Here is information on where to get the Heads Up Display if you want one of these for your ride. Apparently the HUD's are available on E-Bay. The previous owner installed this one from:

http://www.tmtuning.com / http://www.in-pro.com (in.pro Headup Display) although it came from overseas. sellmoreVTC's 1997 Lotus Esprit

Here too is the Valentine One in the trunk. See the left side carpet (just behind drivers side door) lies flat?

The right side has a buldge that you probably wouldn't notice...

That's because it's hiding this!

There is a small black slot in the front that points through the window just behind the passenger seat.

If you like the Valentine One set up check with Beast Motorsports for the audio module and / or technik1.com for the concealed display rear view mirror. I have been very happy with the performance of the V1.

Have you, or any other Esprit owner that you know of, tried to swap a transmission from an Acura NSX into the Esprit? That should fix the tranny reliability issues should it not?
