Wanted: 1978 to 1986 Lotus Esprit
Thomas is a recent arrival in Sydney from the USA and is seeking a 1978 to 1986 Esprit. Read on for the details, and reach out via [email protected] if you’re able to help.
I have owned several Lotus cars over the years and currently own a Stevens Esprit with GM electronics. I’m looking to purchase a 1978 to 1986 Esprit (2, 2.2, Turbo models and would consider a S1 as well). I would rather pay more for one in good shape rather than a project but I am a retired mechanic (I owned a chain of Automotive repair shops in New Orleans). $100k ish budget.
