1988 Lotus Esprit Turbo SE 38,000 Actual miles I bought this car out of an estate in Idaho in the middle of nowhere. I collect old cars but needed to buy a number of cars to get the old one I wanted. This is not one I would keep. The individual passed away suddenly and most of the vehicles had been sitting. Like the other cars, I had my restorer drain the fuel, we put fresh high octane gas, changed the oil and put new plugs in before we started the car. Several of the tires have light cracking on the sidewall so it needs tires. I would also do a service as it is unknown since the last time. It tracks straight, runs smoothly and shifts beautifully. The exterior paint is in exceptional condition. The leather interior is average but clean. It has a clean Carfax and has never been damaged. I found the dealer sales agreement from Boise, Idaho and he paid $28,000 in 2006. Like the other cars in the group they all were driven sparsely in the years since he purchased them. This car appears to be very sound but is sold as is. NO EMAILS CALL SID 503-312-0822 ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BID. ANYONE UNDER 5 FEEDBACKS MUST CALL BEFORE BIDDING. |

Lotus Cars, Williams Advanced Engineering announce technical partnership
Mon, Jan 28 2019Sports car company Lotus announced a technology development partnership with Williams Advanced Engineering, more commonly referred to simply as Williams. Lotus says the partnership will be specifically focused on propulsion systems. And this has us very excited. Lotus doesn't need much introduction; it makes ultralight and spectacular handling sports cars. Williams is a bit more obscure, but it works on some of the coolest vehicles in the world. For decades the company has participated in Formula 1, and still has a team competing. It developed a wild 500-horsepower flat-six engine for Singer, and it worked with Jaguar on the C-X75 concept car and made stunt versions for the James Bond movie "Spectre." The company even has electric car experience with four seasons of Formula E and development work on the Aston Martin Rapide E on its prodigious resume. The subtext of these various Williams projects is that we could see almost any kind of powertrain show up in Lotus sports cars in the future. The companies could have some high-revving, high-output internal combustion engines for the near-term, then they could create electric drivetrains for future Lotus cars. Think first-generation Tesla Roadster but developed by a company with racing experience. Perhaps the two could even create some hybrids in between launches of the two powertrain types. Of course we're speculating, but none of this out of the question considering Williams' capabilities. In fact, since the Formula E experience is specifically highlighted in the Lotus announcement, we bet electric Lotus cars are all but guaranteed. We will be watching for developments with great anticipation. Related Video:
Former CEO Bahar files $10.6M suit against Lotus
Mon, 27 Aug 2012File this one under "not surprising in the least." Fired Lotus CEO Dany Bahar is reportedly suing his former employers for some $10.6 million, claiming that the automaker and its Malaysian owner, DRB, broke the law when they dismissed him. According to a report by Bloomberg Businessweek, DRB and Lotus will defend themselves in court rather than settling, including filing a countersuit against the former top executive.
Bahar, 40, was canned on June 7, about two weeks after Lotus suspended him pending an investigation into his conduct. The report cites a Kuala Lumpur stock exchange filing as its source of the information; the filing also indicates that DRB has decided against selling Lotus, despite continuing losses.
NHTSA investigating Lotus Elise for oil leaks
Mon, 25 Jul 2011The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has received 17 complaints about an errant oil line in the Lotus Elise, and thus, has opened an investigation. The issue concerns the line on the front right cooler, which, having got loose, sprays oil either on the wheel or inside the engine bay.
This investigation pertains to around 4,400 of the little track-day wonders sold in the 2005 and 2006 model years. There have been no injuries, but one car did leave the road and catch on fire. A NHTSA investigation doesn't mean a full recall has been issued, just that your friends in the fed are looking into the matter.
