1978 Lotus Esprit Base Coupe 2-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States
|
Here we have a 1978 Lotus Esprit S2, I have owned this car for many years but haven't had a chance to restore it yet. This beauty is complete, not butchered in anyway, original carbs, engine, engine cover, interior, etc. Its been stored in a completely dry garage under its cover.
The car needs total restoration but being an S2 will continue to rise in value. If you have been looking for a complete, stock S2 restoration project this is your car. I have a clear title for the car and its ready to go. The engine is not turning and will probably need a rebuild. The seats are shot but the rest of the interior is in shockingly good condition. The car has BRAND NEW tires on it, not junker tires but the stock size BF goodrich tires. I hate storing cars on flat tires so it was worth the investment. They cost over 700 dollars. Please note, I will add interior pictures, and more engine pictures Saturday, the car is stored away from my house. So please don't email requesting pics, just check back Saturday. I will sell this car with no reserve, but have the right to end the auction at anytime as the car is for sale locally. If you buy this car I expect payment via paypal within 12 hours of the auction ending, DO NOT bid on this car if you do not have funds in place, and your wife, girlfriend, banker is cool with it. Also since this is a no reserve auction dont bid this car to 15k and then leave negative feedback based on its condition. That just happened to me on of all things, an accordion.. To make it clear, this car needs restoration, if you wish to come see it, I am in Colorado Springs and welcome an inspection, however once you win the auction, its yours, so please arrange to look at it first if you wish. why am I selling? Well I thought I would never sell this car, but found a 308 GTB I am hot after, so this and my 89 Esprit are probably going to go, I will keep an 85 Esprit. Again, payment is due via paypal no later than 12 hours after auction ends, if you dont agree with that, or understand that please don't bid. Also I will help load it and will even store the car for a while if need be, I can fedex the title to you when auction ends if you need it stored. Please excuse the filtered pics for the auction, I just snapped these in my driveway last year. I will upload detailed pictures Saturday. |

Lotus Evora S IPS automatic transmission option arrives in October [w/video]
Sat, 28 Jul 2012The Lotus Evora S IPS that the company showed drifting all around its test track earlier this year will be available in October, says Car and Driver. The kinder, gentler Lotus is fitted with the six-speed Intelligent Precision Shift transmission, an Aisin unit swiped from the Toyota Camry and retuned with Lotus electronics and actuators.
There are two 'regular' modes and two 'sport' modes on the IPS gearbox. The former include a traditional hands-off automatic and an auto mode with shifts handled by wheel-mounted paddles. The latter are a sport automatic setting that sharpens the car's responses and a manual sport mode for total driver control. The Evora S IPS hits showrooms in October. For now, you can take a look at Lotus' test driver giving it the beans in the video below.
Lotus confirms new Elise S Cup
Tue, 09 Sep 2014Head on over to the Lotus website, and though the Elise isn't offered in the United States anymore, buyers in other markets can choose between numerous models: there's the base Elise, the Elise Club Racer, the Elise S and the Elise S Club Racer, and that's before even getting into the even more extreme Exige that's also based on the Elise. Track-day enthusiasts can also go for the full-on Elise S Cup R, but now the British sportscar manufacturer has confirmed a new variant.
Called the Elise S Cup, it slots in between the CR and the Cup R as an extreme performance model that can actually be driven to the track and back home on public roads. The S designation tells us it packs the 1.8-liter supercharged four that already produces 217 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque in the existing Elise S, Elise S CR and Elise S Cup R, but as we saw when Lotus was testing the new variant around the Nürburgring, the Elise S Cup packs some key upgrades.
It's got an aero kit - including front splitter, winglets, side skirts, rear diffuser and rear wing - that's more aggressive than other road-going models (though apparently less extreme than the track-focused S Cup R), helping to generate 145 lbs of downforce at 100 mph and 275 lbs at top speed and besting the Elise S around the Lotus test track by an impressive three seconds.
Lotus Exige S Roadster coming this summer to a circuit near you
Wed, 01 May 2013We haven't heard much about the Lotus Exige S Roadster since we first saw it at the Geneva Motor Show last year, but Lotus is now confirming the car will go on sale this summer. Of course, unless anything has changed since the car was introduced, Lotus' "ultimate roadster" will still not be coming to the US.
Lotus has released a new video showing its 345-horsepower roadster in action, and while it doesn't even show that much of the car, you can check out our live images of the Exige S Roadster in our gallery. The video, which looks like a knockoff of a Universal Studios movie trailer, is posted below.
