We found this Tyre Placard in the glovebox of one of our Esprit V8 Twin Turbo's
This decal that was placed in the car from new says it all, as it was BEFORE we added the "missing" 226 bhp that the engine was designed with, prior to Lotus de-tuning it to keep the transmission together.

Even though this car is the lower powered U.S.A. option, Petrolicious still loved this excellent car.
It would seem that the writer found this car to be superior to many other cars of it's time, as well as right up to the present day.

No wonder we purchased so many Supra TT's 18-22 months ago for very little, and then shipped some of them........
This Quiksilver Supra is totally original in every way with reasonably low mileage, just as they should be for maximum appreciation.
Sometimes it is great to reflect upon the great things achieved across time.
As we all know, the correct Collectible Cars always gain massively in value, and so whilst this news article is not from 2019, it serves to remind us why we do what we do, by picking all the winners from the crowd.
Back in July, 2018, great 840 Ci's similar to this car were changing hands for an average of £12,800.
