Owner: Ian Riddell

State: NSW

VIN: SCC082910KHA6XXXX

MODEL: Esprit 1989 SE

Vehicle History: Bought in 2000 with 50,000km on the clock (if you can trust Lotus clocks???). Now has 60,000kms. Lots Of Trouble, Usually Serious but I'm slowly winning the battle for reliability. Club Lotus and the Elan Factory have been invaluable & have probably saved me 10's of thousands in servicing costs. I now do most of the work on the car myself (most servicing centres leave it in a worst state than it was before). I'm currently working on the cosmetics, but really need to sort out the air conditioning system (Help!). Very few mods other than necessary ones (99% original). Anyway, it has been a real experience owning it.. and it's my pride and joy

Owner: Ben C

STATE: NSW

MODEL: 1989 Esprit Turbo

VIN:SCC082910KHD1XXXX

Vehicle History: Pearl Esprit with as-new red leather has had 6 owners including me and i selected it after two years of searching for a perfect car in the UK. Had it shipped out in its own container with Cargo Online and complied with Complete Car Care who replaced all fluids, spark plugs, and a couple of gas struts. This was all it needed...the car has 49,000 miles on the clock and has a full service history dating back to owner number one. The turbo and all bearings were rebuilt at some cost before i had it shipped out. It is simply immaculate in all areas and requires only regular servicing for at least the next few years, given all necessary major work has been done. It is terrifyingly fast given the engine and turbo and been used regularly, often serviced, but driven with kid gloves by all owners including myself


 

 

Owner: Mark Weir

STATE: NSW

MODEL: 1971 Esprit S1

VIN:

Vehicle History: I purchased this car in 1999 from an aussie guy who had imported it from California. It was complete but in several boxes and only the chassis had been restored. As the body was in poor condition I decided to proceed to customize it to resemble a wider Steven's esprit.The body was formed to shape and used as a plug then Moulds were made for doors, bumpers, front and rear guards and side skirts.
Over the next few years the car received the following mods; Nissan VG 30 6 cylinder motor. Full Nissan wiring loom, dashboard,a/c heating ventillation, brakes, steering column, mirrors all from a 300zx donor car.
17x11 inch billett alloy wheels. The car was finally engineered and registerd in 2002. The car is smooth, reliable and resonably quick at 1190kg.I do sometimes regret not keeping the car original but it is what it is now!

Owner: Grant Periott

STATE: NSW

MODEL: Turbo Esprit 88 X180

VIN: SCC082910JHA6XXXX

Vehicle History: The car is an Australian plated vehicle first sold to a buyer in Western Australia. From there it spent time in Victoria before being sold to a buyer in NSW who spent a lot of money on repairs and improvements ($10K). The car appears to have been used for track work during this period. The engine was rebuilt the gear box replaced and after market exhaust fitted. The car was then sold to buyer in Sydney who had a car collection and worked over seas for 6 months every year. Consequently the car did not see much use for a long period of time. I bought the car in October 2012 and drove it home from Sydney. I live in Northern NSW. The car developed electrical problems on the drive home and is currently with Automotion in Brisbane awaiting on an after market electronic ignition module from the US. Was an exhilarating drive and I cannot wait to get back behind the wheel.
