Hey All,
My dad & brother are contemplating an S1 Esprit as the next familly project car.
(we've re-built and tuned a triumph gt6+ and a datsun 260Z thus far)
There's a local one selling for a pretty good price that's already had the engine rebuilt and seems to need mostly just interior work.
My question is what are the S1's like to drive/live with?
Granted it must be one of THE sexiest cars of the 70's, but how about performance? Does the smaller engine dissapoint? I imagine handling is pretty darn good, especially considering the weight.
I drove the Z as a daily driver for years (and probably would still have it if someone didn't write it off
) Does the Esprit have that kind of livability? Dad's retired now so it's not really going to be a "dailydriver".
