FOR THE VIDEOS ABOUT THE CAR, PLEASE SEE THE PICS FOR THE LINK. You are viewing a stellar condition 1999 Lotus Esprit. This vehicle has been stored indoors its entire life. For a large chunk of its life it was stored in a climate controlled car bubble. Its mechanic told me that THIS WAS ONE OF 123 Esprits that was imported to the United States in 1999. This car has an excellent AUTOCHECK record, which I encourage bidders to check out prior to bidding. It will show the mileage history to show that the miles are spot on. NO ACCIDENTS, NOTHING. It is beautiful. Currently, the vehicle is stored inside a carpeted garage, which is nicer than most family rooms. This is the lowest mileage LOTUS that I have ever seen at its age. It’s also the best condition one I have ever seen. It looks like it did on the showroom floor when it was new. It even still smells like new. NEVER smoked in. NEVER raced or tested at the track. Also, since it lives in Las Vegas, it has to stay out of the sun. It usually only comes out for evening drives at sundown and loves the temperature. It recently had a full look through and service at the LOTUS specialist in town. It had its wheel bearings replaced and every inch of the car looked over. The mechanic, who has worked on a multitude of these vehicles, has never seen one in this great of shape. The cost for the above was $1000. The only thing that acts up on the car is the ABS light. The reason it is acting up is because the sensors are very sensitive and when the bearings were replaced I was told that they need to go in to re-adjust the sensors to keep the light from going off. I have included a ton of great photos along with a few videos. You can hear the car running in one or two of the videos. You can hear it purr like a kitten. This car also has a custom trickle charge system installed so you can easily just plug the car right into the charger. I am including the charger with the auction. I believe this was about $400 to install. The car has two keyless entry key remotes along with one engine kill deactivator. One of the keyless entry remotes needs a new rubber connector. This doesn’t impact the operation of it by any means. The car’s factory alarm is fully functional. The car has power windows. The factory floor mats look brand new. The car also has the glass top with it. I usually keep the painted top on the car. I feel that it looks more streamlined with it in vs. the glass top. The rims are in great shape. They just have a few chips in the typical spots since the
rims are so even with the tires.
These are the typical chips that would be picked up with driving. I have included video and good photos
that you can see that they are in great shape. This car runs like a champ, it never over heats, both of its turbos will lock you to the seat. Once again, all of this was tested on the last service from the mechanic. The tires are in excellent shape with no signs of dry rotting. The tread looks to be at 70% or more. The stereo is the original factory ALPINE that is in perfect working order. The paint is in amazing shape. I only use the softest of clothes on it and when it gets detailed we use very minimal water on it. Speaking of water, it has never been driven in water or rain. If there is any fear of rain, it goes home immediately. If there is a picture that I have not included, please let me know. I have tried to hit every single angle and be as accurate as possible. This car is 100% capable of going to BARRETT JACKSON. It is an amazing vehicle and could really be a great piece in someone’s collection. I wish I had the room to keep it myself. Please pay particular attention to the photo of the steering wheel, which is often an area that easily shows wear and tear. That is NOT the case with this car; like the rest of the car, the steering wheel looks practically brand new. Now for the fun legal stuff: This car is being sold as-is with no warranty express or implied. It is being sold with a clear NEVADA title. Buyer is responsible for obtaining his or her own insurance immediately. Seller has done the best of his ability to describe this vehicle as accurately as possible. Seller is not responsible for any damage done to the vehicle during transport. Buyer must pay for and arrange at his or her own expense shipping/ transport of this vehicle. Once this vehicle leaves the SELLER’S possession it is then the responsibility of the BUYER 100%. Anything that happens from that point on is the responsibility of the BUYER. Payment must be made in full prior to the vehicle leaving the SELLER’S possession. By bidding on this auction or winning this auction BUYER agrees to not dispute the deposit in any way shape or form. In the event BUYER disputes the deposit, he or she will be responsible for any and all court costs related to getting that deposit back including court costs, attorney’s fees, private investigation fees and or any other fee that could possibly occur due to having to recover said deposit. Buyer will also sign a standard bill of sale in addition to this auction for both parties records. The mileage is subject to change a little because I am still driving the vehicle. It won't exceed 9850 though by the time someone gets it. I just take her out to get the blood flowing some. The deposit can be through PayPal. The remaining balance through certified funds. Please see all the great pics. For someone that wants a top notch, stellar quality extremely rare Lotus to add to their collection, this is the one. Please let me know if you have any questions that pertain to your interest in this auction. Check out the pics, you will never find a Lotus this close to showroom quality! |

Lotus F1 Team reveals new E23 Hybrid
Mon, Jan 26 2015Lotus is keen to leave a lackluster 2014 Formula One World Championship campaign behind it and race forward towards a new era, and this is the car with which it hopes to do so. The new E23 Hybrid is the twenty-third chassis to come from the Enstone-based team. As with the new Williams that was the first new chassis revealed for this year, the principal difference you can see is the more conventional nose to replace the twin-tusk setup of the E22, but there's more to it than that. For starters, it's the first new Lotus to pack Mercedes power after the team parted ways with Renault – the manufacturer that used to own the team and which has powered every car the team has built since Benetton signed with the French automaker way back in 1995. It also packs a completely new suspension setup after the original FRIC design in the preceding E22 was banned mid-season, forcing Enstone engineers to go back to the drawing board halfway through the championship. Word has it that, after earlier rumors suggested the team might not even make it back onto the grid, new sponsors will be added before the season gets under way in Melbourne on March 15 with the Australian Grand Prix. To pilot the new car, Lotus has retained the same two drivers as last year in Romain Grosjean and Pastor Maldonado. The team is hoping to perform better this season than it did the last, when it finished the constructors' championship way down in eighth place – the same result it achieved in 2009 under Renault ownership and the worst it had performed since the Toleman days in 1983.
Stock Miata beats bunch of high-powered cars in wet 1/4-mile drag race
Thu, 06 Jun 2013When is a stock, 167-horsepower Mazda MX-5 Miata quicker than a Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lotus Elise and a Porsche 911? When it's raining. Sort of.
Mazda Canada arranged a unique drag race to show off the fact that the Miata's optional power retractable folding hardtop can go from top-down to top-up in just 12 seconds flat. In this video, all six cars line up for a drag race, and it starts to rain (well, sort of - but you'll have to watch the video all the way to the end to see what we mean). The green flag is waved, and the timer starts as soon as the convertibles begin to put their tops up. But because the Miata's roof mechanism gets the car's roof back up a full 5.1 seconds quicker than the second-place car, the Mazda gets a serious advantage off the line for the actual drag race.
It's a fun video. And while we've spoiled the results (come on, the video was uploaded by Mazda, you knew the Miata was going to win), be sure to see how it all unfolds, below.
Lotus will let Evija buyers configure their 2,000-hp electric car on their couch
Wed, Apr 15 2020The men and women who reserved a Lotus Evija will have the opportunity to configure their 2,000-horsepower electric car without getting off their couch. Several aspects of the coupe are customizable, so the company created a digital, touchscreen-based configurator to let clients design their car without leaving their home. Online configurators have been around for over a decade, but Lotus explained its software is more advanced and life-like than what's normally found on a manufacturer's website. It relies on a powerful graphics processor and software gleaned from the gaming world to display extremely realistic images of the car that almost look like they're photographs. Enthusiasts can see the Evija from every angle, inside and out, and they can pelt it into different worlds to check how a specific color looks in the shade or in direct sunlight. The configurator's last party trick is what the firm calls a 360-degree fly-through film which looks like it was shot with a drone. Lotus Evija configurator View 10 Photos When they're done, customers can hit save to send their configuration to Lotus headquarters in Hethel, England. They won't take delivery immediately, the Evija is a limited-edition car built largely by hand, so the company will whet their appetite by periodically sending them gifts. It hasn't revealed what it will ship clients, though it's not too far-fetched to imagine a scale model will be in one of the care packages. Each customer will also receive a personalized build book showing the car at different stages during the production process. Lotus will make 130 examples of the Evija, and it's planning to launch production before the end of 2020. The first year's allocation is already spoken for, according to the firm, so act fast if you want to add one to your collection. Alternatively, Lotus told Autoblog the Evija is a trailblazer that will influence future models, notably in terms of design and technology, so you're in luck if you like what you see but want it at a cheaper price point. Those of us who aren't waiting for a ticket into the Evija club will need to wait for their chance to spec one. "At the moment, [the configurator] is only for customers," a company spokesperson told Autoblog via email. Related Video:
