No, a 1989 Esprit SE, or it would be if I put the damned thing back
together. I stripped and rebuilt the engine, just need to put the
shot blasted and painted tanks back in, redo the pipework and some of
the electrics, put the last few bits of engine back together and get
the engine back in. That should take me about another 3 years given
my rate of work.
Also, according to google, the landy *is* longer than the esprit by
about 20cm, not so sure about that but it's in no state to be measured
again, I measured it about 3 years ago when I was house hunting. It's
certainly wider though, the landy is about 7 cm narrower than the
esprit, and the pinz is about 3cm narrower than the landy but about
30cm longer. At the moment, the pinz is about 10cm shorter than usual
due to me removing the front chassis members, differential and axle.
