I have a friend over here who is interesting in buying a late 80's Lotus Esprit or preferably Esprit Turbo . He wants around 87/88 before they changed shape , so last of the older model basically .
What are the main things to look out for when buying ? Any pitfalls and major problems with them ? Any specialists in UK worth contacting to see prospective cars ?
Any advice wud be most welcome , thxvm in advance .

advice:
1. only consider how awesome it is.
2. ignore everything else.
3. if you have any doubts, start back at 1.

Contrary to popular opinion, I do have mechanical sympathy, I always feel sorry for the cars I drive.
