    August Octane (UK) has a GREAT article comparing a Urraco, Pantera, 308GTS, Bora and a Lotus Esprit. In typical Brit fashion its a very well done, slick mag with lots 'o pics and tons of articles. I may have to subscribe. I found a copy on ebay. Haven't read it yet, wanted to get the post out.

    Barnes and Noble booksellers carries it here in the DFW area. Nice article, although I'm a bit surprised they used the Bora and not the Merak in the comparison. They drug out the little-engined Esprit and put it against the V8s :D

    If it was the Turbo Esprit, I'll make a stab at who won......

    Saw a pearl Esprit with tan interior at a dealership back in the late 80s or early 90s, beautiful car, but I always thought a bit overpriced for a four banger. Now, the current Esprits with a V8….

    Called several area book sellers here and no one carried it, so I tried and got lucky finding a copy on ebay.
