Lotus Esprit Sport 300 Photo's/Resources

[mredzadventure]

I was at the Model show at the Kalamazoo Air Zoo yesterday and picked up a Monogram Lotus Esprit Kit 2970 for a good price and a thinking about it for a winter project. I'm finding out pictures are a little hard to come by using standard Google practices. The kit looks pretty good to my eye it's molded in a metallic green.

I don't remember to many kits going that route before but I have a complete model. The kit needs brake discs and I don't think the seats are correct. Any references on the engine, interior,brakes and under carriage would be great.

Did you try Google's "Image" search feature?

I have some saved in my Lotus file http://public.fotki.com/JCole/cars--british/lotus/

Not a lot of engine pics, just use Google as mentioned above, or look in eBay Motors.

Some of this may lead to further, more specific information on your particular Lotus.

I don't know anything about the following book, but you should check into things like the availability of service and workshop manuals, etc. Just check with a dealer.

Thanks for the links. It's a good start. It looks like the sport 300 was made in low numbers. I don't know enough about this car yet to know what parts from different years will work. I will poke around some owners clubs there is sure to be a Guru around somewhere.
