1989 LOTUS ESPRIT N/A – SOLD
The Esprit evolved over 45 years and what a stunning car it still is today. Undervalued, they are beautiful-looking cars, and a driver’s delight even over six footers fit well in them. Owned by the same family for over 20 years and driven to us (400 miles) without issue.
It’s hard to believe that Giugiaro designed the Esprit over 45 years ago and was in production for an amazing 30 years finishing as the V8 in 2004.
It was a stunning car well received by the motoring press and enthusiasts alike and its showing in the James Bond movie “The Spy Who Loved Me” put it on the world map especially as it doubled as a submarine in the film!
This is a beautiful non-aspirated example of less than 300 produced and Finished in Midnight blue from new with Magnolia leather it is undoubtedly one of the best-looking Esprits and is still exciting today.
The history file is very comprehensive with invoices dating back to the 1980s to date, mots, stamped service book, handbooks, and of course more recent work carried out in August 23 with new clutch and cambelt service amongst the major service.
Important servicing has been carried out as necessary most years and the last owner enjoyed her for over 20 years.
On the road, the Esprit really impresses with under 1000 kg and a throaty twin-cam engine providing an exciting drive with one of the most balanced chassis of all time.
