Very happy and excited . . .

Hello TLF friends!

   As some of you know, I've been happily addicted to the Esprit S1 for many years.   Well . . . . I'm not sure how else to say this, therefore I'll let my previous posts do the talking:

Wish fulfilled! 

 

 

 

Finally!  Just the car I was hoping for - it was worth the wait!   I'm very happy with this car.   It's a 1988 U.S. model with Citroen gearbox and Bosch injection, in what is tied for my favorite color combination (black on tan) for a Stevens Esprit -- pretty much exactly what I would have gotten if I could have ordered one new! 

 

 

 

It needs some work, and I have numerous people (Atwell H., John D., more) to thank for their help already in beginning to diagnose its issues . . .

 

 

 

 

Also want to thank TLF member scooterbugg for a very pleasant transaction and accurate representation of the car.    

 

What can I say?   Very happy with the car, I like it a whole lot, and it's very exciting to have a Stevens Esprit after drooling over them for so long! 

 

I'm hoping to have its running issues resolved over the next few weeks.  Also looking for a few parts  Regardless of how long and how much it takes to fix, I'm looking forward to it!  


Cheers,

Tony K.

I do like the deep dish rear wheels on the US spec cars of that era.

Looks lush - superb colour combo.

Love the rear alloys - oh and the spoiler - all the best ones have them

  Well done, glad you have finally got your  hands on one, looks like a really nice car, and as others have said the dished back wheels looks awesome,  All you have to do now is drive and enjoy

Love the color, always wish mine had been black.

Ditch the spoiler, and it will be perfect, the best one's don't have them!
