Introduced in 1986, the HC - denoting High Compression - was built upon the success of the original Giugiaro-styled Turbo Esprit, offering sharper performance and greater flexibility for real-world driving. Powered by Lotus's 2.2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder, the HC benefited from a raised compression ratio and improved engine management, delivering both increased power and smoother delivery across the rev range.Externally the car retained the sharp, futuristic lines that made the Esprit such a design landmark, while subtle detail changes and bold colour schemes marked it out as a child of its era. Inside, the HC combined period luxury with the focused, driver-centric layout Lotus was renowned for. Today, the Turbo Esprit HC stands as a highly collectable classic; blending striking looks, engaging handling, and a tangible link to one of Britain's most innovative sports car manufacturers at the height of its creativity.This specific Esprit comes to market after almost 22 years with our vendor. Recently recommissioned following an extended period off the road, it has had its carburettors ultrasonically cleaned and rebuilt with new service kits, a new fuel pump and filters, fresh oil and coolant, a new coolant header tank, new discs and pads all round, a new cambelt and a new HT king lead - all resulting in a car that runs just as it always has. It comes with a clean MOT with no advisories, valid until 17 July 2026. **** 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.
