Second Esprit

 

My second Esprit was a 1989 Turbo which I bought in 1996 from Barry Ely Sports Cars in Leyton, London. As you can see, it has a rather 70’s leather interior. It had AC and a glass sunroof which you can take out and stow in the boot if you can pass the Krypton Factor like test to make it go in.

 

Wing

 

Later, I added a Sport 300 wing but unfortunately I don’t have a picture with it fitted.

 

Figures

 

This model has the 2.2 litre engine producing 215 bhp and 210 lb/ft of torque. The 0-60 time is 5.2 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph.

 

I kept it for 2 years before trading up to the much newer GT3.
