This 1989 Lotus Esprit was restored by a custom bicycle maker

It's been a while since I posted a video from Petrolicious. This channel has always been one of my favorite original content sources for car videos but I have to admit that I've sort of slacked in keeping up with their videos. I skipped more than a few once life sort of got busy (that's a good thing!) but I just opened this one up and wow, what a stunner!

This is a 1989 Lotus Esprit made by Spencer Canon, founder of custom bicycle shop Ritte Cycles. Along with custom bicycles, Ritte occasionally invests time and money into car restorations it seems and this Esprit was made alongside an equally beautiful Prototype Ritte Ace bike. While it might not be the ultimate sports car fantasy, this shade of light blue goes well with the retro styling of the Lotus Esprit, making it something I'd love to own one day. I don't really care that it doesn't even go fast (I mean, it does, just not very fast).
