Rich Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 I thought your dream car was the Lambo? Who did you sell the Lotus to, maybe start with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Esprit was the dream car from one of the Bond films and the Lambo from cannonball run...... I sold the car to a dealer but i have no idea who? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Try the dealer then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 That's what i was saying i don't know who the dealer was? He got a train to Chesham and drove the car away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMARTLY Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Didn't you communicate with him? Emails? Txts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Surely you know the dealers name, where they're based and have contact details? What about the V5, don't you have to send that back yourself with the dealers details on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 That reg is saying it's a white Lotus Esprit and it's on a SORN. The MOT has expired and on the history check the mileage seems to go up and down! So it's either been clocked or entered incorrectly.

Tony Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 The time i sold it my mind was very foggy what with Lynn's death and all. All i can remember is i sold it via Pistonheads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMARTLY Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 If it was me I'd go for another one, I seem to remember you had some problems with it didn't you? You are unlikely to get current owners details without a written request to DVLA with a more valid reason or asking a bent cop ( if they even exist ). To help us search for it what year was it, miles, full model description, anything else you know ( red colour name, colour of interior etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 I never had any problems with it other than spin it a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMARTLY Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Thought there were paint problems and interior problems, or was that the other one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Nah that was the Lambo..... If the Lotus is repainted white i wouldn't wast it back anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Hi Tony, I am rushing for a flight, give me a week or so and I will get you some dates and hopefully a photo to remind you. Was a brilliant car, ultra reliable for around 50,000 miles I did across Europe, track days and sunny Sundays. Best regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
