The Esprit is a 2002 Twin Turbo V8 with ~14922 miles on it. It is a 25th Anniversary Edition model. The car is paint code B92 silver metallic over black leather interior. The stitching for the leather is a silvery/white.

This Esprit is in excellent cosmetic condition both in an out. Some photos may have a pink or purplish tinge to them at the edges, it's the camera. All photos except the south of the border are recent. There is no damage or cracking to the lower front spoiler at all because great care is used when out driving. The car is 100% original as it comes from the factory with no modifications.

The exterior paint does not have any cracking or scratches. I personally detailed the vehicle using my supply of products and porter cable earlier in the summer. All rubber trim and gaskets are in excellent condition with no tears.

The interior of the Esprit does not have any tears and is still as supple and clean as day 1 from the factory. All carpets are in an excellent non-faded condition. The interior is 100% original. I cautiously enter and exit the vehicle each time I drive it so I do not wear out the bolster and educate passengers to try and do the same. I use Leatherique rejuvinator and prestine clean products on the entire interior to ensure the leather was well fed and continued to be supple.

The transmission shifts smooth and shifter feel is quite lovely. The engine sounds fantastic. This is a pristine cosmetic condition car but has not sat in a garage which is probably worse for these cars. They need to be used to stay fresh. The car has not swapped hands through multiple owners or dealerships every couple of months. It is automobile enthusiast owned since 2008.

Both the glass and silver tops are included with the sale. I also have the air deflector which can be installed at the roof mounting positions for open top driving. (See photo)

The car is not driven in the rain or foul weather. It is only used on sunshine days. Stored in a heated garage during the winter months with a battery tender.

The service history during my ownership is as follows:

Purchased the car in October of 2008

Because I live in central NY, it was then time to put the car away in our heated garage for winter storage.

Spring of 2009

Synthetic oil and filter change using an Esprit filter from JAE

2010

Timing belt replacement completed under Lotus Warranty
New auxiliary belt
New knock sensor
ECM was found to not have the latest reflash stickers so it was sent out to Lotus Cars USA for proper reprogramming and then reinstalled
Synthetic oil and filter change

2011

Synthetic oil and filter change

2012

Drove the car 250 miles to Lotus dealership for service ($2300)
"A" service for Esprit V8
Synthetic oil and filter change
Brake fluid flush and refill
Coolant flush and refill
Transmission fluid flush and refill
Clutch was said to still be in very good condition
Diagnosis found the HVAC valve stepper motor under the passenger side dash to be faulty and not properly directing air flow for use in heating the interior. It was confirmed coolant does get to the heater matrix correctly it just is not being directed. I was told it takes 3-4 weeks for the part to come in but I wanted to enjoy the car for the summer and it is a fair weather vehicle anyway.
Lower control arm bushings were replaced
Fuel filler neck seal replaced (I found the fuel neck grommet to be torn so I wanted it replaced)
Car was noted as being very finely detailed

2013

I may complete an oil and filter change before winter storage.

I hope the photos capture the vehicle condition and can take additional photos per requests.

Mileage on the Esprit will increase as the car is still driven to work every now and then. When the snow falls the car is in the garage until the spring and roads are clean.

Recap: 2013 Spanish Grand Prix is Catalan for 'Lottery' and 'More pit stops'

Tue, 14 May 2013

This year's Formula One season might qualify as being just as crazy as last year's, only it's a different kind of crazy. Instead of a new winner every Sunday, how the winner actually manages to take the victory is the mystery, and just when we thought the season might have settled into a groove regarding team performance, here comes the Spanish Grand Prix to remind us that we don't know anything until the race has been run.
There were many similarities to past weekends to being this one: Mercedes-AMG Petronas showed awesome one-lap pace, Fernando Alonso did well enough in qualifying to get fifth on the grid but talked up the race pace of the Ferrari, Kimi Räikkönen was the equivalent of a racing photobomber, never saying much but always showing up in the picture, Felipe Massa wasn't really big on the tires and McLaren might want to consider starting a blues band they spend so much time singing them.
Then the lights went green and things went nuts...

Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition

Wed, 26 Dec 2012

Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.

Top Gear caught filming Best of British near Buckingham Palace

Mon, 24 Jun 2013

YouTuber and car-fan extraordinaire Shmee probably had very little trouble tracking down the Top Gear film crew recently, as the group was putting together an episode that could accurately be described as "excessive." With its flag-waving (literally) Best of British theme, the TG guys gathered a jaw-dropping array of British cars, and parked them all right in front of Buckingham Palace to make extra sure that the point was driven home.
Top Gear hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May were outfitted with a trio of Jaguar F-Types festooned with gigantic Union Jacks, with which to survey the landscape of British motoring glory. In the video below, you'll see that this includes any number of Mini, Aston Martin, Lotus, McLaren, Land Rover, Bentley and Rolls-Royce models (just to name a few), as well as a healthy dose of weird stuff that most people would never guess at being built in the UK. The lawnmowers and military vehicles are especially cool.
