It looks great.
But I wouldn't want to use an existing Esprit to build one nor pay £430,000+ for one. Would anyone actually ever buy one?

Not a fan of the styling at all and this doesn't make much sense to me, but I guess it will have the rarity going for it. Just hope you won't need to get it serviced down the line after Encore has long gone out of business.

Geeze, I can't imagine the talent and investment it takes to build something like this, to sell, how many units?

Limited edition - just 50 are planned.

Well they say they are using off the shelf parts so any garage capable of servicing an Esprit should be able to service it.

I like it, but would have preferred it to be S2 based, as I never liked the little bib spoiler.
That lower area on S2 onwards looked way more natural to me.

JayEmm has a review of this out today.
It's grown on me a bit more but I still don't think I would like to take a real Esprit off the road for this and I can think of better cars, including Lotus, to spend £430,000 on.
