Miles per year:	4,000 - 8,000
Owned Since:	September 2002
Purchase from:	Atlantic Trading Norfolk Ltd
Serviced at:	I Haven't Yet!
Other Cars:	MGBGT V8, Rover 214Si
Previous Lotus':	None
Why an Esprit:	It was my dream car as a boy
Upgrades:	V8 Wing purchased from SJ and sprayed locally (twice). Seems to improve high speed handling but is very heavy and now requires a prop to hold the boot open.
Problems:	High oil pressure and very notchy gear change.Gear Linkages fell apart and had to be replaced. Parts obtained from SJ and fitted by local garage. Unfortunately they have removed the necessity for the reverse collar so I have to be careful when selecting second. Turbo is dying a slow and noisy death!
Info:	Excellent condition throughout. Attracts a lot of good attention from other drivers and pedestrians.

  

 

Taken at the Ipswich premier of 'Die Another Day' at which my car was requested to be on display in very good company with a DB5, Vanquish and one of the Jags used in filming!
