For whatever reason that's been for sale for a long while (not suggesting anything, just pointing it out). I personally would not use Ebay to buy such a potentially expensive car without thorough checks first. Why not join the Lotus Esprit Forum, there are a couple of members there selling S4s that have a known history (inc a red one like this)

LC is spot on. The LEF is an excellent source for purchasing or learning about Esprits. People there are a friendly bunch and if there is anything to know about an Esprit, someone there will have the experience to share.
An Esprit can be a great car to own as long as the owner takes the time and effort to become knowledgable about their car. Youi have to be an "enthusiast" and perhaps a bit of a nut case, ( I say that in a nice way), to own one. Those that do make the effort are usually rewarded with a great driving experience.
