For your viewing pleasure

Beauty.

Ironic given its size it is one of the better locally parked cars I have seen for a while.

I actually don't mind that!

At least whoever owns it doesn't take himself or his truck to seriously!

Spotted this yesterday at the Lulu lights - loved it! Original Mini Cooper. It looked in tip top condition.

Very nice.

That has got to be scary small on these roads !

My Mrs is desperate for one of these - however, she wants to foil it - pink!

there was a pink one on dubizzle a month or so back.

some nice cars on the roads today. spotted a tidy looking xjs convertible on the way to work, and then a corvette stingray, porsche 993 c4s, and a stunning black ferrari 575 on the easy home.

FF on the Palm this evening. It sounded glorious!

[dxbtiger]

^ nice spot, also the Cooper, looks clean as ****.

I also saw a red FF on the Palm, perhaps the same one. Not a pleasant looking car at all - Ferrari have finally gone Panamera on us.

An immaculate Lotus Esprit V8 outside Grosvenor House hotel.

Lovely!

I need to find this car in Dubai!!!!

Where is it now, anyone with any idea?

[dictys]

I have looked at two Lotus Esprit's V8 in Dubai one a 98 the other last of line (2002), one with zero miles and the other with low miles. The first one was found in the odd showroom in the used car center which overprices everything so not to sell, all the cars have zero or very low mileages, the other was in the industrial estate and missing a wheel, LOL. Both discounted.

I came to the conclusion that if I was going back to the esprit I would import from the US, F40 motorsports had a lovely yellow S4s but was sold before I made my enquiry.

Furthermore, in the summer you may find some cooling issues due to the heat and I am not sure how they would hold up in the heat. If you do go down that route I still have all the workshop manuals if you need a copy.

[oilydan]

How much did they want for the no-miler?

[dictys]

Stupid Money AED 400k IMHO

I would be looking for a nice very low miles Sport 300 for anywhere near this money.

[oilydan]

Problem with a no - or low - mileage Esprit is that, as soon as you took it for a spirited drive, everything would fall apart!

[Asterix]

I'm surprised they don't melt out here.

The 'Vette is also plastic and that doesn't melt. Why should an Esprit?
