I'd always wanted to fit a V8 to my Esprit -
but no silly plans of using a Rover unit here, of course, this
is a Lotus and weight distribution and handling are every bit as
important as power
This "exotic fuel additive
called V8" that seemed to be widely available did get me thinking
though: could this be the answer to my
dreams...
Alas it didn't work and smelt strangley of vegetables! - a
Castrol R thing, or was I on the wrong track?
My young sons , Nathan,
Mitchell and Jordan, were always involved with the plans for my
"dream car"
Two of my boys, the twins Nathan, Mitchell (left to right,
pictured on the right) Mitch and Nate came to the Donnington Lotus
festival back in 92/93 (before my other son Jordan was born) and
studied the backbone chassis construction of the Turbo Esprit
They noted the space in the engine cradle
for a V8...
They also spotted an Esprit
GT2 racer... Didn't they make a V8 version of this Dad?
