Here is a car ready for a restoration or drive as is, It is a 1987 Lotus Esprit Turbo and if you Know anything about these cars you Know they handle great, This car is no exception, it is Fast! it does need little things such as Valve cover gasket or torqued, also needs Drvs head light module as it goes up fine but sometines needs hand cranked down, also the emergency brake cable needs work, the front bonnet (hood) cover has weak glass by Drivers hinge and can be reiforced by a bit of resin, The car runs stops as it should. The interior is original and could use refreshing, but all in all it is usable as is, also I want to be honest about the car from the start so ask before bidding, The car is a rare A22 color and was sold new in Paris to a man from Austria, who brought the car to USA Via Ca. the last owner told me it was overhauled as he was going to restore the car but I have no paper on this but motor is clean, I am only selling to get a 4X4 as here in Wy this is not the car to have. Please remember this is a 24 year old car and comes with NO warranty expressed , written or implied, please ask Q's as this is a legal contract, I recommend trailering the car as it will have NO plates on it and it is a Old school Exotic and parts are probably going to need to be ordered if something was to go wrong, I just took the car for a drive in the mountains and it drove great. just want to make sure every one is safein case a LONG trip was in your head. Remember this care is Rare and fast, Only 236 made in 1987, own a piece of exotic car history.The vin is non US and is not recognized by ebays system I included pictures of the vin. Again this is a 1987 not a 1980, had to list it that way because of Vin. Thanks, good luck and have fun. Remember you are bidding to own not to look and haggle. 500.00 deposit due within 24 hours. non refundable. Thanks On Apr-27-11 at 13:52:24 PDT, seller added the following information: * Sorry for the confusion the car is a 1985 Lotus Esprit , The mix up was with the Wife, we read the title wrong, sorry for this mistake if you would like to cancel your bid please feel free. Sorry for the confusion, The Car is a 1985 car it was Hand made and is in good shape for a 26 year old car. Again the Title : 1985 Lotus Esprit Turbo, I have had alot of interest in this car and if someone has Q's Please e-mail me through the ebay mail and I will respond ASAP. Thanks again!On Apr-27-11 at 14:10:14 PDT, seller added the following information: O.K, I have been asked, "What does the year being an '85 do to the value of this Exotic? ", GOOD NEWS! it makes it worth a bit more, I am asking below NADA avg retail, The car books at avg. approx $11,000.00 to good @ $21,000.00 the Top end does not reflect a "100" car or "Trailer Queen", and in my opinion the car is somewhere in-between these two numbers, so here is your chance to own your very own Exotic Car at a Great price, The car will come with a Lotus book, Giving history and Number made etc. on this car. If you have Questions on the genuine import of this car see the title check it states it WAS imported and is exempt from emissions, It sold NEW in Paris, and was sent to Austria, when the owner came to USA and brought the car with him. It is a good looking car and gets plenty of attention wherever it goes, its a piece of history! Good luck!!On Apr-30-11 at 07:02:30 PDT, seller added the following information: I have had a HUGE response on this Car, It is a running car, but the license plates are MY Veteran Plates and stay with me...Again They are MY VERERAN SERVICE plates and stay with me. I know you understand, So car will not be able to be driven home, I reccommend trailering as it is an Exotic and if anything should happen parts cannot be bought at K-Mart it is NOT a CHEVY, also this car is a 1985 Lotus Esprit TURBO 4 Cyl. it is a 5 spd. and is FAST! The car Is for sale Locally, and I have TWO buyers Coming this Weekend to look at Car, If it sells Locally the auction Will end, Without Notice. Thanks On May-02-11 at 13:51:40 PDT, seller added the following information: Well, I lowered the BIN and the reserve, as My Truck just died and I need to buy a practical vehicle, The reserve is close and someone is very close to owning a Exotic car, The car Is waiting for its new owner, Bid to win The reserve is closer than you think, I may just lower it to reserve met and see who wins this car. please ask any questions and have fun.On May-03-11 at 05:52:53 PDT, seller added the following information: I have decided to let car go, So if you have been thinking on this car Now is the time to bid as it will sell on next bid. I need to get my truck running /replaced so I have decided that this car has to go, someone will get a great deal on a Super Exotic car. Hate to let it go so cheap , But I guess thats the way it goes. Good luck and Bid to win!!
