You don't want to take your loved Esprit anywhere near Hethel...

it'll end up being taken in as a development mule for the new one!!!! :shock

It was a superb couple of days.

I think I was the only person from up her tbh Alan, It was arranged on the LEF forum.

I even got a test drive, no sorry, screamed the nuts out of a new europa, nice piece of kit tbh. Quite impressed with it and suitably fast.

I think it was the biggest gathering of esprits ever and was only limited by the slots that hethel could offer. They hid everything new though :(

The factory support for the day was stunning and listening to Mike Kimberley taling about his time with colin when we were having the dinner is one of those memories that will stick!!!

Nick Adams was there though and I think took a few laps in the race car thingy they had at shelsey walsh.

We could take camera's so I dont have any pictures but the convoy to hethel with 95 cars in convoy taking up miles of road was certainly a sight!!

Cheers

Wouldn't mind doing a similar event for classic Europas but I doubt there are 100 running regularly throughout the country. :roll

looked like a great day. Thanks for posting the link. Did Mike Kimberley have anything to say about the future?

I heard rumours of a flying DeLorean.
