1981 Lotus Esprit S2.2
This a very rare Esprit with only 88 ever made between 1980-1981 the S2.2 has the sharp retro looks of the series 2 but has the more powerful 2.2 engine and most importantly it has a fully galvanised chassis. This car has only covered just over 20,000 miles and has various old MOT certificates and some service history to back it up . The car has recently had a overhaul including engine build, all belts, brakes ,oil cooler,water pump and various other parts have been replaced with a fresh MOT. The black paintwork is in good condition for the year of the vehicle and the interior is excellent with cream leather seats and brown marcasite dash board. The beige thick pile carpet is also very good. The Esprit still has the original handbook/service wallet with some stamps and various other bills, receipts and old MOT's. Also the car still has its original black tonneau engine compartment cover. These cars are still rising in value and this makes a great investment for someone who wants a real true original example, viewing is essential. £10,995.

1993 Lotus Esprit S4
Calypso Red with Magnolia Hide. Known community car purchased from Anthony 'Kimbers' Kimberley (son of the Lotus CEO, and forum moderator of LEF) who had been servicing the car at the Lotus factory.

Since taking over in 2008 I have continued Anthony's meticulous service routines at PNM Engineering (Merseyside) and Murray Lotus (Edinburgh), extending the cosmetic refurbishment to the leather and paintwork. Substantial but subtle upgrading to sound system enables DAB digital radio and i-Pod playability including track info as well as normal CD operation FM/AM radio, video and bluetooth. The unit also charges i-Phones and reverts to a buttonless black gloss single-DIN panel when not in use.

88644 chassis miles, full engine rebuild at 81481 miles in Feb' 2011. Call James for a frank and honest chat or for a detailed breakdown of service history by email. Priced to sell at £14,000 No Offers.

Also included in sale: box of spare parts, car cover, i-Pod and service history with photos and original registration: L816PCL. Showing that the car was probably built on the same day as the 'Top Gear S4 - L813PCL', as driven by Clarkson.

1999 Lotus Esprit Sport 350
The car was acquired in November 2004 pity from a Lotus dealer in the UK and then transferred to Germany. Here the car was fully restored technically in all areas for more than 40.000 EURO between 2006-2009. This work was carried out by Lotus Esprit specialist R&B in Wiesbaden, Germany. The work has all been documented with pictures and all bills are available. The car was not changed or tuned specifically but just upgraded in many parts over the original standard. The engine has only run 5000 miles since the rebuild. The total mileage is 32.000. The engine now produces some 312kW without intercoolers or chip tuning. All moving parts of the suspension have been replaced or re-galvanized and there are new aluminum adjustable shocks. I am the third owner. The cars has been maintained in pristine condition inside and out and the offer is the rare opportunity to acquire a fully restored version of the ultimate Sport 350 evolution of the Esprit. €68,000

1988 Lotus Esprit HC
I have owned this car for nearly four years. Have not had many chances to take out in last year, so time for someone else to enjoy this true British sports car. Comes with full service history handbook, had the big ‘C’ service at Christopher Neil’s 4500k ago Inc all belts, fluids etc and new clutch fitted (invoice for £1700.00) and interim service 350 miles ago oil, filter etc. The car has covered approx 79,000 miles although the clock was changed in 2005 (at approx 74,000) due to damage. A new recon clock showing approx29,000 was fitted, now showing 34,227. I have the invoice for the clock change and hope this makes sense. Fitted with OZ Alloy Wheels in mint condition with near new tyres. There will be a new full 12 months MOT and six months tax. The car runs and sounds (sports exhaust fitted) as good as you’re going to get for a 20 year old sports car. Calypso Red Bodywork (in great condition) with Magnolia leather ‘a real head turner’. This is the non turbo version so you get to enjoy the lotus without the expensive turbo problems.Although when I acquired car it was mechanically sound and in good condition, I have over the years improved/changed the following:

Reconalised all the magnolia leather throughout cockpit
Inc seats (with black piping)
New Full black carpet kit
New head lining Inc rear panel
New headlamps Inc bulbs (all four)
New front fog lamps
New secondary slave cylinder and fitted new hose
New rear brake pads
New alpine stereo and speakers
New door handles
New dash switches
Stainless kick plates
Cat 1 alarm (cheaper insurance) Inc remote central locking
New front cooling fan
Various other little bits and lots of TLC

I have all the paperwork with car including receipt for all of the above along with a service notes manual. Insurance is reasonable I paid classic line Insurance £150.00 with a 1500 mile limit and car garaged. I also have an agreed valuation certificate with them for £12,000 which indicates the great condition of this car. £9,950
