Guys, there’s a lot of money invested in this car. A ridiculous amount… Is it worth it, cost wise? To you all, maybe not. But there are few Esprit’s out there to begin with, let alone modified to this level. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, not even mine particularly, but as a Lotus enthusiast true at heart, it’s something special. When a company makes ~300 cars a year on average (in the Esprit), certain ones tend to stick out. I know a lot of history on this car, from LOG gatherings about the country. It’s a really cool car. Silly me to post it on a car forum though, forgot how some people reacted to that kind of stuff. If only I added some NSFW pictures…or a poll… ---

I gotta say i don’t really like it that much. It’s cool in some aspects, but that interior is god awful. Sooo tacky. The rest of it is meh. Maybe if it wasn’t yellow… ---

I like it, I like that yellow/orange color on the exterior. ---

Definitely a cool car thats had a lot of work put into it. The body styling isn’t even that bad for something that was developed in the 90s but the interior is absolutly horrid with all the yellow. IMHO there are a lot better cars out there for 80k. ---

Eewww… Joe, IMO your car looks 100 times better and you have a fraction of that invested. ---

with a stock interior and maybe a better color on the outside the car would def be sick as hell, that yellow interior does kill it, its more like minus 35k, but i LOVE the bodystyle t-up ---
