I always wanted a real esprit, kept saying one day , one day, and then the price went from 3k to 30k on one! I do have an Excel which is close enough for me lol.
It would handle better if it didn’t have a large blob of grease on the tyre where they over greased it at the factory, I recently got a new corvette C8R and it behaved exactly like your lotus, first few runs were good then it started drifting badly, I opened up the car and inside it was literally swimming in thin grease/oil it was getting on the tyres, way too much lubricant! Also that lubricant is all over the track! Nice car though but way over oiled.
I didn't notice that when filming, guess I could have knocked them a point for that, also didn't notice some blobby glue around the bumper which I didn't see until watching the video back.
Love the Lotus Esprit, I had one back in the day! I bought the white one from Live and Let Die and love it.

@@slot-car-dad I only had it for a few weeks sadly no photographs though which I really regret
@@leesslotcars my all time favourite car, closest i will get now is the scalextric version lol
@@slot-car-dad yeah same here!!
Got mine earlier this week (had it on order for 12 months). I’m really happy with mine, great detail and runner 👍🏻
its a stunning car
The biggest visual flaw I see is the diameter of the tyres,,,,, they are massive. They need to be sanded down to a more realistic diameter.
Great review. 👍 thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Sorry about the baked bean can audio on mobile, it sounded fine on my laptop when editing! Not sure what's gone wrong with the sound
