Detuned from 500 bhp because the gearbox would not take that amount of power. Apparently LOTUS stands for; Lots Of Trouble, Usually Serious and some of these have been very unreliable whilst others have been fairly ok.

Would sound the same if i were to fart in a thincan

Sorry, but you got the figures wrong, the 2006 - 2008 V6 did 0-60 in 6.6 sec., the V8 did it in 5.4 sec, which is a considerable difference, not mentioning the sound and the torque.

Bought a R230, 2009 SL 350 with then 52,000klm $45,000 AU 4years ago today insurance company full compressive $47,500 still just 62,000klm, so they are holding or increasing in value, a pleasure to drive in Perth.

The workshop manual specifies the gap between the central plate which carries the "O" rings and the carb and manifold. Simply adhering to the cap ensures the carbs are mounted properly.....according to Lotus anyway!

Thank for that I only thought about one and got all that fantastic information

Damn, that is rare.

Black bumpers and rear light surround look very good indeed 👌. Your S3 looks fantastic, in my opinion better than the Bond Aston Martin. Esprit S1, 2 and 3 are stunning cars ❤

I love the classic lines of the S1. Beautiful cars.

Just for scale could you tell us how tall you are?

I have a BMW motorcycle registered 1st August 1984, but i have the bulid paperwork from the BMW historic department showing the build date as 5th April 1983, just been to the post office and they said thier system was showing the motorcycle as not eligible and there wasn't an option on build date, any idea how i can resolve this, thanks, good video.

That looks pretty cool. 👍

Jonny Smith has done a couple of videos on them in the last year. Well worth watching 👍

Love these two. But I'll have to stick with my Old Commer Cob. You never know though. Just need the YT channel to take off. Jamie

front engined V12 manual Ferarris are going extinct so you should absolutely buy one. Gated manual only.

Way ahead of its time, Considering Ford put the same valve train In their Cobra, Maurader And Lincoln’s About 30 years later

But what about 'The Spy Who Loved Me'? And you actually own an Esprit! 😂

Thank you! I never understood the differences. Series 1 is definitely my favorite!!

Of course yes…

Cars r cool !!

Hi , I saw a beauty of an E type in a petrol station near Chichester . It was very angular not at all like the three versions shown here. Any ideas? It looked sort of 70’s ... if that helps ..

I Bought my 2010 SL 350 in 2016 from Brooklands Mercedes, trading in a 2013 Jaguar XF diesel which gave me a superb exchange deal. It is in Iridium silver with a glass panoramic roof and red leather upholstery and trim. The car had only done 9250 miles at the time and had been used mainly as a leisure car. The first two services were with the main dealer because they had given a no quibble warranty as part of the purchase deal but from 2018 I have used a specialist who only use genuine parts and the Mercedes star diagnostic system and service record. It’s a joy to drive and when you consider how expensive it was when new it is only a bit more to run and insure than a newer standard everyday car mainly to do with lower annual mileage. Road tax is at the high end but if this became a financial issue I would sell it. To be fair it is only similar to buying new car. The car has now achieved 30,000 miles and is as good as the day I purchased it. I also own a classic 1990 V12 5.3 litre Jaguar XJS convertible and I just love the comparison in performance and driving style of driving both cars which are 20 years apart in age. Both are a joy to own, if not a cheap hobby.

I knew Jack Griffith when he and his wife, Marge, lived in Jacksonville, Florida.

I use a Carcoon for my Aston Martin, I would suggest use an indoor soft cover over your Lotus before you put the main cover on. This will protect your paintwork from any scratches on windy days as you will find the bubble will move about on very windy days.

Good on you. I love an inspired restoration with a good knowledge base. Respect.

That was a Lotus 340R next to the Bentley’s! Nice video.

Nice video!

Daimler with its extra build quality and of course the turner v8

Forgot to mention what happens when the vehicle is SORN'd.

For me, i found the QOS chase ruined by the overly quick cutting and it's too short to be truly enjoyable. The Spectre one was too dark, making the cars and scenery difficult to see and any tension in the chase was completely lost, as he made a phone call right in the middle of it. TLD is my favourite, cool car, cool gadgets and great music.

Can you let me know which controller you purchased (220/240Iv or 12/24v) please? I bought one,12/24v from Amazon and fitted to my Outdoor Car Shield but it didn’t work? I cannot seem to find a suitable 220/240v, one that looks like the one fitted? Thanks.

Fix the audio! You're cracking and popping.

Great fun - but for me it has to be the 2CV chase in For Your Eyes Only 🤣🤣🤣

either forwards or backwards also round corners i should imagine

Lovely car my father got a 12, his first car about '55 then a 1949 Light 15 a couple of years later. Sadly he sold it for £85 in 1960. Great car though.

Harry gosh darn it you're on da wrong side a da' road and too fast 😮

Congrats! A good milestone👍

I just bought one of those covers and I’m wondering where did you get your dimmer switch from? Thanks for your help.

keep up the good work ❤️

Make It Happen I'll buy One 🎉

One day i will own a 996 turbo.

no

So a waste of camera footage then.. basically

Hi! Simply amazing man!!... You had a simply sensational idea!!! Thank you for solving the problem! Congratulations!

HI! Were you able to drive with your knee touching the steering wheel??.. A curiosity please, how tall are you?.. Bye!

My Favourite car of all time and I don't drive. But I had a fleet of them on Grand Turismo!

Why is he, like many others, driving and doing a program at the same time. Maybe it's trendy of something.

I see you recommended the 2006 onwards with the 3.5 v6 over the earlier 3.7 v6. Unfortunately,cat on engine choice I disagree! The 3.5 was plaqued with cam gear problems etc that could distroy an engine if not fixed - and this was very expensive. The earlier 3.7 m112 engine had none of these problems and is virtually bulletproof - one of the best MB v6 engines ever made, alongside the latter m113.

well said..i always wanted one but the choice was food or a bike .money was tight..even when i see one on line i want one now...as we get older we rotate back to a child of the things we couldnt have..as in now buy one cause you deserve it ...when you look at it ..memories will make you smile and dreams do come through...❤❤ from ireland..

It would be better if you weren't driving, and eliminate the background noise.
