History:
Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, the Lotus Esprit has embodied the mid-engined English sports car since 1976. The Turbo version, introduced in the early 1980s, adds genuine liveliness to the marque's light chassis and precise handling, with 215 hp for a car weighing a little over a tonne.

🇫🇷 This example was bought new in 1989 by its current owner from Lotus in France.
📄 An invoice file and an appraisal report come with the car. The mileage is certified.

Condition:
This example is in very good condition and fully original.

🚘 The paint is original and perfectly preserved. The wings, tailgate, roof panel, and OZ wheels are in very good condition. We note a few minor stone chips on the front end. The pop-up headlights work perfectly.

Inside, the original leather is in excellent condition, having recently been treated with conditioner. The dashboard is in good condition. All instrumentation, including the air conditioning, is functional.

⚙️ The turbocharged 4-cylinder is in perfect working order. The clutch is effective, and the 5-speed gearbox operates correctly. The disc brakes, front and rear, respond effectively. The car has just come out of a complete service, including timing belt and water pump replacement. It is therefore ready for the road.

🛞 All 4 tires were replaced in June 2026 at 49,276 km; they are new.
