Description
Spectacular design and exceptional handling: this is the result of the unique collaboration between Giorgetto Giugiaro and Lotus. Descended from the Lotus Europa, the Esprit is a true benchmark in terms of sportiness while remaining a true GT.
Here we have a rare left-hand drive export in its beautiful Calypso Red (L42) colour. Equipped with a naturally-aspirated 2. 2L 4-cylinder engine, a 2-spoke steering wheel, optional BBS wheels and "Esprit 3" stickers, our example is one of the very first S3s. Second-hand since the 1980s, this Lotus is in exceptional original condition both inside and out. Its condition is a testament to the care it received from its previous owner, who was a passionate and knowledgeable Lotus collector.
