Restomod Esprit

[Ascender]

Just in case anyone needs reminding how good the V8 that you’re about to pull apart looks. Particularly on these wheels (better than the Sport350 wheels for me).

I nearly bought one of those in 2000/01 - it was between that and a 4.5 Cerbera.. after seeing the many oil stains on the drive of the chap’s house, my father wisely suggested I get a more reliable car for my daily nd so I bought a CLK230 with a plan to get the Lotus/TVR in the future (obviously the future hasn’t happened yet, so I’m still waiting!)

I nearly did the same thing round about the same time. That car still looks really great, it's perfectly proportioned and I do wonder how they'd be to drive today.

Didn’t someone on the forum of old have one?

It was the chap married to the girl on here, for some reason I'm thinking stormtroopers.

I think it was a red one ?

Dave!

Cal and Foxy?

That was twenty years ago though!

[V8Granite]

That's the one!

Dave!

Had a 355 though not an esprit didn’t they?

Mike was the one with a red esprit, and still has as I saw it a couple of months ago.

[Beany]

Yup, that's right actually.

Look it was mid engined - give me a break
