About the Project
Having found and bought an S1 Esprit here in England, Jeff from Florida, USA, decided to have his newly acquired S1 rebuilt in England as well. Like Wyn’s, it was a full body off restoration that left no stone unturned. After the car had been stripped down, the entire interior was delivered to us by courier so that we could start the re-trim. The dashboard was trimmed first and sent back down to the car for re-fitting. We then got on with the seats, door panels and transmission tunnel top. The car came to us in early 2007 as a bare shell inside, except for the trimmed dashboard. We then made and fitted all the carpets, headlining and cant-rails and put the whole car interior back together.
After appearing in Octane magazine, the car was shipped over to its owner in Florida and now lives near Disneyland.
