Lotus Esprit
Shaw's wife, Hayley, sold his Lotus Esprit, worth £25,000, for 50p on eBay after he told Jodie Marsh live on air that he would leave his wife and two children for her. Hayley placed the lot on the auction site at the 'buy it now' price of 50p with the description 'I need to get rid of this car in the next two to three hours before my husband gets home to find it gone and all his belongings in the street.' The car sold within five minutes. The scandal made international news and Shaw even made a live apology to his wife on Channel 4's Richard & Judy show. He then bought the car back for £5000.

Never ever again. Had an 1980 S2 and it was shocking. Spent a fortune on it getting it right and it would still decide to stop, on occasion, for no reason. Bits would also detach themselves from the car again for no reason and it would run out of electricity. This was after a complete engine rebuild after a snapped timing belt which was after a full service! I loved the way it looked and went when it worked but it killed my love of old Esprit.

No...I really don't

That'll teach her to wear that outfit in an early lotus. It must be a bugger having to push that off the road in heels.No...I really don't
this one though...hell yeah
The exterior is so right...but the interior....?!
Somebody must have thought it looked good in the 70s...but how?
Having said that there are plenty of fashions and trends now that make me think that in 30-40 years people might judge similarly (take botox for a start: what is it with people that want to look like they have had botched, reconstructive surgery? Or anyone that has appeared on Snog, Marry, Avoid)
