Look good, anyone know them? Esprit or Elise

I do like the RR MPW and the Vette, but the Vette seems top $$ for me.

With the Esprit, yes seen it around. Has a few mods, aftermarket rims, kind of a mesh grill surround by the rear plate and interior centre console changed. The B pillar original covers were broken and replaced with Carbon Fibre B Pillars we made These mods can all be changed back to the original look pretty easily if thats the case. Havent had a close look at it other than a drive by. If it goes at that auction price range its good buying considering an earlier carbed Turbo went for $39K on trademe earlier this week.
As with the Elise hopefully the others may know more about that one.

Is that Esprit an SE? If so it's a STEAL!

The Elise... well it's pretty low mileage, and decent spec, but it's ex-overseas so could be a jap or UK import... but I'd be looking VERY carefully at any that's had an aftermarket wing put on.... most Elise owners HATE such additions so it'd be worthwhile seeing how well the previous owner has treated/maintained it.

I saw the Elise in Tauranga about two weeks ago. Sure it was that one as I noticed the wing and thought 'yuk'. Same colour too. It was an older guy driving it though - circa 50 ish?
