1978 Lotus Esprit Base Coupe 2-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States
|
Here we have a 1978 Lotus Esprit S2, I have owned this car for many years but haven't had a chance to restore it yet. This beauty is complete, not butchered in anyway, original carbs, engine, engine cover, interior, etc. Its been stored in a completely dry garage under its cover.
The car needs total restoration but being an S2 will continue to rise in value. If you have been looking for a complete, stock S2 restoration project this is your car. I have a clear title for the car and its ready to go. The engine is not turning and will probably need a rebuild. The seats are shot but the rest of the interior is in shockingly good condition. The car has BRAND NEW tires on it, not junker tires but the stock size BF goodrich tires. I hate storing cars on flat tires so it was worth the investment. They cost over 700 dollars. Please note, I will add interior pictures, and more engine pictures Saturday, the car is stored away from my house. So please don't email requesting pics, just check back Saturday. I will sell this car with no reserve, but have the right to end the auction at anytime as the car is for sale locally. If you buy this car I expect payment via paypal within 12 hours of the auction ending, DO NOT bid on this car if you do not have funds in place, and your wife, girlfriend, banker is cool with it. Also since this is a no reserve auction dont bid this car to 15k and then leave negative feedback based on its condition. That just happened to me on of all things, an accordion.. To make it clear, this car needs restoration, if you wish to come see it, I am in Colorado Springs and welcome an inspection, however once you win the auction, its yours, so please arrange to look at it first if you wish. why am I selling? Well I thought I would never sell this car, but found a 308 GTB I am hot after, so this and my 89 Esprit are probably going to go, I will keep an 85 Esprit. Again, payment is due via paypal no later than 12 hours after auction ends, if you dont agree with that, or understand that please don't bid. Also I will help load it and will even store the car for a while if need be, I can fedex the title to you when auction ends if you need it stored. Please excuse the filtered pics for the auction, I just snapped these in my driveway last year. I will upload detailed pictures Saturday. |

Lotus Exige S Roadster coming this summer to a circuit near you
Wed, 01 May 2013We haven't heard much about the Lotus Exige S Roadster since we first saw it at the Geneva Motor Show last year, but Lotus is now confirming the car will go on sale this summer. Of course, unless anything has changed since the car was introduced, Lotus' "ultimate roadster" will still not be coming to the US.
Lotus has released a new video showing its 345-horsepower roadster in action, and while it doesn't even show that much of the car, you can check out our live images of the Exige S Roadster in our gallery. The video, which looks like a knockoff of a Universal Studios movie trailer, is posted below.
Race Recap: 2013 German Grand Prix is old beginnings, new endings [spoilers]
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Just like at Silverstone last weekend, the German Formula One Grand Prix started with Lewis Hamilton putting his Mercedes-AMG Petronas on pole. The only thing missing at the pointy end of the grid was his teammate Nico Rosberg, who lined up beside him in England but back in 11th in Germany because of a team error in qualifying. So instead it was Vettel in the first Infiniti Red Bull in second, his teammate Mark Webber in third, the Lotus duo of Kimi Räikkönen and Romain Grosjean.
Again, just like at Silverstone - and Canada - Daniel Ricciardo used his magic beans to impress with the Toro Rosso, lining up in sixth, followed by Felipe Massa in the first Ferrari, Fernando Alonso in the second. Jenson Button in the McLaren, Nico Hülkenberg finished up the top ten.
When the lights went green, it didn't take long for the race to become a black-and-blue affair...
Elise Time Attack could be most extreme Lotus yet
Mon, 07 Jul 2014The Lotus Elise has given birth to some seriously fast and varied machinery. Aside from Lotus' own models like the Exige, 2-Eleven, 340R and Europa, electric vehicles like the Tesla Roadster, not to mention the never-released Dodge Circuit and Detroit Electric SP:01, are all based on the Elise's platform. As were/are the Melkus RS 2000, the Opel Speedster/Vauxhall VX220 and the Hennessey Venom GT. But this could be the most extreme use of the lightweight chassis yet.
This Series 1 Elise has been built by one performance-obsessed Brit with a single purpose: to compete in the UK's Time Attack championship. For those unfamiliar, Time Attack is something like a rally or a hillclimb event, only it takes place on a racing circuit. Each vehicle goes out on the track by itself and sets the best time it can, without needing to worry about other competitors until the finish line is crossed and it's the next racer's turn. That's what drove Lee to modify his Lotus so thoroughly, with more wings, diffusers, flaps and carbon fiber than a Boeing factory. Check it out in the video below.
