Description
When you look at this car, you know Lotus got it right - one of the world’s most beautifully designed cars, never to be repeated! We are very pleased to bring to market this fantastic example of a Lotus Esprit finished in Calypso red with black and magnolia leather and black carpets.
Simply fantastic! The history is equally as impressive as it goes back to very beginning and details most of its owners through time with a breakdown of their details and what maintenance they carried out - very impressive and lovely to see.
This information tells us that the Lotus was sold new on 1/1/1983 to a Mr Burke of Dudley, who owned a company called Allsop & Burke, and was supplied by London Sports Car Centre Ltd of Edgware.
In fact it still has their plates on, nice! Mr Burke kept the Esprit until April 1986 when it was bought by a Mr Gerrard from C&J Wines of St.
Helens, and on it goes.
The attention to detail with all the owner information is beyond good, it needs to be seen to be believed,...
