Our Price

You won't find another one like this one!  It's quick even by today's standards and the renowned Lotus handling will put a smile on your face everytime you hit the road.  Beautiful black exterior with light tan interior, this is an unmolested example with 48,000 miles and only two owners since new.  All books, receipts and records since 1997 are being made available with the car.

This classic British sports car has just gone through a one year restoration to get it as close as possible to it's original showroom splendor. Engine purrs, transmission shifts like butter with no grinding, ice cold air, no fluid or oil leaks and all electrical systems operate as designed.  The paint shines like new with only a few very minor imperfections one would expect to find on a 16 year old car. The car has no collision history and has had no fiberglass or chassis damage.

There is a lot more that was done to the car during the restoration all of which is detailed below.

We sincerely believe that it would be almost impossible to find another 16 year old Esprit that is in better mechanical condition. This car needs nothing and we would not hesitate to drive it anywhere in the country.

If you're looking for a reliable Esprit in great condition, this car is truly a must see!
