1997 Lotus Esprit V8 Turbo Description

1997 Lotus Esprit V8 Turbo

Pearl White with Dark Blue Leather Interior

61,755 original miles

Wilwood Big Brake Kit

Clean title and history

Vehicle is in excellent condition inside and out. The pearl white exterior paint is by far the most mesmerizing coachwork we have ever seen. The paint will change colors based on how the sunlight is hitting the car. All the body panels have original paint and have never had any re-sprays. There are a few blemishes on the lower front lip spoiler (see photos) All other panels are blemish free. The interior shows very well with little signs or prior use. Vehicle has a custom sound system and touch screen navigation. Timing belt was just replaced at Lotus of Newport Beach. Transmission was just serviced as well. All fluids have been changed out. Tires are fresh with some high performance compounds. Overall a very nice V8 Esprit!
