Go for it.
You'll spend a packet if you hold on to it for a while, but if you do your three month turnaround special, it could be a good bet. Don't expect an Elise though - bigger car and not as nice a chassis. Still 99% better than most things for that cash though!

I am not interested in buying it, just doing a trawl of PH classifieds whilst at work and hadnt really looked at what Esprits go for.
Only 240bhp though, but probably not bad once moving. Looks the nuts though in a 80s way

Alot of people mistakingly translate the french "esprit" to "spirit" when it really means "money pit"
whatever happened to the 5th gear Esprit ? they where going to tune it to do 200mph but it broke down 5 mins after picking it up. and thats after getting it checked out. The gearboxes are made of butter.

Break yourself in with something like a Noble first
A joke in remarkably poor taste
