The Esprit is a 2002 Twin Turbo V8 with ~14922 miles on it. It is a 25th Anniversary Edition model. The car is paint code B92 silver metallic over black leather interior. The stitching for the leather is a silvery/white.

This Esprit is in excellent cosmetic condition both in an out. Some photos may have a pink or purplish tinge to them at the edges, it's the camera. All photos except the south of the border are recent. There is no damage or cracking to the lower front spoiler at all because great care is used when out driving. The car is 100% original as it comes from the factory with no modifications.

The exterior paint does not have any cracking or scratches. I personally detailed the vehicle using my supply of products and porter cable earlier in the summer. All rubber trim and gaskets are in excellent condition with no tears.

The interior of the Esprit does not have any tears and is still as supple and clean as day 1 from the factory. All carpets are in an excellent non-faded condition. The interior is 100% original. I cautiously enter and exit the vehicle each time I drive it so I do not wear out the bolster and educate passengers to try and do the same. I use Leatherique rejuvinator and prestine clean products on the entire interior to ensure the leather was well fed and continued to be supple.

The transmission shifts smooth and shifter feel is quite lovely. The engine sounds fantastic. This is a pristine cosmetic condition car but has not sat in a garage which is probably worse for these cars. They need to be used to stay fresh. The car has not swapped hands through multiple owners or dealerships every couple of months. It is automobile enthusiast owned since 2008.

Both the glass and silver tops are included with the sale. I also have the air deflector which can be installed at the roof mounting positions for open top driving. (See photo)

The car is not driven in the rain or foul weather. It is only used on sunshine days. Stored in a heated garage during the winter months with a battery tender.

The service history during my ownership is as follows:

Purchased the car in October of 2008
  • Because I live in central NY, it was then time to put the car away in our heated garage for winter storage.
Spring of 2009
  • Synthetic oil and filter change using an Esprit filter from JAE
2010
  • Timing belt replacement completed under Lotus Warranty
  • New auxiliary belt
  • New knock sensor
  • ECM was found to not have the latest reflash stickers so it was sent out to Lotus Cars USA for proper reprogramming and then reinstalled
  • Synthetic oil and filter change
2011
  • Synthetic oil and filter change
2012
  • Drove the car 250 miles to Lotus dealership for service ($2300)
  • "A" service for Esprit V8
  • Synthetic oil and filter change
  • Brake fluid flush and refill
  • Coolant flush and refill
  • Transmission fluid flush and refill
  • Clutch was said to still be in very good condition
  • Diagnosis found the HVAC valve stepper motor under the passenger side dash to be faulty and not properly directing air flow for use in heating the interior. It was confirmed coolant does get to the heater matrix correctly it just is not being directed. I was told it takes 3-4 weeks for the part to come in but I wanted to enjoy the car for the summer and it is a fair weather vehicle anyway.
  • Lower control arm bushings were replaced
  • Fuel filler neck seal replaced (I found the fuel neck grommet to be torn so I wanted it replaced)
  • Car was noted as being very finely detailed
2013
  • I may complete an oil and filter change before winter storage.
I hope the photos capture the vehicle condition and can take additional photos per requests.

Mileage on the Esprit will increase as the car is still driven to work every now and then. When the snow falls the car is in the garage until the spring and roads are clean.

Born-again Lotus Esprit will be a hybrid in more ways than one

Mon, Mar 16 2020

Volvo parent company Geely is helping Lotus end its drought of new products. The storied British company is allegedly developing a mid-engined hybrid coupe it will position as a spiritual successor to the Esprit. The yet-unnamed model will slot above the existing Evora as a more usable and more refined alternative, according to sources who spoke to Autocar. It will ride on a modified Evora platform, but the two cars won't look anything alike; the upcoming hybrid will liberally borrow styling cues from the electric Evija hypercar.  The planned gasoline-electric powertrain will make the coupe a hybrid in more ways than one. The space directly behind the two-seater cabin will be occupied by a V6 sourced from the Toyota parts bin, and the electrified portion of the system will consist mainly of components provided by Volvo. An output over the 500-horsepower mark is likely, but more specific technical specifications remain guarded. What's nearly certain is that the Lotus engineering team will go to significant lengths to offset the weight added by the lithium-ion battery pack. Insiders described the coupe as a stop-gap between the current-generation Lotus models, including the Elise still sold in many global markets, and an array of upcoming sports cars that will ride on a new platform. Another one of the company's future models is an SUV — its first — built on Volvo bones and aimed at the Porsche Macan.  Lotus will introduce its mid-engined coupe during the first half of 2021, still according to Autocar, and sales will begin shortly after. It's too early to tell whether the model will be sold in the United States, but the company has previously indicated it wants to broaden its foothold in our market in order to grow, so we'd bet on seeing it here. This isn't the first time Lotus has tried to reboot the Esprit. In 2010, under the leadership of Dany Bahar, the company took the Paris auto show by storm when it unveiled five close-to-production concept cars including one that previewed a modern-day Esprit. The project was far too ambitious and none of the models shown in the French capital made it to production. In 2012, Lotus vehemently refuted rumors claiming it had canceled the Esprit, which was penciled-in for a 2013 launch, but hindsight is 20/20. Time will tell if two's the charm.
