Description
This is the ONLY Esprit V8 in the WORLD of the "Final Model" , in Lotus Deep Purple Metallic , being a "Special Order" as displayed at the 2002 NEC Motor Show .
There isn`t another one ... this is it ... & to add to it`s collectability , it has only done 4, 800 genuine miles from new ... is totally standard & exactly as it left the Lotus factory .
Supplied by Peter Smith Sports Cars of Derby , it has been serviced by their Lotus Trained Foreman Gavin Hussey ( now of "Unit 4" Burton on Trent ) entirely from new !
It includes the wind deflector , optional glass roof ( as well as the original composite one ) & roof storage bag . The front splitter comes with the car but has been temporarily removed , in order to tackle a speed hump at our local Club Lotus Meeting with ease !
It`s difficult to value such a rare car ( they only made 41 in total for the UK ) but several "similar" low mileage ones of the Final Model have all sold for six figures , the highest being $220, 00 dollars in 2023.
Last of the Chapman Era Cars , with just 1 careful former owner ( a fellow Club Lotus Member ) , this Esprit has been totally pampered from new !
This is a unique opportunity to view & buy the Esprit now , before it goes to auction where it will have a guide of £90k - £125k.
Genuine enquiries invited & a full cambelt service will be included in the sale .
House move forces a reluctant sale .
