• One of Lotus’ most recognisable and coveted silhouettes, penned by legendary designer, Giorgetto Giugiaro, the evolved Series 3 Esprit debuted in April 1981
• Powered by a 2.2-litre (2,174cc) Lotus Type 912 naturally aspirated inline-4 fuelled through twin Dell’Orto DHLA 45E carburettors, this Esprit offers 160bhp at 6,500rpm and 160lb ft of torque through a 5-speed manual transaxle. 
• The 1982 example seen here is an incredibly rare opportunity, believed to be one of three produced in the rare shade of Altair Green (A14), a colour that was known to be a personal favourite of the Chapman family and high-ranking Lotus executives  at the time
• They were often trimmed in the distinctive Avocado Green or 'Lush Undergrowth' full-leather and velour interior creating a monochromatic green supercar configuration 
• This example was originally allocated to Mr T Entright, a former board member of Lotus
• Displaying just 23,048 miles, this is an interesting opportunity to acquire a ‘barn find’ Esprit
• We are informed that this example was laid up in the early 1990s and dry stored ever since, still wearing its period tyres
• Acquired by the current owner, an avid Esprit enthusiast - this car being his sixth, the plan was always to return this car to its former glory
• Accompanied by its spare wheel, jack and tool kit as well as the handbook, older receipts and the original service book stamped up to the point the car was last used 
• A rare opportunity to acquire a true survivor with Lotus company provenance in an incredibly rare colour combination.
