Why on earth would you buy a Lotus Esprit for Andy

Atleast you saw the light and moved away from

if it came down to two similar aged and km cars and they were both in comparable condition, i would pick the replacement engined car ... but that's just me. I do feel some times people get to hung up about originality, especially if it was a main dealer replacement.

Quality - love this site!

Plus on a thread nature, like the others say, if a car has a new engine fitted by BMW and was run-in correctly and guaranteed then it wouldn't put me off at all

Tough choice, I cant make up my mind on this one.

My friend has an R32 that got a new engine just before he got it. He paid the going rate for a genuine one.

Did make me wonder why it was replaced though.
