When previous advertised for sale :-

Scott James of Lytham , sold the car and described it as this

"LOTUS ESPRIT TURBO 2. 2 TURBO 2DR, 2 Door Coupe, Black, previous owners 2, 43, 000 miles.

Very rare to find an original 2 owner example which has spent most of its life indoors only venturing out in dry weather. The only upgrade we've given is to replace the weak point of all esprits the cast iron manifold and exhaust to the highly recommended Alunox light weight system which is stronger, more reliable and benefits from 20bhp more. Finished in black with contrasting black and dark red interior."

UK Sports Cars also sold it ( similar mileage)

"Lotus Esprit Turbo 1988. 43, 000 miles and one of the first Peter Stevens “new-shape” Esprit Turbos. Stunning in black with red leather with raven stripe. Very original example fitted with a full specification of air-conditioning and factory full width Targa glass sunroof. Original Owner’s Handbook with original supplying Lotus Main Dealer JCT 600 service stamps. MOT certificates going back nearly 30 years showing the slow progression of mileage over the years. A very original car indeed and comes with a full “C” Service where all drives belts will be replaced and a new MOT test certificate supplied. Very rare example in black and drives superbly with the low mileage. A very taut and useable classic Lotus Esprit Turbo."
