Comments from the seller
Feel like driving with class? Then don't let this 1988 Lotus Esprit go to someone else!. 68000 on the clock only.
1988 Lotus Esprit – Corvette 5.7L V8 – Supercar Meets Muscle
Exotic British styling. Brutal American power.
This ’88 Lotus Esprit packs a fully engineered Corvette 5.7L V8 with a heavy-duty Kennedy power-assisted clutch for effortless control. Wrapped in a full cream leather interior, it’s as classy as it is fast.
A head-turning, one-of-a-kind machine with the handling of a Lotus and the heart of a Corvette.
A reluctant sale - very exciting to drive - to exciting to be honest
This is the model featured in a few movies like Pretty Woman and a few others :)
When you stop to get fuel you usually cant leave because people are taking photos of her - seriously
Features a stereo with retractable screen and Carplay
This car is a one off and has no comparison - I cant divulge the number plate but any Lotus owner would be proud to own it and its actually worth a lot of money and is also for sale and open to offers) the number plate is not included, if you intend to have classic car registration only (which is possible) then this is not an issue.
