Sampled a GT3 today
Discussion
Went to Barry Ely today to test drive the yellow GT3 - unfortunately the traffic was quite heavy so he just drove it for me, there was no chance of me driving!!!
But as a passanger I was very impressed how it accelerated with hard driving, my stomach certainly went out the rear!!!
Lovely car! Very smooth and agile!
So the GT3 is certainly an option, I do like that its got the option of the later interior.
But tell me does the interior only come in black? Barry Ely wasn't sure.
Anyway, I've now got to really test drive one and get on to testing the S4s & V8.
Good fun.

Gt3s are nice, the late interioris very neat.
Make sure you get a proper test drive though; I took a ride in one and thought the seller was being casual, holding the wheel with his arm out the window. Only when I took the driving seat did I realise it was pulling to the left like a ba$tard and he was hanging on!
PS I thought the interior was black only, but have seen two recently with red seats and carpets, also cream seta and carpets. Doors and dash seem to stay black though.

My GT3 was also black interior. Handled beautifully and went well enough (esp once I chipped it).
Was also bought from Barry Ely and although I did get to test drive it myself, he drove it first during which he deliberately power slid it round a large roundabout - rather closer to a moving bus than I might have liked :-)

My GT3 has a black interior also. Another owner I know well also has a black interior.
On the subject of Mr Ely : I bought my last Esprit from him, he drove it and drove like a total looney, 60+ up a sid street with cars on both sides, far to far round a large roundabout ( maybe the same one ? ) etc. I did buy it, it must be said.
