5 years this week, and loved every second of it, and the 28,000 miles I have done in her. She has opened so many doors and lead to fantastic memories.

[Roger 912]

The Red one which we modified to EFI, owned for 4 1/2 years, driven for just over 2 years.

Green one, standard carburetors, owned for not quite a year.

Will never be without one.

[Dave Freeman]

Whilst I have enjoyed mine I have to say that possibly the best outcome of owning an esprit is the number of new friends/mates I now have. This year I have met more good honest people than over the last ten years or so.

All those new mates and a great car to drive - what more could you ask for.

So true mate.

Red S3 five years.

White SE five years.

Silver Elise 9 months.

It's kinda like i spent ten years in Esprits to pick up a nice gang of mates and then 'job done' and got an Elise!

IMO anyone running an Esprit is a true enthusiast regardless how long they have had it. You don't get an Esprit by

accident, you get an Esprit because you want one and are prepared to run it. I enjoyed my time in Esprits immensely.

[Andjons]

1 year and 2 months. After wanting one for as long as I can remember, I bought it after going to Le Mans last year, and took it over there this year. We nearly made it all the way back home too, but a sudden catastrophic loss of coolant scuppered those hopes on the M20.

[Clark]

Has my S2 now for 3 years, 2 weeks and 2 days! And of course, no interest in selling it any time soon!

[Loose Cannon]

6+ years, still in love.
