90s V8 ones look crap, too fussy with the bits stuck on, arches, skirts, spoiler etc.

70s S1 is where its at

A look on pistonheads has made me contemplate bankruptcy for one. Stunning car with awesome performance.

What a pussy of a video, the guy's managed to make it sounds shite. The tickover sounds like something's rattling around in the sump.

Who remembers the fifth gear one that they tried to make go 200mph? But it shat its guts out all over the road or something, they ended up canning it. They're veerryyyy fragile aren't they?

I didn't realise they had wood trim though, I could almost forgive it as it is a mid 90's car

It's like a tvr though, tremendous to look at, biblical performance, and wouldn't be the same if you didn't fear for it dying on every trip.

Sounds like my Corsa, only without the biblical performance and it being tremendous to look at...

And anyway, that's what an engine sounds like - when it hasn't gone through an exhaust that's been tuned like a musical instrument.

At what point did I say on the contrary?

I was referring to the reliability.

Adam

V8 is beautiful, the Esprit looked awkward and slightly unproffesional untill the s4s IMO.

I am toying with the idea of a GT3 as its supposed to be one of the most "economical" Esprits to run, from research i have done in the past the cost between running this and an M3 are not dissimilar. However the M3 will break/leak less.

But in this you can drive around knowing you can have a stab at most pre 1998 Ferraris
