Picked up the new car today-amazingI

[beano700]

Just got myself a Sport300 Esprit today, what an amazing car, so much better than any lotus I have ever owned.

Mmm nice. but wrong forum sub-section?

Very Nice, Love the Esprit Sport 300

Love the wraparound spoiler,

The front splitter may make it a bit more difficult to get over speedbumps, but it looks great

Speed bumps are a nightmare, but the ride is extremely comfortable.

That was one thing that suprised us....

After owning Excels, We expected to find the Esprit utterly back breaking, but after a few trips to Dorset and back from Torquay, it was extremely pleasant.

Comfort is not one thing you expect or look for in a Esprit....its there but its no Citroen C6

Very nice ! And lucky you found one at all, many owners are holding on to theirs so well done

You will have to post up some pics when you get a chance, love to see some interior shots too I manage ok with the S350 regarding ground clearance the at the front as being most extreme, but you will just have to accept certain drive way entrances and massive speed humps are no go, you will get to know.

The car is no 36, I will post pics shortly.

[Bibs_LEF]

I'll get my sunglasses! Are you happy with the colour or are you having it painted?

[Kylie]

Oooh thats the Scandal Green one !! Nice to see its finally found a new home

[GKP]

Ahhh, 'that' one. Although it's a bit bright for some, mechanically it should be well sorted. Congrats.

[beano700]

I did have reservations about the colour, but once I had seen it in the sunlight I was hooked, I love it.
The rear light arrangement might have to change at some point.

[JamesG]

Wouldn't mind seeing some bigger pictures

[Stu_00]

Looks brillant !

I would also like to see more pictures

[beano700]

If the sun comes out this weekend I will take some fresh pic's.
