MODEL: 1984 S3 Esprit

Vehicle History:Purchased on an extended trip to the UK in 1997. I got as much maintenance done to the car before shipping it to Sydney as a Personal Import. Got pulled over by the Highway Patrol on the F3 within an hour of picking it up at the docks! Unfortunately since buying the car I have spent more time working away from home so have not driven it as much as I need to to satisfy my love of the Esprit. In 2004 I moved to Perth and shipped the car to the west coast where I have yet to register it

Dave was a well known racing driver in Perth and also had an Elan +2. In the past 6 years the car has had less than 1,000 kms of use being garaged by Dave and myself.

MODEL: Esprit V8 1998

VIN: SCC082918VHAXXXXX

Vehicle History: Originally purchased & registered in the UK by an Airline Pilot who was extremely fastidious & made sure that the car was optioned with the best of everything. Arrived in Australia in late 2005 and I acquired it in 2006 (4th owner). The car is totally original and in extremely good condition with every receipt & service document duly logged & archived. I drive it regularly at least once a fortnight on weekends, weather permitting. I carry out all my own servicing, including belt changes & tensioning, etc (I have obtained all the Lotus factory tools to complete the majority of service requirements) as I do not trust anyone else to satisfactorily & honestly maintain the vehicle. Real knowledge of the V8 is extremely rare in Australia, including the factory dealers, and I’ve found it easier to obtain the tools & knowledge myself. It also makes maintenance much cheaper, but much more fun as I enjoy having a tinker and they are relatively easy to service. No real problems with the vehicle, but I never drive the car hard (maybe firmly from time to time) and respect its limitations. Fabulous supercar to own, with mind numbing performance, that still turns heads everywhere it goes.

MODEL: Lotus Esprit 1978 S1

VIN: 78020352G

Vehicle History: I purchased it in 1991 localy from Trevor Hine a local Lotus specialist (& racer)at 47858miles. It is a UK car so I pulled it apart to intigrate an air conditioner. Business got in the way a bit so it didnt get back on the road for another 10 years. While it was laid up I renewed the radiator, lots of the wiring, springs, shocke (Spax Adjustable), brakes, upholstry (Leather)& speedo (metric). Since then I've been driving it again in the last ten years I have replaced the Gear linkage bushes, fitted a Pertronix ignition & coil, put in a braided clutch line, modified the engine mounts, fitted an Odesy battery & mainenance charger and a Fuel Star in the fuel line and new tyres. All it needs now is a tidy up in the paint department.
