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. |

Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition
Wed, 26 Dec 2012Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.
Lotus spotted testing more extreme Elise on the Nordschleife
Tue, 19 Aug 2014If we had a nickel for every version of the Elise that Lotus has rolled out over the years, we might actually have enough spare change to buy one ourselves. And we're not even talking about the entire separate models (like the Exige and Europa) that Lotus has based on the Elise's platform or the other automakers' cars (like the Tesla Roadster and Hennessey Venom GT) that have used the same. And now Lotus appears to be testing another one.
Spotted lapping the Nürburgring, what we're looking at here appears to be the track-bound Elise S Cup R, but our intrepid paparazzi by the side of the track tell us it's missing the switches for the battery isolator and fire extinguisher. In their place, this Elise is wearing an even bigger rear wing as part of an altogether rather aggressive aero kit - not to mention a rockin' matte red wrap.
All of these telltales make us think Lotus has something extreme in the works, and we could find out what exactly it is as early as the Paris Motor Show in October, so stay tuned and watch this space.
Caterham inks US distribution deal with Superformance
Fri, 03 Jan 2014Sort of like an automotive big box store, Superformance is rapidly becoming the destination for anyone interested in modern kit cars. Besides the normal spattering of Shelby Cobra replicars, Superformance also offers replicas of the GT40 and Corvette Grand Sport. Now, we can add an altogether different type of DIY car to the company's portfolio - Caterham.
Superformance has just been announced as the new US distributor for Caterham Cars, effectively adding the entire suite of Lotus variants to the company's catalog. While there will be a large variety of models available, according to Caterham the mix will skew toward more powerful offerings. As much as we like the affordable appeal of a Seven 160 or Roadsport, simply having the wildly powerful 620 R or Superlight R500 available in the US is a good thing for enthusiasts.
"In the last two years, Caterham has significantly broadened its reach internationally and signing a new official distributor in the form of Superformance in America is a natural extension of how our brand is expanding, rapidly, across the globe," Caterham Group CEO Graham Macdonald said.
