Orinda, California, United States
For more details email me at: sonnyssshelite@ukhelp.com .
Up for sale is a 1994 Lotus Esprit S4 that has been updated to the look of a 2003 V8. You will not find a cleaner
Esprit and none more sorted out than this one! Car has 95,XXX miles but everything is new! All maintenance work and
mechanical work was done by the reowned Lotus Prepared by Claudius. AC blows cold and heater blows hot. Back in
1994 this car was blistering fast with the factory claiming it's 0-60 time of only 4.7 sec and a top speed of 170
mph. Still not too bad by today's standards and can keep up with the best of the best. This may not be a super car
but it is an exotic. Head turner, people are always taking photos of the car on the freeway. I have paperwork for
all work done while in my possession.
The following was done within the last 2,000 miles:
- Brand new engine including all sensors, engine mounts, and with forged pistons and ARP studs,
- New water pump,
- All new belts,
- Brand new brake system replacing the troublesome and discontinued GM brake switch and I am not talking about
rotors and calipers, I mean the ENTIRE brake system,
- Brand new STAINLESS STEEL gas tanks,
- New adjustable struts from firmness to ride height,
- New hoses and plug wires,
- New seals for Transmission,
- New fuel pressure regulator,
Other things done while in my possession:
- S4s Chip bringing an already light car to over 300HP boosting 1.2 bar.
- V8 Seats in mint condition,
- V8 door cards in mint condition,
- New Raid Steering wheel with airbag replacing the ugly GM wheel,
- New floor mats,
- New 2003 LED Tail lights and panel,
- New custom HID head lights and fogs.
- New custom wheels made specifically for the Esprit. 18x9F and 19x11R, tires are 235/35F and 305/30R
- V8 Wing,
- V8 Antena,
- New radio with blue tooth and USB input,
- New Brembo Brakes up front,
I have not gone cheap on this car. I am sad to have to let it go to make room for a new car that I have my eye on
but also in zero rush. I will let the photos tell the story.
Only small issue is that there is a faint fuel smell when the tanks are filled full. I believe it is the gasket at
the top of the tank for the fuel gauge sending unit.

EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi
Sun, 25 Nov 2012EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.
Lotus to receive $16M government grant
Mon, 25 Nov 2013Troubled British automaker Lotus is getting a second infusion of cash following a 100-million-pound ($161.5-million) investment by its parent company DRB-Hicom that was made in August. The substantially smaller investment, a mere 10 million pounds ($16.2 million), comes from the British government's Regional Growth Fund.
The fund, which is part of a 3-billion-pound ($4.8-billion) fund to spur economic growth in the UK, will allow Lotus to invest even further in research and development as it seeks to reinvent its lineup of lightweight sports cars. The fund will also allow the UK-based outfit to provide further training for its new crop of employees.
"This grant is part of a wider strategy for Lotus created to ensure we thrive and grow. We are responding to increased global demand for our cars and engineering consultancy services and this grant will help to position Lotus as the forefront of global automotive innovation," said Aslam Farikullah (shown above with UK Business Secretary Vince Cable MP), the chief operating officer at Lotus.
Lotus bankruptcy case dismissed in UK
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Times 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.
