Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1979 Lotus Esprit JPS Edition is a rare collector's item, being one of only 100 made, and features a significant powertrain upgrade with a 350 CI V-8 engine and Porsche transaxle. It boasts unique JPS livery, period-correct modifications, and a dash signed by Mario Andretti, making it a standout piece for enthusiasts.
Condition
7
The car is a highly desirable JPS Edition, number 1 of 100, with a significant engine upgrade and desirable period modifications like the Porsche transaxle and BMW brakes. The interior is noted as original, suggesting it may have some wear for its age, and the odometer reading is unverified. While the modifications are impressive, the overall condition implies it's a driver-quality classic needing minor attention rather than a pristine collector's item.
