Turbo was rebuilt at 67,000 by magestic turbo. New custom made carpet was intalled a year or so ago,perfect. New headliner was installed at the same time.(a normal espirt problem,sorted!) New leather below front windsheild installed also.(a normal esprit problem,sorted!) The interior work was done by a guy that has done cars in Hot Rod ect.(He is the best,period) The engine runs as it should,gears all shift smooth and reverse works as it should.(you have to pull up on the shifter for reverse!) The air conditioner has never worked,needs recharging im sure. It has 70,000 original miles,I have only put 3,000 since ive owned the car. The owners manual has the orignal service documents from long beach california stamped by the dealership,I'll include pictures of that.(very cool!) I also include parts manual and service manual,very expensive if purchased separately. Besides the air conditioner,the relay for the bright lights doesnt work,front headlights only work on dim.(You have to get that relay from England,I'll include the guys in Atlanta,GA phone number,they can get it. This car drives straight and perfect. The turbo is strong and correct,but I stay out of it and always have,this thing has been babied,and I have continued that tradition. The seats are way above average for this year model. This is the last true lotus,GMC bought lotus in 1989 and promptly put a trans-am steering wheel in the cars,really a ugly move,but they had to have an air bag I guess. The original MOMO is so nice,one of the nicest things about driving the car. As far as bang for the buck,this thing has been reliable and a joy to own. I just need an every day driver for now,and I will use this sale for that purpose. THANKS FOR LOOKING,I HATE TO SEE THIS ONE GO!
