Guest l28et Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Browsing ebay, came across this. Remember a thread with some guy on here wanted to do this... anyway its pretty cool. Car has potential. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1978-Lotus-Esprit-V8-low-miles-and-only-two-owners_W0QQitemZ4583651305QQcategoryZ6312QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonsZ Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 what up with the rusty headers? If they skimped there, what else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tfreer85 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I didn't really pay attention to the headers but what had me worried was the rotting plywood holding the battery in place????? Definately brings doubt into my mind for being that cheap, when in comparison to what they others are going for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 I have thought about an Esprit LT1 swp for a long time. I dismissed it after not being able to find a decent Esprit that only needed a motor; it's such that the people who own them have the money to install a new engine if need be, regardless of cost, or they are clapped out and cannot be used for anything let alone a V8 conversion. I still like to dream, though, and I think they are seriously cool cars. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Well, and I don't think the epsirit was actaully sold here in the usa was it? Someone please correct me. I always assumed this becuase such low numbers are ever for sale used online. That's why the new elise is such a big deal, it's in the US... I've seen 10+ around town in the last year since thier debut. EDIT: Oh yea, I love the espirit. Gotta be one of the best cars to come out of england.
