 This auction is for a used 2001 Lotus Esprit. I purchased this out of California after it had an accident and performed the repairs myself. I got it in 2007 with 17,679 miles. I replaced the front bumper, grille, passenger headlight pod, the passenger front wheel fender extension, some of the radiator ducting pieces. While I had the car apart, I sent the radiator out for improvements and had it re-cored with a 3 row copper tubes (versus the 2 row that was standard). I upgraded the oil coolers to aircraft oil coolers that I purchased from Aircraft Spruce.  If you go to their website, look for the Meggitt Tory oil cooler.  This is very similar to what I installed.  At time I got them, they were manufactured by PosiTech International and I have the original certificate of conformance. While I was at it, I upgraded the oil lines to a higher temperature rating hose. I replaced all the rubber bushings with the Lotus Polyurethane versions. This also included the rear trailing arm bushes.  Go to the Lotus Esprit World forum (LEW) and look up under maintenance section and then for the Lotus polybush upgrade. While I had the suspension apart, I put in new upper and lower ball joints and POR 15 coated the front and rear suspension arms. I then replaced the brake fuid. After completing the body repairs, I drove to NJ and had RS Motorsports replace the cam belts and put in a new tensioner assembly and idler bearing. When it was there, the ECU was sent to Lotus to be reflash with upgraded software. That was back in April 2009 when it had 18,992 miles (receipt available). A couple of years ago I added new tires:  Hankook Ventrus V12 285/35/ZR18 for the rear and 245/40ZR17 for the front.  Fast forward to 2014 and I added the 3m carbon fiber vinyl wrap to the bonnet and had the front of the car painted. I always liked the carbon fiber look (but not the price) and this was a relatively non permanent easy upgrade.

Many pictures can be seen at  http://s1280.photobucket.com/user/Medida/library/2001%20Lotus%20Esprit?sort=2&page=1   I have highlighted the pictures with titles to show specifics where the car is less than perfect 

The one driver's seat has a torn on the yellow piping. I have no idea on how this happen, as I purchased the car that way. The passenger side front wheel has some paint scrap marks. There is a scratch on the driver rear wheel fender extension, a couple of small cracks on the passenger capping rail and some small stone chips on the sill panels. The driver sill (the portion exposed when the driver door is open) has had some touch up paint (I got it that way...thought it was a funny place to have touch up paint). Other than that, the car is in very nice condition for its age (I never drove the car in the winter. For that matter, I never drove the car in the rain). The front of the car has little to no chips, being repainted within the last year.

The car comes with one Key and one Key Fob and the audio system manual (see pics)

The AC blows cold and the car has been trouble free. I recently picked up another Lotus Esprit as a project car (this was a 1986 Lotus Esprit that had a serious engine fire and is a long term project). Have to many toys so decided it is now time to sell my 2001 Lotus Esprit.

The car shown in the pictures is the car for sale.

Watch Lotus F1 team careen through a mall in Renault Twizy EVs

Sat, Nov 29 2014

The Lotus Formula One Team is sticking with drivers Romain Grosjean and Pastor Maldonado next year, but it's dropping Renault as an engine supplier in favor of Mercedes power. The 2014 F1 season is barely over, though, and that mean's there still a little time left to put those marketing dollars to work, while still having a little fun, too. To that, Renault has put Grosjean and Maldonado behind the wheel of two Twizy electric cars and unleashed them on The Dubai Mall for an ad for the little buggies. The place is one of the world's largest shopping centers, and it also houses an aquarium, an ice skating rink and even a dinosaur. It's a big place, and unsurprisingly, the two F1 pilots drift the little buggies with ease around every part of the complex. Grosjean even gets some time on the ice. Check out the ad for the quirky EV in the video above.

Kimi Raikkonen to miss rest of season for back surgery

Sun, 10 Nov 2013

Formula One drivers keep themselves in peak physical condition, such are the demands placed on them in order to do what they do. But otherworldly as their capabilities may be, they're still human, and that means they get injured or sick just like the rest of us.
Case in point: Kimi Raikkonen and the announcement made today by Lotus that he'll have to sit out the rest of the season in order to undergo back surgery. That means Lotus will have to find a replacement driver for the last two races in Austin and Brazil while Kimi has and recovers from the operation.
Though we wouldn't debate the legitimacy of Kimi's condition or the necessity to rectify it, the timing is sure to raise some eyebrows. Raikkonen has been at the center of a pay dispute with Lotus, and while the situation was reportedly resolved, his decision to undergo what is said to be elective surgery at this point in the season (as opposed to waiting until its end) raises some questions as to his commitment to the team he is leaving and his team's financial commitments to him in turn.
