Equipment
2174/264hp 910S intercooled turbocharged engine, 5-speed, white wheels, Goodyear Eagle GT tires, rear wing, wood dash and shift knob, power windows, air conditioning
Condition
One of 88 Special Edition cars. Represented with new battery and rebuilt alternator. Very good original paint other than a scuff on the rear wing. The left rear indicator light is hanging loose. The driver's seat is worn and cracking a bit but sound. The wood dash is cracking. Tidy underneath. A mostly pretty well presented car for a nearly 30-year-old Lotus, but offered at no reserve and with little in the way of service history.
Market commentary
Esprits have for quite some time flown under the radar with prices well under other comparable exotics. Buyer interest and prices have been on the rise, but there are still deals to be had. This example may very well have some needs, but this price for a mid-engine exotic in such attractive colors is tempting.
