1981 LOTUS ESPRIT TURBO DRY SUMP. GIUGIARO For Sale
For sale my DRY SUMP Turbo Esprit purchased last summer.
Previous long term ownership prior to me (13 years) by well known Lotus enthusiast and covering just 10K miles in that time. Current mileage 79K. Huge service and history file, absolutely doted over by previous owner and fastidiously maintained.
Same spec as Essex model except no roof stereo. A/ C removed by a prior owner to add lightness (as the saying reportedly goes). Highly desirable and rare 4 stud Compomotive split rim wheels, good tyres and PNM brakes. Light tan, half leather interior with dark green carpets.
It comes with Lotus Service and Parts manuals, all MoT's, service history and maintenance bills. Major body off restoration, engine rebuild and replacement chassis in the 1990s and repainted from original Silver to Titanium Pearl. Front bib has usual peppering of stone chips commensurate with such a low car and some micro blistering on roof and tail panels, invisible from a few paces, otherwise a quality respray. The sale also includes 2 spare front split rim Compomotive wheels (4 stud), unused replacement front air dam, bumper and under tray together with lower links, radius arms, camshafts and many mechanical components specific to dry sump cars.
This car is sure to impress and is certainly a sound investment with prices of rare Esprits currently holding strong. The Dry Sump register shows literally just a handful of these on the road in the UK presently.
Viewing welcome and encouraged at any time.
