S4 Engine cost?

[ebeck]

I love the Esprit. I would love to drive it. Not just polish it with a diaper, but drive it. Alot. I always wondered, if you drove an S4, and racked up the miles, does the car become disposable? That is, Is the cost of the engine rebuild greater than the cost of the car?

Er.. no. The esprit engine is not particuarly expensive to rebuild. Replacement engines are sometimes availaible in fact there's one for sale right now www.findit.co.uk/cars/lotus/parts/860418.htm £4250 brand new fully dressed.

There one on ebay with a bid of £2500, there are also some new ones in crates somewhere. (as rob said around 4k mark).

As usual, Rob, you know where all the best pics are

Actually, he has a few such engines still available as new in crates. One's mine...
