Nigel Mansell’s legacy auction results

There were two pairs of his Lamborghini skis. They would have looked fabulous on the back of an Esprit. (Sadly I don't have an Esprit, and nor do I ski.)

But have either of those things ever stopped you before ?

Seeing that makes me want my esprit back

I wonder what they would look like on an Elite, without the rear wing

My esprit 2.2 turbo sounded like a cement mixer though even with a custom exhaust

Crack on Andy. That's gorgeous! (And I'd forgotten you had that. V jealous!)

Not great, need the garage and a ramp (I know its been in planning for years).
Been through it from head to toe and put together a parts list all the obvious recommissioning bits, brakes, bushes, belts etc as well as bits that are too far gone to save (although that list is quite small). Working down this shopping list surprisingly nearly everything is still available from the UK but as import duty is a pain here I collect a batch every time I'm over.

There in November so another box of parts to collect, this time Mazda parts as the MX5 headlight mechanism is a good upgrade for the original Lotus solution, and hopefully there might be one at the NEC Classic Car show so I can have a good look at how some parts fit together.
