i think the younger generation's dream is to own a home. Something older people take for granted.

Great informative vidéo Ta

I don't know the reason why the coupe doesn't have the chrome trim on the body beneath the window; however, its interesting that a chrome trim was indeed added to the coupe 2+2 variant. I imagine it was for design purposes in both cases. Thank you for posting your video.

Stunning car very well done it would interesting to know the build cost and donor car price to gauge I’m sure people watching would love to replicate this amazing car

The 360 was not a bad follow up mechanical and design wise. Especially, when doing service on the timing belt. After that I lost interest in Ferrari. The newer stuff has too many cuts and creases (in the design)for aggression and cooling.

Simply gorgeous - been a massive fan of these two since age 8 when my meighbours had a red coupe. You lucky, lucky man! <3

that dark blue spa;der, oh my lord!

For me, the Esprit S1 is the most beautiful car ever made. I badly need to have one.

Looks great, albeit a purist's nightmare.

Great, am excited to follow your progress. Like to think I would do exactly as you are planning. Such a great car, deserves to be brought up to date with performance and reliability.

What an experience to see a car returned to as good as it was meant to be but with a tweak or two to make it so much more fun & drivable. Well done!!!

The reason the boots all had the light tan interior, was to give the illusion of more space in there.

Well done. Thank you for the video.

3:15 - Breaking the cardinal rule of closing a trunk, overcoming resistance by forcing it closed. That resistance is how the trunk communicates something is preventing it from closing normally and needs attention before attempting to close it again. Forcing the trunk to close by pressing down hard as the narrator does risks damaging the securing mechanism or worse, could result in damage to the trunk lid due to a protruding object in the trunk bending the lid to enable closure.

My father had a roaster, I hated it, I was much taller than my father 6.3 and you needed goggles when driving fast.

I have never seen anyone drive a car one handed before. Appalling bad habit. Very beautiful cars and great colour choice, ac too. It would seem most e types have the wider wheels.

Really enjoyed the timelapse at the end of you unloading the car, very please I stayed until the very end!

Really enjoying this series, I remember the Steed car from my youth and I'm looking forward to the next update

And the radio aerial?

Absolutely beautiful and stunni g car

Change to percent it's more accurate....you can run as low as 10% then recharge....more stops short time charging...less stops longer charging....do not over exagerate small percent use is towing....it's daily use is unmashed

so if your towing with a EV you need to take two pack lunches 🙄

The prettiest piece of machine ever designed by mankind.

All depends how often you tow. If it’s only occasionally I don’t see that it’s much of a compromise. If you enjoy the EV when not towing and 90% of your driving is without a trailer in tow, just enjoy the 90% use and put up with the slight inconvenience on 10% of your journeys. People need to stop looking for the negatives in anything new.

Other makes and models of diesel are available. 2.0 Skoda does the job perfectly well.

As we have all been watching all the charging stations have been built I have been saying to everyone are there going to build a bigger car park to put all the caravans on lol

And this is why EV's are crap.

Not the most informative video I've ever watched TBH - and I actually drive a Tesla so have half an idea what you're on about. But just one quick query - You're not taking your "remaining range" from that battery figure shown at the top of the display screen, are you..?

😢you didn't mention how much it cost to supercharge the battery to travel just 145 miles

Listen to everything you said in this clip,, and you dont have range anxiety. The whole clip is that!

Dont get used to it. Send it to scrap and buy a Landcruiser that is suitable for towing, Unlike an EV on super low profile tyres which are really dangerous to tow with. Virtually no passenger car made in the lasat 25 years are suitable to tow a car trailer, large boat or horse float. Not just EVs. And that is Australian cars,, pommy prams have never been suited!! Well maybe a Roller and the big cars.

Why on earth would u want to ?

Before the ev the world was a better place and the car industry

It isn;t 'tall people' who look over the top of the roadster windscreen - I am six foot tall, but I have a relatively short body and long upper legs. So I am fine for looking through the windscreen but I can only JUST get enoug leg- room in my Series II roadster with the roof down, as the seat hits the hood frame. I could never fit in a Series I. Did Sir William never actually SIT in one of these cars?

When towing I reckon to get 50-55% of the range without a trailer which if you think about it is logical. Electric cars are incredibly energy efficient, with very low internal losses. This means that the energy lost while driving is due to two main factors, air resistance and weight. If you increase the amount of air resistance by a factor of 2 and double the weight then of course you are going to lose half your range. With an ICE car most of your energy losses are through heat lost in the exhaust and radiator and adding a trailer doesn't increase these, so proportionally the range lost while towing with an ICE car is far less.

Is the body of the Esprit basically the same between the S1, S2, and S3? (I mean other than the bumpers, the tail lights, and the air scoops behind the rear quarter windows.) The S3 somehow looks quite different to me.

I changed my W12 Bentayga to a diesel version, (I'm back and forth to Italy a fair bit hence the change). My Bentayga returns 45mpg on the motorway and 40 mpg when towing. Road tax is only £200 a year. Utterly brilliant.

I used to tow with a 2.4 Nissan Laurel straight 6.........also a 3.0 24 valve Vauxhall Senator Both were brilliant.

Job #1: Tell the government to stick it.

Had one myself, everyone said don’t sell it you’ll regret it, I did and lived to regret it, it’s never perfect but nothing comes close for thrills.

Thanks for the test mate, I guess the result is no different to our LR Disco 4 SDV6; it hoses the fuel in when towing and the range halves. Once battery capacity and charging improves then EVs will make the perfect tow car - heavy, no gears, max torque from 0, 4WD. Just not yet.

Yes

Why bother, use a diesel to tow. I can see the future service station car parks full of unhooked caravans.

Not for me, I have no interest in EV’s , diesel landy or Rangy every time , don’t have time for this silliness of finding chargers and messing with range, it defeats the point of using a vehicle to get a job done, it’s like the tail wagging the dog

I got anxiety watching this and I know you got to my house😂

Basically an EV is shit then.

get a TDV8 range rover, great tow car, economic-ish, nice place to be and great value for your money

I use a Rexton 2.7 tdi for towing, merc engine and gearbox!

The loss of mpg with a diesel or even petrol towing seems lower with respect to the energy loss of the EV. Thanks for the video. Aren't the Volvo turbodiesel estates good towing vehicles?

Brave ........very brave ! 😊
