Stig Rahbek's 1985
Stig Rahbek from Hornbaek, Denmark, owns a 1985 Turbo Esprit in Calypso Red with a Magnolia Interior.
Model:
Turbo Year: 1985 Colour: Calypso Red Interior: Magnolia Driving Style: Fast Miles per year: 2,000 – 4,000 Owned Since: 2010 Purchase from: Private Serviced at: PNM Engineering Other Cars: Lotus Eclat, Matra Murena Previous Lotus': Lotus Elite (project) Why an Esprit: Like many others I saw "The Spy who loved me" in 1978 and same year I spottet two white Esprits in Switzerland (lot of drewling). I wanted an Esprit ever since Upgrades: Completly original. I might upgrade the stereo to amodern unit or install a Clariion E980 like on the last G-Esprits - if one comes up on eBay Problems: Frozen clutch after standing for 3 weeks. Info: 'I do fancy the S1 design, but lack of reliability made me chose an 1985 model. It had to be a G-Esprit though.
After winning an auction on eBay (I know, this is what many warn about) I picked up the car in may 2010 near Lake District. I was not allowed to drive the car to Harwich Harbour, so the seller (Steven Martin) drove it on a trailer for 280 miles - thank you Steve. We were on a very tight schedule, but arrived only 1 minute late after 4 h driving. I was the last car aboard the ferry. I'm sure this shortened my lifetime by a week.'
