Whether it was a poster on your bedroom wall, a toy on the living room carpet, or the star of the James Bond film, For Your Eyes Only, the Lotus Esprit Turbo was the British answer to Ferrari and Lamborghini - a sharp-edged, mid-engined statement that proved Britain could build a supercar to match the Italians.Razor-sharp design with the performance of a turbocharged 2.2L engine. As the third evolution of the Turbo Esprit, the S3 brought improved refinement, handling, and reliability, cementing its status as a drivers' machine. Lightweight construction, agile chassis, and striking presence, it still remains one of Lotus's most celebrated creations.Coming from four years of ownership with our vendor, the Esprit is finished in its original black and gold colour-way confirmed by a Lotus Heritage Certificate, it is a stunning example of a well restored and cared for classic. Originally prepared by Hilton and Moss, the car has had a significant level of thoughtful work carried out including a new clutch, exhaust, and the addition of a third cooling fan for improved thermal management.The brakes have also been fully overhauled - brand-new OEM rear suspension was fitted, ceramic paint coating applied, upgraded Blaupunkt Bremen DAB radio installed and rolling road tuning completed by CCK Historic. Every part fitted has been either new - old stock or a correct specialist item and remains largely as it left the factory.It's every bit the poster child it once was. It's more than a car - it's a time capsule from the golden age of wedge-shaped supercars, and it turns heads today just as it did 40 years ago. For anyone who remembers its heyday, this is a rare chance to own one of the true icons of British sports car design - a car that has been taken from restored to perfected. **** VEHICLE DETAIL **** We've written a longer and detailed description about this vehicle on our website that will have all of your burning questions answered.
