Lotus Esprit V8 Twin Turbo

Lotus Esprit V8 twin-turbo

January 1997 – iconic boomerang dash model

Calypso red with magnolia hide, piped in red

Red carpets

43,350 miles

Standard running gear, no power boost trickery required, its fast enough as it is!

Full gearbox rebuild 4 yrs ago (at Esprit Engineering), change is positive and precise. Clutch and cables also replaced at the same time as the gearbox was done, with the car only having done around 1,000 miles since then!

Present owner for the last 4 years who is a genuine Lotus-nut, has now taken a good car into a different league altogether. Extensively maintained by PNM with recent full suspension and brake upgrade (highly recommended).

It has the very rare and desirable OZ Futuras wheels (all in immaculate condition) with good matching tyres all round (235 17’s at the front 285 18’s at the rear)

The bodywork is in super condition - albeit with some minor stone chips on the front and around the side pods. There is no crazy-paving on the panels. It has been cherished, loved and pampered with a recent ceramic coat detailing.

Not satisfied with just the bodywork being clean, the underside has been attended to with a dry-ice clean and the chassis Dinitrol-treated so the underside is preserved and looking as good as the rest of the car.

It is kept under a car cover in a collection with my other cars, with the battery on continuous trickle charge and it’s a car which is only taken out in the fine weather.

The car comes with lots of invoices, 3x keys and a wonderful V8 soundtrack!

Owned by a Lotus fan (having 3x esprits currently) .. This one needs to go to make room for a sport 350
