    A good Esprit is a joy. A bad one is a nightmare

    That's one car you should avoid. It would snap in half even before you got it airborne.

    I think a low mileage, manual 996 or 997 coupe with all the maintenance up to date, non chinese tyres and Australian delivery would be the sweet spot for you.

    A good 3.0 or 3.2 Mondial in excellent condition would be fun, but finding one better than Greg's mechanically would be a challenge.

    You might find a rubbish 360 in that price range, best to leave that alone unless you're prepared to sink another $50,000 into making it right mechanically.

    Yep, a $90k Mondial will need $20k thrown at it. $3.5k just for new tyres. Then all the hoses, remember the condition of these Carl?

    Yup. The outwardly ok looking header tank is a classic.

    People forget these are over 40 years old. Nothing lasts forever.

    By the way, I went through your invoice again and cross referenced the factory manual. You overcharged me by about $10k. Luckily I’m more than happy to overpay :) Image Unavailable, Please Login

    $10K is the sweet spot that captains of industry don't notice :D

    The throttle bodies would be a great mod. Paint the bumpers black and it’ll look half decent again. The header tank has obviously rusted through, an easy fix but it was a bit tricky finding one when Carl replaced mine. But OMFG, that dashboard …..

    HAGI observed a solid market in classic cars during October, with the HAGI Top Index increasing by 0.85% month-over-month, and all other marques performing better, except for classic Lamborghini which experienced a decline of 2.98% according to the HAGI LPS Index.

    Year-to-date performance remained negative for the Top Index, Ferrari, Porsche, and Lamborghini, while BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and the Top Ex P&F (Porsche and Ferrari removed) have been posting gains.
