The Esprit evolved through various incarnations culminating in the introduction of this V8 models in the mid 1990’s.

This limited number highlights the exclusivity of owning such a distinguished piece of British motoring history.
This surprisingly well equipped Esprit has spent a lot of its life being professionally stored hence the very sensible mileage on the car. During its life the car has seen a dealer approved speedo replacement that is fully documented and the advertised mileage is the complete mileage of the vehicle. Included in the very well documented history the car is presented with the original documentation, including the owner’s manual and service book. Serious inquiries only please for this stunning car.
