It is a fair point, people seem to be forgetting the thread is about why Esprits aren't going up in value. The perceived lack of quality must play a part in that.
As I said earlier, they're no worse or better than other exotics of their era. However, some are attracted by the low advertised sale price but ignore the fact that they require attention which can sometimes involve a time consuming stay with an expert - the same as any other specialist car.Ironically they will be the ones to complain when their bargain buy turns out to be unreliable because of scrimped maintenance. But looked after they are a tough old machine. I know it's just telly, but Top Gear's positive experience with an early V8 is typical of a car that has been serviced correctly.
