I was quite surprised to find this parked in the street, windows down and everything. Very unusual to see one actually being used. Some more iPhone shots.

Oh Man, I really love this car so much. What a truly classic shape. This particular one looks incredible - red with white, and in such good condition. JUST GREAT. So any guess to what year it is? This is a normally aspirated 4 cylinder right? Very first gen Espirit? Thanks for Posting Oliver. NICE NICE SPOT!

Further research leads me to believe that it's an S2. It has Rover SD1 tail lights and the small 'ears' behind the side windows ahead of the fuel cap. It's a 2 litre NA engine. The S2 was introduced in 1978. Another Giugiaro masterpiece.

REally?? That's interesting MGray, as the one you spotted was a TURBO! Why do you like this one more?

I prefer this one over later ones because the original design seemed to get more and more diluted with bigger bumpers, spoilers and an eventual rounding off of the shape! Nothing to do with power, Vinay!
