Hi thanks for that but the car is a cat c salvage which come with out the logbook until it's been repaired and vic checked i'm more interested in what modifications the engine and gearbox have had if any.

For goodness sake cut the car up and throw it away. An old Esprit which has been through that sort of treatment and then gets "salvaged" is going to be no use to anyone.

pop over to the Esprit forum as most of the internets Esprit knowledge lies there:

Thats exactly what i plan to do break it for spares as i only want the engine but to save myself some time if i can find out what mods it has i dont have to open the engine up.
Plus this was someones pride and joy as the engine is heavily detailed with no wiring nor pipes shown and was mint before the crash.

Erm why? An Esprit is a fairly simple thing, backbone chassis with a glass fibre body. If I recall correctly the chassis is completely replaceable and fibre glass body work isn't that hard to work on.
