Lotus Esprit S1 Body Only. For Parts Or Custom Project Series 1 Espirit Project on 2040-cars

Year:1977 Mileage:1
Location:

Granite Falls, Washington, United States

Granite Falls, Washington, United States

  This is a Series 1 Lotus Esprit Body only. No chassis, No drive train. What you see in the pictures is what you get. Interestingly this was a U.K. market car, originally with right hand drive. The body was modified at some point for racing and has huge ducts added to direct air into the engine compartment. Both doors open and shut and have latches. Both doors have good glass in them. There is no other glass included. Both doors still have their power window motors. The pop up headlamps still have their motor too and this must be an early S1 car because it only has one motor for both sides. There is one federal rear bumper included.

Both door panels are included. There is a very new and un-assembled roll cage included with all the tubes pre-bent and marked as to their position but not yet welded together.

There are lots of good parts here to repair a damaged Esprit or you could use this as a basis for a custom project or maybe make it into a submarine or yard art?

I do not have a title or any paper work for this car.

It is sold as-is and must be picked up within 30 days. It can be viewed by appointment in Granite Falls WA (near Seattle).

It can easily be loaded on a flat bed and I can help load it. I do currently have a trailer for sale and if interested you can contact me for more info on it (you could pick up the car already loaded!).

I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

Please feel free to ask any questions.

New Lotus owners ditch ambitious five-year plan

Thu, 26 Jul 2012

This didn't take long. The new overlords at Lotus have reportedly scrapped the company's five-year plan. DRB-Hicom ditched the turnaround strategy, penned by ousted CEO Danny Bahar, because it believes the market viewed the plan as overly ambitious.
The new product plan will slim the number of new model lines from five to three, and Lotus will likely slash the number planned consultants in favor of relying more heavily on in-house talent. According to The Star, the move should help expedite product development and save cash at the same time.
Even so, nothing is written in stone as of yet. DRB-Hicom says the new plan will take up to a year to finalize. The company has dumped around $242 million into Lotus so far this year, and the struggling automaker may require another $121 million by 2013. Lotus all but stopped production earlier this year during a loan freeze, but the lights came back on in April. The company now produces around 44 vehicles per week.

Top Gear caught filming Best of British near Buckingham Palace

Mon, 24 Jun 2013

YouTuber and car-fan extraordinaire Shmee probably had very little trouble tracking down the Top Gear film crew recently, as the group was putting together an episode that could accurately be described as "excessive." With its flag-waving (literally) Best of British theme, the TG guys gathered a jaw-dropping array of British cars, and parked them all right in front of Buckingham Palace to make extra sure that the point was driven home.
Top Gear hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May were outfitted with a trio of Jaguar F-Types festooned with gigantic Union Jacks, with which to survey the landscape of British motoring glory. In the video below, you'll see that this includes any number of Mini, Aston Martin, Lotus, McLaren, Land Rover, Bentley and Rolls-Royce models (just to name a few), as well as a healthy dose of weird stuff that most people would never guess at being built in the UK. The lawnmowers and military vehicles are especially cool.

Lotus hands Pastor Maldonado a new Evora S in Monaco

Sat, 31 May 2014

Being a Formula One driver has its privileges. First off, you get to drive F1 cars for a living. You get treated like royalty and fly around the world. And if you're lucky, you might get a supercar thrown at you once in a while. It all depends on which team you drive for.
Fernando Alonso, for example, has had countless Ferraris, Maseratis, Abarths and Jeeps thrown his way. Lewis Hamilton was a little disappointed not to get the keys to that rare McLaren F1 LM when he won the championship. But Pastor Maldonado just got his hands on a new Lotus Evora S.
Pastor who now, you ask? Pastor Maldonado. The first Venezuelan driver in F1, Maldonado won the GP2 title in 2010 then made the jump to F1, driving for Williams for the past three seasons, impressively winning the Spanish Grand Prix in 2012. Now he's at Lotus filling Kimi Raikkonen's seat, and took delivery of his white Evora - complete with 3.5-liter supercharged V6 and six-speed sequential gearbox - in Monte Carlo last weekend during the Monaco Grand Prix.
