Turbo was rebuilt at 67,000 by magestic turbo.
New custom made carpet was installed 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,ill include pictures of that.(very cool!)
I also include parts manuals and service manuals,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,Ill include the guys in Atlanta,GA phone number,they can get it.
I just reworked the headlight motor gears,thats lift the headlights,another esprit problem sorted!
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 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 an ugly move,but they had to have an air bag.
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!

The main two thing the car needs is the air conditioner needs recharging.

The bright head lamp relay doesn't work,you have to order from a LOTUS dealership.(dim lights are fine.)

Its a great car,and has never failed to start the entire time I have owned it.

Race Recap: 2013 Indian Grand Prix mostly calm with chances of Championships

Mon, 28 Oct 2013

The smog around the Buddh International Circuit got so bad over the weekend that the FIA had to change the practice sessions. Then the soft tires that Pirelli brought to be the options were found to degrade so quickly that teams had to change their qualifying and race strategies. The only man it didn't seem to affect was - guess who? - Sebastian Vettel, who put his Infiniti Red Bull Racing on pole position.
Behind him came Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas, Mark Webber in the second Infiniti Red Bull and on medium tires, Felipe Massa in the first Ferrari, Kimi Räikkönen in the first Lotus, Nico Hülkenberg in the first Sauber, Fernando Alonso in the second Ferrari, and the McLaren duo of Sergio Perez and Jenson Button. The tire strategizing didn't work out for Romain Grosjean in the second Lotus, who didn't get out of Q1 after only running the medium compound tire and lined up 17th.
The Indian Grand Prix has been held twice and Vettel has led every single lap of both races. If nothing else, we knew there would be at least one new thing about this Indian Grand Prix: there'd be a lap not led by Vettel since he qualified on softs and would have to pit before Webber and Alonso who were both on mediums.

Lotus bankruptcy case dismissed in UK

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Times have not been easy for Lotus lately, so when its name came up on a list of companies scheduled for a liquidation court, it seemed like the end could be near for the fabled British builder of lightweight sports cars. As it turns out, Lotus was on the Companies Court Winding Up list in the UK due to a contractual dispute with a supplier, and the High Court has since dismissed the case.
According to Autocar, Lotus and the supplier actually resolved their issue earlier in the year, but the process couldn't be stopped until seen by a judge. The report says that the case was initiated when Group Lotus failed to pay some of its debts, which is probably a fair indication that Lotus is far from out of the weeds in regards to its financial difficulties.

Lotus recalling certain 2011 Evora S models for possible oil leak, fire

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Last year about 80 examples of the 2011 Lotus Evora S were recalled over an issue with the oil feed pipe. The same number of 2011 Evora S', but with different manufacture dates, are back in the recall box again for a very similar issue; this time it's the engine oil cooler hose that could rupture and spray oil either onto the rear wheels or a hot engine part. Neither of those cases is good, and the latter could potentially lead to a fire.
Lotus is working on a solution, so a recall date hasn't been announced. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.
