Lotus Esprit Turbo 1985 Project
Location: Miami
Seller is a private party
2.2 Liter Turbo Engine
5 speed manual
Giugiaro styles Esprit that needs lot of work. It has not run in 4 years but owner states he has owned the car for 24 years but never got to the project. He is now ready to let it go for 15k or best offer.
This is probably priced too high but could be a worthy restoration candidate for someone that loves Esprits. It has the BBS wheels and the good thing is that its fiberglass. It will still require a full resotration which includes full body work and paint, engine work, and full interior restoration.
Anyone up for the Challenge? I would love to see this restoration documented.
Above is an example of a 1985 turbo and what this project could be…

Up for sale is a 1985 Lotus Esprit Turbo with 48,694 miles. I’m asking $15,000 OBO, price is negotiable.The car has not been turned on for 4 years. This was supposed to be my project car but I haven’t gotten around to do it. I have owned the car for 24 years over half its life. She is in fair to rough shape, she does need work. Please don’t hesitate to call or text me with any questions you might have good luck buying.
