S3 Newbie Says Hello

[Esprit S3]

A very big hello to everyone. Well I've finally gone and done it and bought a White 1984 non turbo S3.

It's just come out from its first MOT and my wallet is still relatively unscaved but even my extremily untrained eye can see that there is stuff to do... and lots of it...oh dear.

Knowing virtually nothing about Esprits I'd like to apologise in advance for all the newbie questions that I'm sure to be throwing at you all.

Welcome and Congrats!

The sorting part will be fun and is an integral part of owning one of these pre-owned jewels.

Search the archives, peruse the EFF and LEW websites and take advantage of the knowledge on the lists as they are an invaluable source of info.

And don't be concerned with being a newbie as we've all been there.

Hello welcome to Esprit ownership, your life will never be the same now, you will live, dream and breath Esprits all the time like most of us here. Such a shame
As above there is a wealth of info here, so just fire the questions away if you get stuck am sure someone will love to help you out.
Regards,
Kylie

Hi,

Welcome to Esprit ownership! I've had my black S3 N/A for 5 months now. This forum has been invaluable to me since, great people and very knowledgable!

Cheers,

Yo Esprit S3 my man; welcome to the clan!

Had my S3 since February, bought it as a project and haven't actually driven it more than a couple of hundred yards. Keeps my TVR company though...

At least I have a spare 'unreliable' car for when the Lots Of Trouble breaks...
