The original project to put a retired 1989 Lotus Esprit race car back on the road as a passenger car started in July 2001 and the progress has been documented here through periodic updates (and it is still in progress). The project evolved to become the repair of the 1997 Lotus Esprit V8 pictured above by replacing (not repairing) both its body and frame with parts from other donor cars. The most common question asked is "Why??? ... Couldn't you have just bought a running car for the cost of what you are doing?" The answer is of course! but now what fun would that be?

Why would anyone buy another Esprit when the first one they had been working on for two and a half years is not yet finished??? Because after making an Esprit out of a wrecked Espirt, a burned Esprit, and an old race car Esprit for two and a half years, this car was a slam dunk fix bargain. And ... Esprit projects don't come along everyday so one has to act when they become available (at the right price). The '02 car saga starts here:
