The Esprit
Sunday October 27, 2002 3:42 a.m.
Won the bidding on 1991 Lotus Esprit SE Turbo
The very first thing I ever bought on ebay.
Holloween 2002
Here's the car in Miami. The good.
The bad.
And the ugly.
Note missing oil cooler
Intercooler tubes bent beyond repair
Still looks good if you stand back far enough
The wheel has got to go.
Is that the original radio?
At least this part looks good
On the flight back from Miami, they gave out broken cookies.
Coincidence? I think not.
