Adult owned, adult driven Lotus Esprit. This car drives beautifully with immediate turn in, unparalleled balance, loads of grip, strong Brembo brakes and endless power through low RPM to the screaming redline from the 3.5 liter flat-crank twin-turbo V8 engine. All service is up to date with records to prove it. 38,300 miles. This car drives like new. It has enough miles on it that anything that could go wrong has already gone wrong and been replaced. Beware the ultra-low mileage garage queens that haven't been shaken down. This car is ready to drive anywhere. Everywhere you go heads will turn, smiles will flash, thumbs will go up and crowds will form. According to Lotus Cars NA this is 1 of 95 cars that made it to America in 1998. It is a rare, unique driving experience that you will not get with any other car. If you want to stand out from the crowd of Porsches and Corvettes at the price of a new Camry, this is the car for you. Collector cars have outperformed the stock market over the last 15 years - this is an investment that is only going to appreciate in value. It is eligible for collector/exotic agreed value insurance.Some more interesting highlights:-UN1 transmission - upgraded to 500+ whp Holloway unit with revised 1st and 2nd gear ratios.-New transmission mounts -"C" service in October, 2015 - includes the expensive timing belt service-New injectors, plugs, wires, filters in May 2016-Bulkhead modification - no clunks or rattles-Custom valved Koni coilovers-New bushings front and rear-OZ Racing 'Saturn Plus' 6-spoke monobloc wheels - these are rare, extremely strong and light Lotus OEM wheelsThe interior is absolutely beautiful.

This car is solid, reliable, and has had everything done to it. I have spared no expense maintaining and caring for this car. I am willing to bring this car anywhere locally for a pre-purchase inspection. I am more than happy to show the car using Facetime or in person. NO RESERVE - winning bid takes the car.
