1992 Esprit SE Highwing
I have for sale my Lotus Esprit Highwing SE Chargecooler, which is now reduced to £8,950 due to business expansion, I need to sell this car. She has been a fantastic motor, and has had thosands over the years spent on her. Turbos have been replaced at 75,000 miles. She comes in Monaco White and the paintwork is in very good condition. The mileage on her has just turned 79,000, so very reasonable for her age. She has been in storage upto a year ago, and was being prepared for the trip to Le Mans this year. She has FSH and the last major expense on her was the complete overhaul of the front braking system, which resulted in new pads, calipers, disks and brake lines. Other improvements are a semi-racing sports clutch, and stainless steel straight through sports exhuast. Extras include 3 spare tyres all with good tread, and 2 Lotus alloys. Air conditioning is present but needs regassing. The oil is fully synthetic and has been now for at least 10 years. Sunroof comes as standard and can be removed on those very hot days. Interior is all dark blue leather, which is in pretty good condition, although in some ares it has cracked a little. Immoboliser is preasent along with the CD and radio. This car is very loud and fast, and is not for the faint hearted. An appreciating classic that is now becoming extremly rare. MOT, Tax has a couple of weeks to run then she will be sourn. £8,950

1992 Esprit Turbo SOLD via LEW (in only 4 days)
This is a beautiful 1992 Lotus Esprit Turbo, in stunning, unmarked Jet Black and immaculate cream leather..also unmarked. It has clearly been looked after incredibly well all its life as I'm sure it's one of the very best examples. I looked at about 8 when I was buying and this one stood out strongly from the best of the others. Full service history, I'm the 6th owner, under 59000 miles, all reciepts, serviced about 3000 miles ago. Everything works as it should (sounds odd..but it was the only one I found that did) so mirrors, AC, windows, fans, filler caps, boot, locks etc...except the drivers side cigarette lighter..(haven't even bothered looking at that..dont smoke). The alloys are also in beautiful condition, the balancing weights being the only visible variation from immaculate appart from a small blemish on one wheel about an inch long. The plan was to keep this car for ever, of course, but I just cannot do it financially for all the usual reasons in 'the current times' despite my best efforts. I've only owned it since March, and I'm still loving it but things have changed for me as they have for many. I hope it goes to someone who can keep it long term and keep it in it's current condition. It will be sold with a new MOT and Tax, as these run out in 4 and 2 months, but thats all negotiable I suppose. It is advertised elsewhere so I may sell it through another ad, but meanwhile I'm contactable on 07710 449796. I'm David. Anyone who is seriously interested will be taken for a drive in it, but full insurance required before anyone drives it I'm afraid. It starts, drives, steers and stops perfectly and I'd like to keep it that way! £9,000

1990 Esprit SE SOLD via LEW
A nice, unmolested and unmodified example, currently on SORN, in need of a little work to put it back on the road. 74,500 miles,
Cream leather interior in good condition for year.
Black paint work (original colour), not major issues, some dull lacquer (only on roof) and stone chips (on nose) but NOT in need of re-spray.
Good tyres on original SE spec wheels.
FANTASTIC number plate ‘A 10TCS’ included.
Engine re-build 6000 miles ago (£3200, bottom end replaced).
Extensive history, receipts and MOT’s including service book and owners manual.
Last on the road 18 months ago, garaged since.
V5 present and in my name.
The car has obviously been cared for as is clear in the condition and the history. It does need some work to put it back on the road. The issues I have found are listed below:-
|
• Manifold MAY be leaking (not sure), but some noise in that area (maybe vacuum pump exhaust noise). • O2 sensor needs replacing since Freescan shows slow response and it runs rich for longer than it should after start. O2 sensor error code occasionally flashes up (and clears again within minutes). Typical sensor issue. • Needs new headlamps. Dain holes where blocked! • Needs 1 new fog lamp (can provide a new one). • Electric windows don’t operate, probably fuse or earthing issue, sure that both motors have not failed. • Brakes binding very slightly, as is normal after being laid up. • Needs a radio fitting
Why am I selling? I bought the car to recommision over the summer, but now find I have no time due to work commitments. I also have another Esprit competing for attention.
No silly offers please, the price is already very fair. I may entertain PX against other Lotus’s, especially post ‘88 Esprits’s or parts for the same. Test drive will NOT be possible (it’s on SORN, though you can run the engine and run it through gears on axels stands.). Viewings in evenings/ weekends only. £6,550

The interior is in great condition as well as the body work. The car has never been raced and it is always driven sensibly. It has a full service history, 52,100 miles, mot till Feb 2010, road taxed. Stainless exhaust and all SE requirements. This car has been really well looked after with no expense spared. I have even had my garage floor painted especially for the car. I also bought a parts manual from Lotus and I joined the local Lotus club, I also show it at local car rallies. I will be sad to part with this car as I have always wanted one and it has lived up to my expectations, but unfortunately finances are needed elsewhere, hence the sale. Will consider sensible offers, as I need a quick sale. £14,900

1985 Turbo Esprit SOLD via LEW
Dark blue, red half leather interior, air-con and CD changer. There is a comprehensive history which includes new cambelt, tensioner, clutch, water hoses and carbs, plus head rebuild within the last 500 miles. 30500 miles. The standard clutch hose has been replaced with the steel braided version and the gear change linkage has been upgraded to make the changes more precise. The car is in very good condition for its age inside and out. It has no electrical gremlins and the tyres show very little wear. It starts and runs sweetly and I have always used Mobil 1 fully synthetic oil. It comes with comprehensive history file, plus workshop and parts manuals. In the 11 years and 10,000 miles that I've owned this Lotus, it has proved to be reliable and has been very well looked after. The low mileage is genuine and the history file includes MOTs to back this up. £7,950

Warning!!!!
As the internet gets bigger, more people
are using it to rip people off. This site as been targeted by
some low lifes who are just trying to steal from you. The most
important thing is to make sure any transaction is real. Please
check all bankers drafts with the issuing bank as an old scam
is the fake ones are cleared by your bank, you release the car
and then it's found and the funds are withdrawn. Do not except
any over payments via bankers drafts or cheques, as this is part
of the same scam. We have also heard of a buyer in Northern Ireland
who is making a unrealistic demands on sellers and wasting their
time. We don't advise you deal with this man. Please be careful
and feel free to contact us if you have any concerns about a
buyer for advice.
