Lotus Isuzu (1990)
for sale

Price: US $999.99

Description:


VERY RARE COLLECTOR CAR, WITH HANDLING BY LOTUS FOR ISUZU, THIS IS ONE OF THE TOP 10 FORGOTTEN SPORTS CAR IN THE WORLD, AND IT IS VERY RARE. ONLY FEW SURVIVED TO THIS DAY.
Designed by the revolutionary Italian legend Giorgetto Giugiaro, the one behind greats like the Lotus Esprit, Ferrari 250 GT and many others, His concept, called the Ace of Clubs, was angular and sleek at the same time, very sporty, and thoroughly modern. The original Impulse was designed in Italy, built in Japan, backed by an American auto giant, and fettled with by the Brits – an absolute world product. The Impulse looked like a rocket ship.
This second-generation, 1990 Impulse XS, lacks the luster of its angular forefather, but with the memorable ‘Handling by Lotus’ package, it’s still quite a rare bird. The Impulse got the legendary rare Lotus Elan M100 1.6L L4 DOHC 16V engine and Lotus-tuned suspension package with softer springs, stiffer shocks and revised sway bars.
This car has had 1 owner for the last 12 years and it's
in driving condition
with as little as new tires, battery and oil change. Some things need to be changed or tuned, after it's been parked for the last 2-3 years:- it needs new tires (they have thread left but are old)- needs oil and filter change- needs new battery, although the current one may still hold some charge- needs a brake check (MAYBE new pads and bleeding?)- it has some rust spots (seen in pictures)- AC needs to be checked and eventually charged- Driver-side inside door handle and lock are broken and need to be fixed- dashboard is cracked, by sun heat.- carpet, passenger seat and ceiling cloth have some stains - paint has some blemishes and the clear coat is peeling off in some places.- radio antenna is broken
The engine was replaced with a rebuilt one and has less than 5, 000 miles on it
.Clean title, never been in accident.
The car belonged to my brother, who had a stroke 3 years ago, and always hoped he's going to recover to drive it again. Now, it's pretty clear he's not going to be able to and, with a medical debt of over $80, 000,
all the proceeds from this sale will go towards medical bills
.
Please only serious buyer bid,
bid generously
, and the highest bidder will get this rare car in his collection, whether he gets it to drive it many more miles, restore it, or as spare parts for other restoration/maintenance.
More picture are available upon request and we're happy to respond to any questions you may have prior to bidding .
Thanks for your interest!
