Resto mod stance looks odd. Wheels are too big,…sits too high. Like the mechanical mods and some cosmetic.
Wheels just look wrong.
How much did it sell for?
Left one looks better with the black mirrors. More stock look
Holding out of focus for that long is not artistically compelling. It is frustrating at best.
I think finding a 16" wheel with a tire to keep the same or only slightly larger tire diameter, would look mu h better than thos 17s. Ive seen 4x4 trucks with less ground clearance.
I used those brake dust covers just long enough to realize that my brakes would very quickly overheat and stop working. Also, I might've like the 17" wheels if I wasn't directly comparing them to the stock size. That said - it is smashing, mazel tov!
Outstanding work, love the looks and attention to detail. I think the wheels look spectacular.
"Hey guys welcome back to another video." A lot of car videos start with this phrase and with 972 subscribers chances are the viewer has never been here before so don't need welcoming back. It's a bit cringe. Iconic cars from Giorgetto Giugiaro 😎
Got to get rid of those God aweful and illegal black plates on the restomod car. Just dont look right on a new car.
The original car looks great
Great job I just don’t like the big wheels
Er,um,ahh,err,erm,um
I would have gone with black and gold wheels (kind of a John Player theme). 17s are fine but I would have gone uber-low profile - 35 series are available. Then, if you've got coil-overs on that thing, you may still need to ratchet it down about an inch. It's too tall as it sits.
Does the seats on these has recline ?
Wow, two stunning Lotus’s. I owned a 2005 Elise, and a 2011 Evora 2+0. These just look so much cooler!
Remember as a boy looking in an Elite parked on a city street. The interior looked like science fiction.
Thhe wheels to big and front lip need body color.
Love it. Really good restomod and I get the feeling Mark and his contractors knew exactly what they were doing.
The focus and zoom shots are awful and make the video unwatchable😔
Good job mark looks lovely 💯🧠🤝
Great job on the restorations and upgrades! Beautifully done. I still like the original better. However I would take the restomod in a heartbeat! Cheers 🥂
I dont like how the "improved" looks.....
The rims seem too large for the car, especially the thinner front rims. They're beautiful rims but they're out of proportion to the rest of the car, they just don't fit.
WHEN YOU ADD A LARGER WHEEL TO THE ORIGINAL DESIGN IF AUTOMATIC THE TRANSMISSION WILL WEAR MORE OF THE INTERNAL CLUTCH PLATES, IN A MANUAL THE RELEASE OF THE CLUTCH WILL TEND TO SLIP A BIT MORE BECAUSE THE DIAMETER OF WHEEL IS LARGER BUT IN THIS SETUP I WONT REALLY MATTER MUCH , THE AXLE SEALS ARE A CONSTANT LEAK ON THE RENAULT OR FRENCH MANUAL TRANSMISSION THE HIGH VOLTAGE COIL WHEN HOT ARE INTERMITTENT ON ORIGINAL LOTUS COILS COMMON PROBLEM, THE V8 ESPRIT HAS A DRIVER TRANSISTOR WEAK SOLDERING INTERMITTENT HIGH VOLTAGE SPARK PROBLEM ALSO, RE-FLUX RE-SOLDER DRIVER TRANSISTOR PINS AT PCB BOARD ECU
I very much enjoyed your Esprit videos in part because I owned a 907 S2 in metallic gold. I have always wondered if my car is still in circulation and if you guys have access to records or currents cars and owners or if any watchers know anything. My car must have been one last 2 litre cars and sitting for a while in a new dealer showroom because it was on a 1980/81 W reg plate. I bought it from the Norwich Lotus dealer in 1982 with low miles and sold it on to a London car dealer a year later in mid 1983. I put a private reg plate on it and because I kept the plate it would have remained on a W plate because of it's date of first registration. Unfortunately, I do not have the chassis number but what might set it apart is I had the cylinder head was rebuilt following a cam belt failure and Dave Smith Engineering of Gants Hill area NE London did a big valve cylinder head rework with a claimed 190 bhp. It was faster but only above 5000 rpm. If anybody has the car today I have lots of stories to share. Thanks and great videos guys.
the original just looks and sits way nicer.
Great job, very impressive!
This video is a few years old so you may not see this... but just curious as I'm thinking about the same door cards from Aldridge. Was the fact that they came back flat because they made them that way? If so, that's rather concerning because as you say they aren't going to fit like that.... Thanks!
Lovely car, just needs one coil cutting off each road spring. Very nice work
Does the S2 have the dual fuel tanks or was that just for the S1? Also do you think they is room in the engine bay to put in either a 6 cylinder engine or an Emira 4 cylinder turbo engine?
You’ve killed the stance of the car with those wheels, just shows what happens when you mess around with things you don’t understand. ,
if this has the lotus CR gearbox , its a matter of when not if it the gears fail... if you do clutch it might be a good idea to replace teh problems gears..
Like some of the mods on Marks car and getting 225bhp from a 2.2 litre engine from the 70's is very impressive but not a fan of those wheels.
Love it. Sold my Evora S in 2000 but about to get another. My friend has sent me pics of the gold Esprit FEA100V from your channel too he lives in Hereford
This local garage in the countryside of England, with an amazing collection of cars and can service a lotus has the perfect setting, character and atmosphere. Visiting here from Canada this week and I've fallen in love with the country. A Lotus car and these roads were made for each other!!!! Very smooth music for the video also 👌
I wouldn't have traded the elan+2 for an Esprit, I would have fixed the roof as the elan is a better useable car. I've tried both.
Is the car still for sale
57 Like Esprit is the best looking car ever build. I own one back when it first come out ... Life long love... You making a right choice... The real Collin Chapman car design from early day.
I have Esprit S2 new back then they are the best looking car for their time! love it a life time car that every young man should own a Lotus.
When Mark was talking, could anyone else smell the BS??😂🤣😂🤣
Interesting! I'm thinking of soon getting an esprit and each week l change my mind between a s3 or a 1989 se. Getting 220hp from a modified G car is a good upgrade...any thoughts from owners?
LAP TIMES!
Great video and review of the Evora. Certainly looking forward to more videos. I'm also planning on buying an Evora in the future
Very nice indeed and still looks great! Would never think it was from 2010!
What a beautiful car and the Evora is truly a great piece of engineering. Whilst there are people who think the Evora is a much overlooked car I strongly believe this is going to be a serious collector’s car in the future… watch it. With Lotus aiming to make more Emiras in the first 2 years than all the Evoras out there it will be a rare car. And of course what car is the Emira largely based on?? Well spotted Callum
Love it! I remember first seeing it at the (I think) 2010 Motor Show. It is a usable Lotus and I look forward to seeing more of it on your channel.
Congrats! I do think an Evora makes much more sense as a daily driver. However, I think it’ll be more challenging in terms of compelling content, imo. Your practicality and reliability factor has gone way up, but the sheer romance of an Esprit is difficult to match.
Looking forward to seeing more!
EVORA?😅
