The Lotus Esprit was launched in 1976, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro and immediately recognised for its sharp, wedge-shaped styling. Through the late 1970s Lotus steadily evolved the Esprit, refining suspension, engines, and build quality. In 1981 Lotus introduced a turbocharged version. Powered by Lotus 2.2-litre, 16-valve, twin-cam four-cylinder engine with a Garrett turbocharger producing 210 bhp. This propelled the car from 0-60mph in just 5.5 secs and onto a top speed of 150 MPH. The Esprit Turbo became instantly recognisable after its appearance in the 1981 James Bond film, For Your Eyes Only. The Lotus Esprit Turbo offered here at Autostorico is a 1983 ‘A plate’ finished in Red Calipso with Vanilla White leather interior trim. Having covered a mere 36,808 miles this stunning example was purchased by its current owner a Lotus enthusiast in January 2021. This very original vehicle was then subject to a no expense spared mechanical and cosmetic overhaul carried out by marque specialist’s Max 500 Ltd and Allon White Sports Cars. Works included a full mechanical overhaul including removing the engine and gearbox before a comprehensive service including cam belts. An Alunox stainless and titanium exhaust manifold and waste gate fitted. A full brake and suspension overhaul followed with new shock absorbers being fitted. Finally, the car was retrimmed in its original Vanilla White leather trim and new carpets fitted. Supplied with a history file including current V5 registration document, numerous invoices and other related material. This Lotus represents a fantastic opportunity to own a stunning example of a true iconic 1980s film legend, which will certainly appreciate further over time.
