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.

These factors indicate some wear and potential for future issues, but the car is generally well-maintained with significant recent mechanical work.
