As I recall, it was right around '85 that Road & Track picked up a brand new Esprit in Jersey to drive to Newport Beach, CA. They didn't even make it across PA, and the final problem wasn't they're only problem. I think the thing that finally killed it was a terminally clogged cat.
Getting it smogged and keeping it smogged would be a nightmare. Turbo + carbs = ick. |
