Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This black-on-black 1987 Lotus Esprit Turbo HCi features a recently rebuilt engine and a five-speed manual transmission, with a clean title and significant recent mechanical work. However, potential buyers should be aware of noted mileage inconsistencies on the Carfax report and its history of registration in a flood disaster area.
Condition
7
The car is in Very Good condition. While the engine was rebuilt in 2021 and major components like the alternator and starter were replaced in 2024, there are still some minor issues. The dashboard lighting is dim, and the Carfax report notes mileage inconsistencies and registration in a flood disaster area. These factors indicate some wear and potential for future issues, but the car is generally well-maintained with significant recent mechanical work.
