What's wrong with this GS?

[GeoffCapes]

I love Esprits. Was it the V8 S that had the spoiler on the back?

The only spoiler in history that didn't compromise the rear view!

Yes, but it look terrible which is why I think I liked the GT without the spoiler........I had the spoiler from the very rare Sport 300 on mine.



But what I always wanted was the Sport 350 but these are rare and going up in price if you can find one.

Do it Andy, you know it makes sense.

I know, a mate and I have been considering buying one between us but timing is wrong at the moment

Neither are the model I was thinking of. I'm thinking on the roof mounted one. I'll try and find a pic.

These are the others...There was the terrible scaffold one in blue....The S4 is the red one side veiw with the spoiler on the roof bit....The other red is the V8 with spoiler.

That's the one! (The bottom one).

It's such a nice shape it doesn't need a spoiler

Back on topic the black GS is no longer listed on Pistonheads or Autotrader - sold?

It is according to post 42.

Thats the 2.2 4 cylinder S4....Had 264 bhp which isn't much by today's standards but still a 0-60 in 4.7 secs. The purists will always tell you the best Esprit was the S4S which had 300 bhp pushing out of the 2.2 engine........

Here's a good little guide to all Esprits..
