I think there is a picture in Jeremy Waltons book "The Complete Story", I will check my bookshelf when I go to bed to be sure! Are you having some made, or trying to locate a set??

I thought only the '87 Limited Edition Giugiaro HC Turbos commemorating 21 years at Hethel (2-tone paint jobs etc) were the only Esprits to get fitted luggage?
Can anyone living near Paul Mattys check the one he has for sale?!

Paul Matty told me that the only thing missing from his "new" '87 Esprit is the fitted luggage.....

Dunno about you Pat but that would put me off?
Surely the fitted luggage was part of the appeal of the Ltd.21 Year HC Turbos? I've got some pictures somewhere at the Motor Show from '87 - I thought the 2-tone paint jobs looked naff? The one on the stand then was Red which was probably the best one but I've seen a blue one and a Grey one (like Mattys') and I think they look daft. Did like the 2-spoke Momo wheels done in Suede though?

Cheers for the info guys, you'll have to keep an eye out for my esprit then cos im in the middle of making some hard luggage, its just a daft idea i had but im trying it out. Two small cases which strap down. I will finish then trimmed in the magnolia leather the interior is in. Lets hope they turn out OK.
Cheers Tony.

Tony - if you have any more magnolia left when you are finished - let me know how you feel about trying some customized stuff for a '98

I don't like them either, but I've only ever seen a grey one.

I would be sooner tempted by a JPS S2.
