Gold BBS wheels, Michelin Pilot tires, black rear window slats, removable roof panel, Blaupunkt cassette stereo, wood shift knob, power windows, air conditioning, locking filler cap.

Condition

From the Tom Goodlett collection About ten big chips out of the paint on the drivers side of the nose and two chips out of the passengers side Scuffs all along the front of the nose and the plastic bumper, which itself is coming off Numerous scrapes along the bottom of the front lip and a huge drop of dried sap or some such once sticky substance on the lip One headlight isnt closed all the way The rest of the paint is dull and the interior is worn out and smells musty, but the engine bay is clean in comparison to the rest of the car

Market commentary

1987 saw the last of the Giugiaro styled third generation Esprits before the model received a thorough redesign by Peter Stevens and came out later that year. The price paid here was appropriate for a worn out example like this.
