    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.

    My fave. Esprit Turbo. The ultimate James Bond car for me.

    One of the best looking car ever made next to countach and testerossa!!!
    Too expensive to maintain, so I’ll stick with my Miata nc hardtop.

    Love how he mentioned about actually driving it. Never understood having such a beautiful car and just letting it sit in the garage.

    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 Esprit is aesthetically beautiful even after all of these years. Beauty has no concept of time it just is!

    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.

    • @CultofVelocity

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

    Glad to have found your channel! I have an 83 Investor Edition (#32 of 50). I broke the cam belt just after it was delivered (2 times around the block :( Now engine is completely rebuilt $10K later. Ready to go back in. I need paint and interior leather re done to be presentable. I can't wait to drive it as it was meant to be driven! Thanks for the great Vid!!!

    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☘️

    • @DrieStone
      @DrieStone 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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!

    I saw one in The Bahamas for $3,000. I couldn’t believe it was that cheap. The owner passed away and the family just wanted to get rid of it.

    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!

    Something about a red Lotus Esprit makes me think of a Ferrari when I looked at it. It's only in red that it looks like a Ferrari.
