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! |

Recap: 2013 Australian Formula One Grand Prix is all about the rubber [w/spoilers]
Sun, 17 Mar 2013A pre-season full of talking points was swapped for a brand-new set of talking points after the running of the opening grand prix of the 2013 Formula One season. The consistency of the regulations from last year to this year and the triplicate dominance of Infiniti Red Bull Racing meant that no one would have been that surprised if the relative order of things remained the same. But teams found so many ways to switch things up that, in typical pre-season fashion, no one was ready to make any bets on in-season performance, and a couple of surprising players suffered the ignominy of getting it really wrong: McLaren knew it was in trouble from the very first test, while Williams drivers applauded their car as the best in years, only to have Pastor Maldonado call it "undriveable" on the very first day of practice in Melbourne.
And then there were those Pirellis, the Italian company talking up the fact that its super soft tires would only go off so quickly that it would force teams to pit at least twice during the race.
Even then, no one could have seen the first round of pit stops beginning on Lap 5.
Lotus Exige S Roadster coming this summer to a circuit near you
Wed, 01 May 2013We haven't heard much about the Lotus Exige S Roadster since we first saw it at the Geneva Motor Show last year, but Lotus is now confirming the car will go on sale this summer. Of course, unless anything has changed since the car was introduced, Lotus' "ultimate roadster" will still not be coming to the US.
Lotus has released a new video showing its 345-horsepower roadster in action, and while it doesn't even show that much of the car, you can check out our live images of the Exige S Roadster in our gallery. The video, which looks like a knockoff of a Universal Studios movie trailer, is posted below.
Race Recap: 2013 Korean F1 Grand Prix crazy enough for Psy [spoilers]
Mon, 07 Oct 2013The end of qualifying for the 2013 Korean Formula One Grand Prix left us with five pairs: two chassis each from Infiniti Red Bull Racing, Mercedes-AMG Petronas, Lotus, Ferrari and Sauber. Yes, Sauber. The last time the Swiss team had two drivers in the top ten was Japan last year, when Kamui Kobayashi converted the grid spot into a podium.
But let's start at the front of the top ten, where Sebastian Vettel put his Red Bull on pole for the 42nd time in his career. He was followed by Lewis Hamilton in second place by two-tenths of a second, Mark Webber in the second Infiniti Red Bull, and Romain Grosjean in the Lotus in fourth. Out-qualifying teammate Kimi Räikkönen again, the Finn would line up in tenth. Nico Rosberg put the second Mercedes in fifth, Fernando Alonso got the first Ferrari into sixth ahead of teammate Felipe Massa, while Nico Hülkenberg led with the first Sauber in eighth, teammate Esteban Gutiérrez showing the promise he was hired for (okay, and his money) in ninth. Except they'd all move up a place because Webber had to serve his ten-place grid penalty after getting his third reprimand of the season in Singapore. That would get Sergio Perez in his McLaren into tenth. Yes, McLaren needed a grid demotion ahead to make it into the top ten.
It was an entertaining top ten that no one would have expected. When the red lights went out, we were treated to one of the most entertaining races of the year - it was Gangnam Style at 300 kilometers per hour.
