This stunning Lotus Esprit was registered in 1996 and is in excellent condition. It benefits from a full engine rebuild in 2015 and a recent overhaul of the air conditioning system. It is priced at £39,995.
Since its launch in 1976, the Lotus Esprit has turned countless heads and wowed car enthusiasts with its iconic styling, mid-engine configuration and great performance and handling.
Over the years, there have been many variants of the Esprit, and the pinnacle of development came with this, the Esprit V8. For this model, Lotus replaced the 4 cylinder engines previously used, with a twin turbocharged, 3.5 litre V8 engine. This produced 350 bhp and when combined with a car that weighed only 1,400 kg, ensured instant supercar status and performance.
The red paintwork is in great condition and is complemented by a cream leather interior. The specification includes alloy wheels, a walnut dashboard, electric windows, air conditioning, power steering and a Tracker has been fitted as well.
This Esprit has an excellent service history, including a replacement of its cambelts last year. It will be supplied to its new owner serviced and fully checked over in our workshop – we have been specialising in Lotus for nearly 20 years.
