Description

It appears that this Lotus was owned by a Lotus Director for the first year of its life and was then sold to Mr B Quest on 7 th July 1999 by Kings Lotus, Warwick.

Presented in Titanium Grey with contrasting Terracotta upholstery, this fantastic Lotus has been well serviced and looked after during its lifespan and the 80,000 miles it has covered.

With 19 stamps in the service booklet and a regular cambelt change in 2005, 2013 and 2019.

Simply no expense has been spared on the upkeep of this British sports car.

Most recently, the Turbos have been overhauled to the sum of £3,000 and before that a suspension overhaul at Esprit Engineering at a cost of £3,436.

The V8 Twin Turbo Esprit is the one to have and the ultimate driver’s car, with Lotus’ famous suspension set ups and a thunderous V8 soundtrack behind your head, supplemented by the ‘woosh’ of two Garrett Turbochargers spooling up.

This is the epitome of a driver’s car, reportedly producing 450 horsepower driving the rear wheels...
