Description:

1995 Lotus Esprit Turbo S4
Hand built by Lotus in Hethel, Norfolk, England.
I have title in hand. I have a folder of documentation from parts to service performed.
Limited production exotic. Sticker price in 1995 was $74, 000. This is a mid engine car. Colin Chapman was the founder of Lotus. His philosophy was that a great handling car HAD to be lightweight. That is why they used a 4 cylinder turbo, on a lightweight fiberglass/Kevlar body and aluminum frame. The later introduced V8's lost the handling and where actually slower. This model year had one of the highest horsepower engines as it evolved from the 80's.
This car is sharp! Definitely a show car. Nothing beats the gorgeous timeless lines of this British classic. This car is very fun to drive as it's handling is second to none even by todays standards. Stunning torch red with tan leather interior. Exterior is very bright red that is very glossy. Interior leather is in excellent condition as well. Wheels are excellent as well. Tires have at least 75 percent tread and are in excellent condition. Car starts right up as it should, and runs perfectly. Clutch, brakes, and steering feel good. Shifts smoothly.Turbo spools correctly to proper boost. All in all, the car is in excellent condition and needs nothing. Just a new home. All the photos are of the actual vehicle being sold.
Exhaust pipe was changed to the later V8 style which had rear center exit, along with valence. Expertly done. Looks great. I also have the stock muffler, exhaust tip, and valence which can be easily bolted back on if you wish a stock look that is a little quieter.
All belts where replaced 1500 miles ago including the timing belt. Oil, filter, coolant was all changed as well. Flywheel, and clutch replaced recently. Not while I owned car, but I have the documentation.
