Incredible this channel is still under 100.000k. The quality of editing and story telling is superb.

My brother & I are just starting a 1984 USA Turbo Esprit, here near Dallas. Engine runs but trannie crown gear is shot. Fixing all the electrical gremlins first. Love the stop motion George.

Proud to be a patreon of this channel. Things are getting exciting now.

Nearly brought one of these 20 years ago 2-2 turbo, told thay are in the work shop more than on the road so went for the 911 . Love your video thou

Just came across this channel by pure chance, watching Hubnut, revealing what he watches on KZfaq. The sound in that recent vid was poor, but he said so beforehand. Was checking through the comments and someone recommend this channel. Wow, quality channel, very professional, subscribed 👍

What a fantastic channel. Each video is a work of art. Amazingly good.

Never have I ever in my life heard a slav with an irish accent. 10/10, would watch again.

Can't wait for more, I have been a massive Colin Chapman fan sense the 60's, Love Lotus !

Just recently discovered your channel. I love the filmography! Also it's really cool how you tell the story of the project and process. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to more videos!

I just discovered you tonight thanks to youtube recommendations (finally the got an algorithm that works!). 2 mins in and I've already liked and subscribed. Love the show, the style, the dialogue and the car choice. Don't ever change!

Best car channel on the tube. Thank god it's not a new Lamborghini.

What a superb filming work. Hats off.

We are building a fighting force of extraordinary magnitude. We forge our spirits in the tradition of our ancestors. You have our gratitude.

This channel will have millions of subs in the future. Just keep this quality and wait, time will do the magic.

I watched every single episode and i have to say its crazy how you, as a one man show puts something together that makes the stuff on TV look boring despite having the budget they spend for coffee! Keep up the great work.

Thanks for the subtitles during the interview, they really helped cut through his thick accent!

I have spent this week swallowing your entire collection of videos... (just discovered them). You have that "it" of the good stuff. Can´t wait to see more!

Don't fret...... I myself, am on an a budget, an a whole LOT disorganized. You're doing a great job. Cheers.

I really enjoy the way you photography the motions of the work. I know you have spent a ton of time of the video work alone but it really makes a difference. So glad I found this channel.

Excellent! So excited to see the Esprit take shape. This is my favourite car show.

Another great one, George. Proud to be a supporter. Glad to see your channel getting a little bit of the recognition that it deserves.

The best car restoration video on KZfaq.

George, you are a seriously good filmmaker with fantastic taste in cars. One of my favourite car designs of all time so i cant wait to see the journey.

You are the magician in these car restoration projects, love watching your videos.... It's a great owner.

Great to see the Lotus again. Great to see you too. And over 30k subscribers! Things is happening. Excellent!

Love watching people who quite simply know their shit. That blasting guy was clearly very very skilled.

Congrats george on the new subs and 800k views on the rangie lets hope it get to a million. Good to hear that my donation amongst many has helped you get a decent welder be nice to see you put it to work and get that lotus one the road

At the end of Episode 39 I was disappointed to find 40 was all about some old Range Rover and no sign of continuity on the Esprit ......then I started watching and read the back story and the production and presentation quality just got better and better 👍😊 totally hooked and great to see it back in harness. Now the Esprit is back - just brilliant ! Rebuilding my XJS 4.0 manual coupe - George you’re an Inspiration for Restonuts all over !

Not bothered about cars but love the videos ,quality handwork and likeable chaps ,thanks

So glad to see that new welder in action.

Bro, I just wish i could like donate billions of dollars, ur content is so high quality and must have taken ages to post one video. KZfaq is dumb for not giving you like 1000000 million subs. Keep up the goodwork man. (Land Rover Fan btw)

Esprit is back, FINALY 🤣 We are with you man ! 👨‍🔧

Brilliant! Another master class on car restoration with KZfaq film making elevated to a documentary style. Gotta admire your dediction, thanks for all your hard work. I feel so guilty sitting here on sofa drinking Guiness!

George I will say it again and again Thank you for the awesome job and passion that you put on your videos and projects . You deserve more subscribers

Great, been waiting for this project to come back, very excited to see your methods, learnings, guidance and of course the results. This car will bring you many memories, friends and of course frustrations and joys.

Being a Land Rover fan I was mesmerised with your RRC restoration and find the stop-motion filming so enjoyable. That's NOT to say I won't enjoy watching a Lotus receive the same amazing care and treatment! One good thing about this damn virus, being in lockdown in Kilkenny isn't too bad when I can binge watch series like this! Cheers and good luck!

Fantastic! George is back... Double fantastic, the Esprit is back too. It's a great morning here in the desert :-)

Another amazing video! One of, if not the best restoration series on youtube. Great work.

Just started watching your vids from scratch.... just on episode 4 and I have to say we have a few things in common the cars for one being and I go to Greece once a year and love that there’s still save able cars and buses ... oh and I’m Irish. I’m home restoring my 911 Hopefully are paths might cross someday

You're on your way now! Rangie looks good too, glad to see her lending her muscle to the works!

hopefully wrapping up putting my s2 esprit together over here in the usa. This channel and your journey with this car has been a HUGE HUGE inspiration. I totally know where you are coming from with that last bit sleeping out with the car in the tent.

Best of luck, man. Truly inspiring work.

“Boobs” 😆 Great to see you back George. In as much as I loved the Rangey build, can’t wait to see the Esprit build. Good luck 👍

Been waiting for an Esprit update. Now I’m inspired to get back to my MGB!

Good to see the Lotus getting some love and the Rangie getting used.

great to see you back on this after the rangie, so glad your upgrading the welder cant wait to watch the progress

One of my favourite car design of that era!

Well George, so close to 30k.... can you believe it! Best wishes to you.

Fantastically smooth filming and sublime music. Great to have you back!

Absolutely excellent. Eat your hearts out 'Wheeler Dealers!' Looking forward to the next installment mate.

Great to see an update on this, number plate seems very appropriate to you, I read it as 'Ever Test' . Keep plugging away, you'll get there, great progress in this episode 👍

So glad to see the esprit back!

Nice work George, great to see the channel picking up.

30 K! And your channel deserve even more subs,lets go to 100 k!! keep the amazing work!

Nice new hair style George! Thanks for another update. Love the Esprit. Of note, I cut out of heap of rust spots out of the M3 on the weekend and bought a rust free chassis.. for $100! Oh laughed at the love for the Rangey!

Brilliant as ever George.

Amazing production quality. Great storytelling too. Kudos, sir.

Thanks for the shot out, happy to be a new Patreon supporter. I was intrigued to see you paint the chassis before all the cutting and fixing. Looking forward to seeing this come to life in the coming months!

Best wishes! Watching you since Range Rover and can't wait till another series 😄

Welcome back, George! Looking forward to seeing you get stuck in. Good luck!

Long may it continue indeed! Great video George! This is my favourite new channel this year! Keep up the awesome content

Bravo Giorgo! Awesome episode!

Great news, the Esprit build begins! Now I enjoyed the Range Rover build, but I've been waiting for this. ;)

Another excellent video. Can't wait to hear about the welding.

Delighted to see you back George - and great to see a proper bump in the subs too! Hopefully I'll bump in to you around Dublin sometime, whenever I finally get this Morris Minor Pickup finished!! 😂

Good luck with your new mig welder, I've the same one and it has worked beautifully on restoring a completely rusted out truck and repairing a couple more cars with more or less rusty areas.

Love your editing. Going to watch more of your videos

Nice to see you back and making vids. good luck and best wishes.

This..... is the build. 😍

Great to see you back. Keep up the great work.

My first ever 'crush' car - of course, The Spy Who Loved Me and I had the big Corgi for Christmas that year. All the very best with this resto, looks like you made a great start. Liked and subbed.

This is world class content

Congrats on the new welder.

Glad to see, you have finally proper welding machine :-) Wish you best. Michal

What a bloody good editing skills and good work. Super channel. Keep it on.

Congrats George, what a job!!! Excellent, awaiting next as always

My Esprit S2 was identical - except that I swapped the rear glass for the open louvres of the Turbo Esprit. Later, having experienced one too many blow-offs by other drivers, the worst being two cute girls in a Honda CRX!! I decided that I would take it no more, so I hopped it up with an all-aluminium, custom-built Buick 215cu in, which was the engine sold to Rover and which became the Rover 3.5 litre and went into so many British cars. The engine was all ported and polished, had a special crankshaft. It was no heavier than the Lotus engne but I had 300hp in that Esprit - what a sleeper it was. I kept the same Citroen SM gearbox and it could handle all that hp. I did take out clutch disks, though, but that was cured with a centerforce clutch. The gear ratios weren't quite right for the extra hp, so I always started off in second. Second gear got me 90mph, with three gears left to go. A friend and I drove for 30 mins at 140mph on Hwy 80 in California! The car was fantastic at that speed - it just squatted down and was utterly stable. The car wasn't chopped in any way to get that engine into it. All I had to do was add two radiators. I drove it every day in Vancouver Canada and then brought it down to California. I had no chance to get it through the 'smog' test here in California, so I drove it 18 hrs up to Vancouver and sold it there. What a fabulous car and a real testament to Colin Chapman and the Lotus people. One quick story: I had a friend, Gordon, with a 1988 Corvette, who told me that when I was all finished with the Lotus we would have a quick drag race, he would beat the pants off me and then I could go crying home to mummy. Well.... about 5 weeks later he showed up at my office at the end of a work day and we decided to drive to my place about 3 miles away and have a couple of beers. I said look, let;s just drive like a couple of old ladies please no racing or 'edgy' driving because my gear shift wasn;t yet set to the correct throw and I could only get second gear and upwards. He agreed so off we went - I was in front in the Lotus. Within no more than 50 yards I heard his Corvette revving behind me and he was pushing me to go for it. What the hell - I went for max. We were on a long, tightening curve, about 1 quarter of a mile long, terminating at a tee junction at a heavily-trafficked street. I was at over 80mph and all four tires were shrieking. He was dropped back and I needded to begin a shutdown but I didn't dare touch the brakes, so I just floored the clutch and waited. I looked in the rearview mirror - Gordon was now completely sideways at 80mph, I ignored him and concentrated on my shutdown - looked back at the mirror - Gordon was now backwards at 70mph, I started braking now, looked anxiously at the mirror - Gordon was now sideways again - this time in the opposite direction. Now I came to a stop at the intersection and waited. Gordon pulled alongside and was white as a sheet - haha! The Lotus triumphed! The next day, Gordon came t my office and we went in his car for lunch. The ride was terrible - I mean unbelievably terrible, as if the wheels were square. When we stopped I look at his (super-expensive) tires and they were all flattened in one big patch. He had frozen on the brakes during his 80mph loop on the road. BWAHAHAHA! So the conclusion: Corvette=straight-line car - no match for a Lotus - just lead any pumped-up American car into a corner at high speed in your Esprit and watch the fun!

Oh fantastic I’ve been waiting so long for a new Lotus video thank you

Brilliant, brilliant. Great to see you back.

Cracking work! Keep the love flowing.

Loving your work.

Ok so KZfaq has only gotten round to suggesting one of your videos and having watched it this is now the first channel I've ever subscribed to. Maybe it's cos I'm Irish, I have a project 1980 Lotus Esprit S2 awaiting restoration and until v recently my daily driver was an 80s Range Rover, but this video speaks my language lol. Can't wait to set some time aside and dive into all your output. Fantastic - really glad to have stumbled across it!

Thx for the media blasting lesson Andy

So, so good...this project is going to be awesome to follow!!

Amazing channel George 😍 can’t wait to see the final car
