About this car

A 1985 Lotus Esprit Turbo, the wedge-shaped Giugiaro design in its turbocharged 2.2-litre form with a five-speed manual gearbox. This one is finished in Glacier Blue Metallic over a full cream leather interior, a period-correct combination.

It has covered 58,867 miles and has been with its current owner for around 25 years. The history shows specialist servicing from 1985 to 1999 with seven stamps, and major works in 2014 and 2022 with invoices totalling £14,581. The body is described as original apart from paint to the front bumper.

First registered on 25 March 1985, it comes with a V5 and has an MOT to November 2025 according to the page. The asking price is stated as subject to £14,500 of engine works, so a buyer should confirm exactly what that covers.
