About this car

This is a 1988 Lotus Esprit Turbo, the wedge-shaped Giugiaro-designed coupe in its turbocharged form, which was the performance flagship of the Esprit range in the late 1980s. It is finished in Monaco white with burgundy leather trim.

The car has covered 66,000 miles. The dealer reports a cam belt service at 65,000 miles and a full engine rebuild carried out about 10,000 miles ago, along with a good deal of history. It has an SE-style rear spoiler fitted, and a modern Bluetooth stereo for phone connection.
