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 readying Evora crossover?!
Fri, Dec 19 2014If it seems to you like every sports car manufacturer is getting into the crossover game, that's because it's pretty much true. And now, we potentially have one more to add to the list, as Britain's Car magazine reports that Lotus – yes, Lotus – is proceeding with plans to build a crossover. Rather than build a new crossover from the ground up, however, Lotus is said to be developing a high-riding version of the existing Evora. It's tipped to keep its rear-drive configuration (rather than going with a proper all-wheel-drive system), with a raised ride height and more rugged styling. In that respect, it may emerge more like a Local Motors Rally Fighter than a Porsche Cayenne challenger. That may yet emerge as not such a bad thing as it may seem on the surface, but for those purists who'd balk at the notion of an off-road Lotus, the British automaker has other plans in store as well. The crossover would arrive on the heels of a refreshed version of the existing Evora, a potential convertible version of the same, and a hardcore, track-focused successor to the 2-Eleven is also said to be in the works. In the end, Lotus would only be the latest in a long string of established sports car makers to get into the crossover game. Porsche of course led the way with the Cayenne and followed up with the Macan, Maserati is set to follow suit, and last we heard, Lamborghini was still awaiting approval to build the Urus concept.
Lotus slated to stop selling Evora in US
Mon, 22 Sep 2014It's been three years now since Lotus stopped selling the Elise and Exige in North America, leaving the Evora as its only model available Stateside. But according to the latest from Car and Driver, even that model is on its way out.
The problem reportedly comes down to air bags. Lotus was granted a temporary exemption from fitting the latest-generation smart airbags to the Evora, but that exemption is set to expire at the end of the year. And once it does, Lotus apparently has no intention of developing and fitting the proper equipment to allow it to continue selling the Evora in the United States.
Once the Evora is gone from our market, Lotus will be reduced to selling only track-bound versions of the Elise and Exige in the US, so the prospect of actually buying a new Lotus and driving off the dealer lot will vanish into thin air.
Question of the Day: What's the greatest British car ever?
Fri, Jul 15 2016The British automotive industry has produced everything from high-production econo-commuters to staggeringly luxurious oligarch-wagons, along the way winning plenty of races and building plenty of beautiful machines. The original Mini led directly to the past half-century of transverse-engine, front-wheel-drive cars built everywhere, the MGB put the sporty little convertible into everyone's reach, and the Morris Oxford became the most beloved motor vehicle in India. So many to choose from, but we want you to pick one. What will it be? Related Video:
