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!
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!!!
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.
I just discovered your channel while searching esprit stuff cause I've got one of these too and what a top quality video. You guys look like your new to RU-vid so I'm subscribed. Keep up the great work.
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☘️
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!
