just bought an '88 Esprit. have been hunting for a while (2-3 years) and was originally headed for an Elise, but i loved the Esprit growing up and this one was just too good to pass:

He originally tried to sell it on ebay a few times, but it never went thru. pictures just dont do it justice; its in so much better condition than i originally thought by looking at the auction (well, the interior still needs alot of love):
