It's a beauty, and it looks like that Esprit has found itself a great steward who will allow it to fulfill it's destiny.

What an amazing car. I just love the Lotus Esprit, especially the Giaguaro models. My all time top 5 favourite car. It hops around from nr. 1 to nr. 5 and so forth, but it has never left my top 5 :-) Everytime I see it, it puts a smile on my face. Especially on videos with nice camera angles and with a passionate owner who talks about it. Beautiful!

The content, the mix of pictures, music, voice , noise is just an excellent job. Congrats. Since one of my sons graduated in creating videocontent, I know a little what it takes to make a good video and this is it. And of course the car. I am biased. I own a 1980 Lotus esprit S2.2 and yes Giugiaro created a timeless design. Yes you can see it is old, yes the typical wedge has had its era in cardesign, but it never stops to amaze people and it is one of the best wedge shaped origami designs ever. Oh , Mine will hit 90.000 miles soon, so this red one is not the highest mileage one of the G cars.

The wedge has to be one of the most gorgeous designs out there though! Haha thank you, cheers!

Nice but you need to change the title as that's not an Esprit turbo. They came later post 1987. That's a Turbo Esprit....even says so on thes side!

Keep an eye on the waste gate! Blew the engine on my S3 second time I drove it!! Engine is being rebuilt and should be ready soon 😁 Looking forward to driving it again. Great video, well made! All the best from Ireland☘️
@DrieStone2 жыл бұрын
Yes! When I was finishing the engine build on mine I tore apart the wastegate and found the diaphragm was ripped. Those original wastegates are impossible to find. Someone makes a replacement now, but at the time I ended up going to a whole new exhaust with a modern wastegate on it. I'm hoping mine will be back on the road this spring, and watching this video just makes me want it even more!
