Esprit at the MotorShow
Excel 23rd July- 3rd Aug 2008
Both Ken Baird's S1 and the Sport 350 appeared on the Heritage Stand at this years Motorshow, which opened on 23rd July and runs until Sunday 3rd August. Lotus unveiled the new Evora at the same show. Good to have an Esprit presence at such a big show, especially with Lotus being one of the main attractions at this year show.
