Dear Santa,
Can I have an Esprit? V8, in Black, and enough money for another one so I can afford to run it for a month.

S3 Esprit are that pricey any more - We were looking at a few down south round the 9k mark before we got the chance of Mandy's S1.
Not the cheapest car to run with the price of fuel - but has to be one of THE coolest.

I've been told, on good authority, that they are more practical than an elise as an everyday car.
Bearing in mind theirs practical and then there is practical compared with an elise!

I thought practical had to include reliability......

yeah - but you would need to be damn unlucky for both your elise & esprit to break down at the same time
