The car is awsome, and the paint work is the best ive seen, interior is clean but drivers seat is worn and could do with re-leathering.
Some of the bits listed have not been done yet but thats pretty much how it will be by the end of april minus a few extra little bits.

I was thinking around £16,500 ono?

What do you reckon?

Hi,

Esprit buyers, in general, tend to be highly knowledgeable about these cars. With a highly modified car, it depends totally on the buyer. Some will view your mods as positive and place a premium on them.

Others may see it as a problem car which required all the mods you've made and won't view them as positive at all. Worse still, I would suspect a highly modified car as having been driven harder than most. Still others will not appreciate the intense deviation from stock form. The car could command a high price, or may take a long time and possibly some discounting to gain a buyer. Good Luck! Happy Motoring!... Jim'85TE
