JNW3 Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 Already been discussed on here I think, this G was a bit of a mismatch with a new engine, non original paint colour and Stevens seat and interior retrim for starters but it still made fairly decent money yesterday for a non original car IMHO 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Potter Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 UK Sportscars have a black X180 turbo up for 35k! Looks nice paint and interior but engine bay unloved and something weird where the header tank should be. don’t think I’ve seen a Stevens carb turbo above 25k before.

What’s going on with that header tank? I quite like the red leather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

910Esprit Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 There are appears to be a roughly cut hole to gain access to the top of the left petrol tank. Should that be there? The engine bay photographs and presentation are a little disappointing for a car at this pricepoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Chillidoggy Posted April 13 Gold FFM Report Share Posted April 13 Not sure, if it’s supposed to be there, but there’s no hole like that on my car. Also, the hose to the expansion tank appears to be disconnected. Quote Margate Exotics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giniw Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 I don't understand its shape either. As for the hole I don't have it either on the S4s, and I have always wondered why there is this boss there, with no evident purpose. Must have been useful on a previous iteration of the Esprit?

DaKa Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 Wow, strong money. Coincidence that odometer mileage 51,000 kms and price EUR 44,950 both convert to circa 39,100.

stephenwhyte Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 I love these so called motoring “journalists” with all that knowledge they have......you’d have thought they would’ve remembered in their summary, arguably the biggest seller of the range - the Turbo Esprit! And is it possible to read an article these days, without it containing a typo?! My pet hate.....especially in the world of predictive text and spell check. Lazy proofing....and the link at the bottom of their piece doesn’t work either - words fail me.😤 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laziness isn't just restricted to poor spelling, grammar, and incorrect facts, but also the recycling and perpetuation of clichéd conjecture and opinion. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 As usual these so-called journalists have many things wrong, such as weight, tire-dimensions and what not. On to the article in the same webpage, there's a comparison between a Testarossa, a 928S4, a Stevens Esprit Turbo SE, an Aston Vantage. Equally full of errors, making the usual dogmas. Sigh...

Jacques Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 For example: out of how many articles, do the so-called journalists claim, that the Stevens Esprit is made of glassfiber (only)?

This is an original car, delivered in the Netherlands, with only two owners. The second and last owner had already owned the Esprit since 1993 and has always taken excellent care of it. It has never been driven in the winter (salt) and the Esprit has always been inside a garage. Both the interior and exterior are in top condition. The Esprit comes in the original and rare color Steel Blue (A59) - the number of Esprits worldwide in this color can be counted on one hand. The interior is completely in blue-gray leather, with a wooden instrument panel. In short, a legendary sports car in as good as new condition. Luckily I have my new GT 410 Sport IPS to be consoled........🙂 https://vanderkooisportscars.nl/aanbod/?carnr=14331252-AWD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
