1978 Lotus Esprit S1

Full Restoration Body and Chassis no expense spared.

Restoration back to chassis and rebuilt with new or reconditioned parts.
Full photographic evidence.
Monaco white paint.
Up rated radiator with 3 fans (never had a problem with over heating sitting in traffic on a hot summers day).
All electrics function correctly no problems (As new loom fitted).
Up rated suspension.
Stainless steel manifold & exhaust.
Re conditioned brake callipers all round.
New clutch, water pump, petrol pump, all new poly brushes.
Re conditioned steering rack.

I've owed the car for the last 5 years, first 3 yrs being restored. MOT until April next year. Both 2009 & 2010 MOT's straight passes.
I've set the price at what I believe to be the right price, one was recently advertised at £29,995. I don't claim the car to be concourse but a truly beautiful example of an S1. Only thing missing is the tartan interior, but then the price would be an extra £10,000.
I have spent £££££ on the Lotus and have all the bills and photo's to prove.
If the car sells, the person who buys it won't be disappointed.
Interior all new black leather and new Black carpets.

Stunning example, rare, appreciating and truly gorgeous!

Please no derisory offers, A very reluctant sale.

More photos can be supplied on request.

Lotus : Lotus Esprit S1


 
That looks amazing, simply amazing.

Still such a stunning shape. I saw a few at the weekend and the S1 has all of the drama of the later cars while being much more pure and uncluttered.

Good luck with the sale.
