Not even restored to “original” Spec. Is this insanity?

No, you are not alone.

They are just trying their luck and hoping some fool will come along.

Completely barmy.

You'd need your head examined buying that when an almost identical looking, 10 years younger and all-round better car - the S3 N/A - can be bought for a fraction of the price.

It was up at another dealer at POA at the end of last year.
I was interested but not enough to play the POA game.
I’d guess this dealer bought it and slapped a chunk on it.

The Esprit has dropped to 75k right now.

If this is still not in line with your savings just get yourself into "lots of trouble" the french way:

Half the horsepower but double the passenger seats.
