Ah, I was confused. Given the seller's attitude I'm astounded that he/she has had any bids.

Looks like an honest original example from the pictures, definitely worth a view I would say.

I think the owner may be on TLF. I remember someone's signature stating he has (had?) an active suspension Esprit.

The wheels would probably look better on a Ferrari or Porsche though.

An Esprit ^^
(I spotted it too, but he actually states in the auction description that he has just bought the Esprit and can only keep one — what a mistake!)

Daft thing is; they've gone to a lot of trouble to scribble out the registration but left it on the tax disc. H780AEW since you ask. Only 4,000 miles in the last 12 years...
