Also, chocolate Beetle

All Esprits should be crushed and burned? Please elaborate. In the meantime, you can eat a dick.

It’s not the money sometimes with these things. I mentioned to TFitch one day recently that a particular Esprit honestly made me rethink my career. Seems to have always been the case with these both as a tech and in parts

I think the one you have there might be a V8, I was thinking of the turbo 4 that had the overboost to >300 HP. I had a friend in Napa who had one, it was so damn cool. I wanted to drive it but the seat was bolted down and he was 6' and I am 6' 4" so it would never work. He then imported one of the first Elan’s with the supercharged toyota motors and tracked it at Sonoma.

No owner or tech should have to suffer dealing with them. Enough!

Yes! but then again I have a thing for British cars. And there is a higher chance the broken Esprit is a manual over my auto 928.
