Dan,
Concerning the Pre-Turbo Esprit,
Parts are not too hard to come by ( Dealer, Dave Bean)
Parts are VERY expensive: you've had it easy with the Jag.
You can get good upgrades. Webers, Turbo Suspension, etc.
I enjoyed my time behind the wheel of a modified pre-turbo model, plus
it's way high on the cool scale.
It was kind of noisy, and the car shook a lot, but what is new about that?
Oh, I hated the shifter. It wandered and was reminiscent of a VW, but then
I'm used to shifters that are directly connected to the transmission.
Does this help? Maybe you should go to a few shows, drive a few cars, talk
to some Lotus die-hards.
