2000 Lotus Esprit V8 SE
Finished in Calypso Red with Full Magnolia Leather Interior. Excellent condition throughout. Full Lotus Service History having only covered 31k miles. Fitted with the Larini Stainless Steel Sports
Exhaust and also just had a new set of tyres fitted. All the usual SE refinements including Air Conditioning, ABS, Remote Central Locking with alarm/immobiliser, CD Player. You have the benefit of the colour coded Removable Roof Panel too and the rear spoiler. This was an extremely hard car to find with this age and spec and it looks stunning in the flesh. It was originally a Lotus Directors car so all usual factory upgrades during his ownership were made. There has been no expense spared with the upkeep of this vehicle, its always garaged and the only reason I'm selling it is I'm spending more time away overseas so she's not getting the use she deserves. Please email me if you require further information or pictures. £19,800.00 ono.

1990 Esprit SE
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

1997 Esprit V8-SE
In Metallic blue with biscuit interior with blue piping. 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

1996 Esprit V8
In the last year alone this car has had over £5500 spent on it from rebuilding of the Gearbox to replacement of all belts and tensioners, servicing and the replacement of a wiring loom following a mouse's expensive meal!

SO... here we go.... This car has been pampered from new. Only 28k on the clock. Looks like it has never seen wet weather (other than for bath time!) and even the sills, door/bonnet shuts and hinges are gleaming. To find an unmolested standard example of one of these "British Supercars" is not an easy task, I should know as I was looking for over a year before I was lucky enough to find this one!

This LOW low mileage car is finished in Norfold Mustard Yellow, (the colour to have!) with 'unmarked' soft grey leather interior. I recently spend £2400 on a "C Service" alone, changing all the belts and pulleys even though it wasnt due, and I also instructed the garage to go over it with a fine tooth comb and rectify ANYTHING that they found to be at fault.

The Air-con works, all the electrics work, the car boosts fantastically and drives faultlessly.

I have a huge stack of receipts for various servicing over the years (the car has even been serviced after covering only a couple of thousand miles!!)

• Full Alpine Stereo system installed including 12 Disc CD Changer
• Fully alarmed and immobilised
• Full Service History (including recent £2400 "C")
• Rebuilt Gearbox (these are the Lotus achilies heel, so this will save you thousands!)
• Lift out Roof
• New Rear Shocks
• Unmarked Leather interior
• Air Conditioning
• Lovely bodywork
• All electrics working (!!)
• More receipts and bills than you can shake a stick at!!!

If you want one of these RARE V8 beasts then this is probably going to be one of the best examples you will find. The car attracts the most positive attention that Ive EVER had on any car, wherever it goes!

These cars can cost many thousands to put right & maintain... well this one has had the hard cash spent on it already. I really have looked after this car and spent a small fortune on making sure that she is the best that she possibly can be. I am absolutely gutted to have to sell it but unfortunately it is just not practical for me anymore. £16,999
