Nice. I have a ’77 that was “rescued” and needs everything. I really love
the S1 Esprit, but don’t think I’m going to be putting this car back to its
full glory and am working on selling it.
Hi there i have a lotus esprit s1, and i was wondering if i could find out
who did the respray for you…and the engine rebuild…and possibly more
and do you have a contact or email ….thank you…CAL,
Γεια σας φίλο, από μία πρώην κάτοικος της Αμμοχώστου Superb record of your
restoration job Constantine! I’m a friend of DC the previous owner and have
known the car for the 25 years, I helped remove the body so that original
chassis could be cleaned and galvanised & I’m one of the few people who has
driven it towed it and been a passenger in it! Great rad job & triple fan
cooling system & the body work and original upholstery job is pure magic!
Take care of that fussy original engine 😉 Chris
really enjoying your video log. Having owned an S3 and an M100 – I am in
love with the Lotus mark. I would live to do what you are doing.
who would dislike this? youve done an amazing job on bringing back a great
car. props
This car is now sold.
The body of the car looks like it’s from the early 80s, ahead of it’s time!
My Brother Dougie once owned this car.He would love to get in contact with
yourself,Take it you are aware Richard Hammond was driving your car on The
Top Gear James Bond special.Norman Hay Aberdeen Scotland.
MUTE BUTTON RULES!
the bond esprit S-1 was in the blue fabric. but I LIKE THE WAY YOU DID
YOURS IN THE PLEASANT GREEN COLOR FABRIC, very Tasteful.
Excelent work Coz very well done I cant wait to see the car in the flesh
Beautiful car!
Love the video, but I would rather listen to ambience sounds or even the
engine…had to mute this video, unsufferable music.
good car.
I am glad you saved this piece of history.
those are some good deeds you achieved here!!!
True, I meant the original one he head 🙂 cheers.
Roger Moore also had two Turbos in For Your Eyes Only. 😀
Terrific Job………well done
The best one and the Roger Moore one!! great work.
That car is SO COOL. it has pop-up head lamps, and it has that classic
looking 1970’s body style. But what I really love is that you wanted it to
be standard. no nitrous, or spinning rims. it’s simply cool.
Nice spaceship.
エスプリはこのデザインですね。 美しいです。
right on man you did it tin the same color as the Bond esprit in spy who
oved me totallly bitchen, I drove an S1 and it was a little worn but it was
totallly cool to drive, it felt like a brit version of a 356C Porsche. like
a sprint Kart that you were part of.it
That interior just screams COCAAAIINNEEE!!
fantastic. the same as Roger Moor in The spyd who loved me in 1977. maybe
it’s also a submarine… remember the famous line form 007 to Barbara Bach
: “can you swim…” just before to jump in the sea
My brother would love this just finished a video on his trip across the
Nallarbor in his Lotus
Trying my best to bring this car back to its original condition
LESS sildeshow MORE MOVIE!
Beautiful work! Nice to see another S1 coming back to life! I own an 85
Turbo version myself Best regards from the Netherlands
loved this video. How goes the restoration?
Where it has been restored? I am searching a car to buy and possibly to
restore. Thanks.
