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

My fave. Esprit Turbo. The ultimate James Bond car for me.
You are one lucky man too have this. This will worth a lot in the future.
The Esprit is aesthetically beautiful even after all of these years. Beauty has no concept of time it just is!
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.
Great pick! All 4 of them!
I like that!The one flaw is between the seat and the steering wheel"! Enjoy the Esprit it sounds like you deserve it.👍👍👍😅
Super well done guys! Good to see another cool car through your lens.
This is a brilliantly produced film 🎥 🚗
Fabulous car and a very cool guy.

The wedge has to be one of the most gorgeous designs out there though! Haha thank you, cheers!
Beautifully styled car. Thanks for taking the time to make and share this video.
Absolutely. Thank you for taking the time to watch!
thanks for this incredible video
great car, and very good condition.
My wife and I have a 2006 Elise. Bought it new. 100,000 + miles
Beautiful car
An owner who deserves the car and a car deserving of this owner...

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.
I love these so much!
I have a 94s4 I love 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!
Well done, guys!
Great video!! Fantastic car…though I am a bit partial 😂
Test Drive 6 brings me here
Goddamn the s3 turbo esprit is the best esprit.
Petrolicious 2.0! Well done.
There’s an Investors edition listed on Bring a Trailer rn

What if a lotus esprit 1983 would look like as a Time Machine?
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.
DeLorean's beautiful cousin.
I wanted one of these so bad all my life and never got it and I never will.
Never say never!
