Market commentary

It is quite possible that the interior material used in these early Esprits is the most unattractive stuff ever installed in a motorcar. It makes coffin lining velvets and velours inviting by comparison. The price for the Esprit is about right, the most performance and technology for money on todays market as well as the car most likely to make your mechanic light candles of gratitude.
