Here we have a 1978 Lotus Esprit S2, I have owned this car for many years but haven't had a chance to restore it yet. This beauty is complete, not butchered in anyway, original carbs, engine, engine cover, interior, etc. Its been stored in a completely dry garage under its cover. The car needs total restoration but being an S2 will continue to rise in value. If you have been looking for a complete, stock S2 restoration project this is your car. I have a clear title for the car and its ready to go. The engine is not turning and will probably need a rebuild. The seats are shot but the rest of the interior is in shockingly good condition. The car has BRAND NEW tires on it, not junker tires but the stock size BF goodrich tires. I hate storing cars on flat tires so it was worth the investment. They cost over 700 dollars. Please note, I will add interior pictures, and more engine pictures Saturday, the car is stored away from my house. So please don't email requesting pics, just check back Saturday. I will sell this car with no reserve, but have the right to end the auction at anytime as the car is for sale locally. If you buy this car I expect payment via paypal within 12 hours of the auction ending, DO NOT bid on this car if you do not have funds in place, and your wife, girlfriend, banker is cool with it. Also since this is a no reserve auction dont bid this car to 15k and then leave negative feedback based on its condition. That just happened to me on of all things, an accordion.. To make it clear, this car needs restoration, if you wish to come see it, I am in Colorado Springs and welcome an inspection, however once you win the auction, its yours, so please arrange to look at it first if you wish. why am I selling? Well I thought I would never sell this car, but found a 308 GTB I am hot after, so this and my 89 Esprit are probably going to go, I will keep an 85 Esprit. Again, payment is due via paypal no later than 12 hours after auction ends, if you dont agree with that, or understand that please don't bid. Also I will help load it and will even store the car for a while if need be, I can fedex the title to you when auction ends if you need it stored. Please excuse the filtered pics for the auction, I just snapped these in my driveway last year. I will upload detailed pictures Saturday. On Feb-08-14 at 11:38:46 PST, seller added the following information: Today I uploaded some new pictures, the front end (spoiler and bumper) was damaged when I was loading it on the trailer, it rolled forward and hit the winch. I simply duct taped the front spoiler on to keep from loosing it. It can be re fiber glassed. However front bumper needs to be replaced. The blinker lights are fine. The underneath has minor surface rust on the control arms and suspension, frame looks good (see pic) As stated the seats are rough and interior is dirty, I was wrong in my earlier description, the carpet should be replaced. I do have the piece that goes over the steering column. The rear bumper is gone and would need to be replaced. wheels are in good condition and as stated tires are new. All emblems are in place. The tail lights are fine, the black paint around them has worn off though. There is a small crack in the front windshield, it does not interfere with the drivers view just wanted to disclose, all other glass is fine.
