1989 Lotus Esprit Turbo SE X180 // 2.2 Turbocharged // PX swap If like me you were born in the 80&039;s then by the time you started taking an interest in cars, A Lotus Esprit, Ferrari 348 or a Porsche 964 is what your dreams were made of.. The Esprit Turbo SE is how ever rarer with Only 563 produced in a 2 year production window and only 30 remain on the road today This very nice example has covered 73,000 miles in 36 years. The previous owner upgraded the brakes to Four Pot PWM front brakes and grooves discs. Rear grooved disks and later Brembo rear caliper&039;s with stainless hoses throughout. LED Headlights upgraded Polly bushed Wheels spacers New Ali rad Stainless exhaust (Playing a beautiful note) Oil cooler upgraded and new oil lines front to back ECU Upgrade Just sailed through her MOT with the previous owner. She also has an extensive history folder including original spec sheet, full stamp book, every MOT and tax disk from back in the day and lots of receipts . Private plate has been with he vehicle since 2004 and is included in the sale.. The charge-cooled SE Esprit derivative was the most powerful variant with the most accelerative power and the fastest-selling Esprit to date, with 264bhp and 0-6mph in under 5 seconds. From its formal unveiling on 10 May 1989 to the close of its debut year, the 160mph Lotus Esprit Turbo SE recorded production of 563 units. This figure handsomely exceeds the production level of any previous Esprit, save that of the S1 in 1977, and then there were no alternative Esprit models to distract customers. The SE did embrace a number of standard items of proven showroom appeal. These included a walnut burr fascia; leather trim; lift-out/tilt glass sunroof and air conditioning PX Welcome // Finance Available // Card Payment Accepted // Delivery Options Available.

Having purchased my car from Ryan just over a month ago, I wanted to share the great experience I received. The car was purchased at a distance, and the description Ryan provided along with the photos were very accurate, so never fear at buying a car at distance from here. Nothing was too much trouble, including a collection from the local station on collection. Some stunning cars on offer with a fantastic service, thank you!
