Seeking S1/S2 within U.S.

[Sandwiches? 3]

Hello Everyone,

I've been looking for an S1/S2 Esprit (S1 preferred) within the United States for several months now, with no luck. I decided this forum might be a good place to ask for a helping hand. Should anyone happen to find a listing, leads, or even an Esprit in their back yard, I would be super grateful if you could send them my way. Reputable listing website recommendations are also welcome, most of what I find turn out to be fraudulent listings. For anyone interested, I've outlined what I'm looking for below. Again, grateful for any help, Thanks!

 

Ideally looking for:

• S1 or S2 Esprit (S1 preferred)
• Located in the U.S. (Looking to avoid the costs/headaches associated with importing)
• Asking price below $15,000
• Runs without catching on fire or requires a sensible amount of work to get it there
• Reasonably complete or better (not missing any major components)
• Relatively, uh... unmolested, for lack of a better word. Not beyond bringing back to an original state if required.
• Bonus points if it comes with that sweet/ridiculous tartan interior (But by no means a requirement)

If a listing doesn't quite meet all the criteria, I'm still be interested in hearing about it. I understand my budget for acquisition limits how discerning I can be, nor do I expect to obtain an esprit of museum/just restored quality. The only hard requirement is it being an S1/S2, within the United States...and the whole not catching on fire thing...that seems kinda important.
