I was always a fan of the Lotus Esprit, especially the later series that had been reworked by Peter Stevens. I count myself fortunate to have been able to work with Lotus engineers at the beginning of my career on the ABS for the M100 Elan and the X180R Esprit and would love to someday drive one again. It was certainly a flawed car as Roger Becker explained to me in some detail as I rode shotgun with him around the Milford proving ground but it had character.
