Bought a V8 Esprit on Saturday for a song! Sorry for the blurry camera phone picture.

Beautiful man!

Congratulations!

(be sure it doesn't get stepped on)

Are those the touring wheels?

I take it that is a after market CF wing. Must save a good 15-16 lbs.

I bought the exact same model at the grocery store the other day. There it was right in front on the Hot Wheels display at the checkout. Since I'm in the market for an Esprit, I told my wife that it was a "sign" from the car gods that I'm suppose to buy one.

Regards,
John D.

I believe the wheels are the original factory ones. Yes, the wing makes the entire car feel unbelievably light.

Do yourself a favor and buy an extended warranty.

It will still probably send you broke!
