have our preferences, please allow me to say I prefer the interior of the Giugiaro original, Stevens softened it too much, the body as well seems too round to be dramatic-looking. As the Giugiaro. I had a chance to get a 1994 red-beige Esprit, great shape, low miles, but I just couldn't get to like the interior! so I went back to my Giugiaro. Maybe there is a way to exchange bodies with a newer Esprit,for the reliability and better performance only. Does anybody know if that type of combination has been done? Giugiaro body-newer Esprit engine-chassis...? Thanks in advance for any comments on this! And please share any of your Espirit stories...! Luis Beltran |

Re: Come on people where are our lotus esprit freaks?
My S2 had been parked up in a farm yard for 5 years because the rear calipers had been damaged during a pad change. New parts from England took a week and then only 2 hours to rebuild calipers.
The time standing around didn't help the bearings. I have replaced all the wheel bearings and the universal joints. Have since clocked up quite a few miles without trouble (the clutch release bearing is getting noisy though). Just love the shape. |

Hi
Actually the car is Blue with what was originally charcoal interior. Now faded to a pale blue. Black leather seats. Black carpets. Photos uploaded here Here is a photo showing a Seven replica I made in 1988 now owned by friend The photos were taken at the street race last month. A good day out. We brought our own stand (behind cars) |
