Lotus Esprit Sitting still in a chair with an injured leg - surfing the internet - is dangerous. The summer of 2005 should have been the time when I finished my new garage where I could work in peace on my Marcos restoration. But playing soccer with colleagues changed all that. And with not much else to do than surf on the net and particularly on EBay the inevitable had to happen. An S2 "for parts or restoration" ended up in a corner of my new garage. Ever since I saw James Bond drive that neat little white wedge missile on the roads of Monaco, engine barking and with a razor sharp turn in, I've known in the back of my mind that one of these I have to have one day. Driving one that a friend had owned some years ago didn't make the Lotus experience any less tempting. The deal on the net sent me on a ferry to England with my wife, my daily driver and a small trailer. Well, what I bought was not really a car as such. It was a body, a backbone frame and an engine. But since it came with an identity, I can spend the next 10 years building everything up and get it registered on Norwegian licence plates.
For now I have to keep updated by the means of internet, and one of the absolute best pages for people interested in Lotus Esprit is this one:
