Vehicle1977 Lotus Esprit S1
Unique flat design allows maximum and optimal solar-panel
use... just to 'trickle' ;-)

This Bond car will not be used under water...

Batteries0.00 Volt,
The Batt-Pack has to be built into manageable unit(s).
The battery-disadvantages will be recycled....

Should stay acceptably low, main reason for choosing the
Lotus.
TiresI have some old "spy" pictures of a black Lotus Esprit
Turbo in front of GB's Good-Year Lab with double tires on
Gotti-rims. I wonder what happened to that project...
Conversion TimeRunning...
To all Lotus lovers:

I know this is the rare LHD S1 version:

WebPage

The engine was stripped and boxed when I acquired the car
(without papers) about 15 years ago (when I was still a petrol-head;-)
The body is very cracked, the chassis is very rusty and it has a 'splitting' front
screen.

If I was not to convert this car, it would probably end up as a spare-parts / donor-
car.

UPDATE: 15/07/06.
As this is a one-off, show-off plan, only costing money, I have put this project
temporarily on hold. I have just invested in another project which has true
production capability.
More later...
