Lotus,esprit,turbo,red,1988,exotic on 2040-cars
Madison, Alabama, United States
Turbo was rebuilt at 67,000 by magestic turbo.
New custom made carpet was intalled a year or so ago,perfect. New headliner was installed at the same time.(a normal espirt problem,sorted!) New leather below front windsheild installed also.(a normal esprit problem,sorted!) The interior work was done by a guy that has done cars in Hot Rod ect.(He is the best,period) The engine runs as it should,gears all shift smooth and reverse works as it should.(you have to pull up on the shifter for reverse!) The air conditioner has never worked,needs recharging im sure. It has 70,000 original miles,I have only put 3,000 since ive owned the car. The owners manual has the orignal service documents from long beach california stamped by the dealership,I'll include pictures of that.(very cool!) I also include parts manual and service manual,very expensive if purchased separately. Besides the air conditioner,the relay for the bright lights doesnt work,front headlights only work on dim.(You have to get that relay from England,I'll include the guys in Atlanta,GA phone number,they can get it. This car drives straight and perfect. The turbo is strong and correct,but I stay out of it and always have,this thing has been babied,and I have continued that tradition. The seats are way above average for this year model. This is the last true lotus,GMC bought lotus in 1989 and promptly put a trans-am steering wheel in the cars,really a ugly move,but they had to have an air bag I guess. The original MOMO is so nice,one of the nicest things about driving the car. As far as bang for the buck,this thing has been reliable and a joy to own. I just need an every day driver for now,and I will use this sale for that purpose. THANKS FOR LOOKING,I HATE TO SEE THIS ONE GO! |

Lotus opens the 2013 Formula One season with the launch of the E21 [w/video]
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Lotus has broken the seal on the 2013 Formula One season, launching the E21 car at its factory in Enstone. With the regulations this year quite similar to those of last year, there are no dramatic changes in form compared to the E20. After some teams lobbied to be able to cover the stepped nose with a "vanity panel," Lotus retained the configuration, the team's technical director saying that the panel would add more weight and didn't make sense to put on the car unless it also added performance.
Beyond that, the E21 is said to be an comprehensive advance in its details - the suspension gets a new layout, the Coanda exhaust and the passive double DRS system are evolutions from last year, the front wing is "a continuation of concepts" from 2009.
After securing fourth in the Constructor's Championship last year, this is the chassis that drivers Kimi Räikkönen and Romain Grosjean will use to try and move the team up a place, which would mean beating one of the big three teams over the course of the season. The quietly and impressively consistent Räikkönen managed third in the Driver's Championship, and we're sure he wouldn't mind a move up in the standings, either.
Lotus F1 apologizes for tweeting support for LGBT Olympians
Mon, 10 Feb 2014The Lotus Formula One Team is apologizing after its official Twitter account posted this image of two men kissing in connection to the opening of the Winter Olympics on Friday, February 7. It claims that the original tweet was "unauthorized."
The tweet, which Lotus deleted later that day, can be viewed to the right and was promptly replaced an apology that said, "We would like to sincerely apologise for an unauthorized message posted on our Twitter account today & will ensure this cannot happen again." Responses to the kerfuffle on its Twitter page have mostly focused on confusion as to what the original tweet was and why it was removed.
While the Sochi Olympics have been controversial among LBGT groups because of Russia's laws banning so-called "gay propaganda," the country has a growing importance in F1. In fact, the first Russian Grand Prix is scheduled to run later this season on a circuit around the Sochi Olympic Park. Genii Capital, the team's owner, has business interests in Russia, and according to the BBC, the Lotus F1 team is working on a deal to with Russian mobile phone company Yotaphone to sell it 10 percent of the team.
Lotus signs Pastor Maldonado to replace Raikkonen
Mon, 02 Dec 2013The team currently known as Lotus has had a long string of accomplished drivers behind the wheel, including world champions like Nelson Piquet, Michael Schumacher, Jenson Button, Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen. But Kimi is returning to Ferrari next season, leaving a big question mark over who would fill his seat. And now we have our answer.
Lotus has just announced that it has signed Pastor Maldonado to partner with Romain Grosjean for next season. The surprise winner of the 2012 Spanish Grand Prix has been driving for Williams for the past three seasons, signed after he won the GP2 title in 2010. Though lauded as an emerging talent, Maldonado is clearly not the accomplished champion Raikkonen is, however Lotus apparently needs the money which Maldonado brings with him in the form of sponsorship from the Venezuelan state oil company PDVSA.
Meanwhile, Romain Grosjean, also a former GP2 champion, has been with the team for some time now, starting as its test driver in 2008, promoted for one season to the race seat in 2009, and returning again in 2012. He's been the second driver at Lotus ever since, achieving career-best second-place finishes at the 2012 Canadian Grand Prix and 2013 United States Grand Prix. Whether it will be Grosjean (who gets the higher number) or Maldonado that emerges as the dominant force at Lotus remains to be seen. Scroll down for the complete press release.
