Turbo was rebuilt at 67,000 by magestic turbo.
New custom made carpet was installed a year or so ago,perfect.
New headliner was installed at the same time.(a normal espirt problem,sorted!)
New leather below front windsheild installed also.(a normal esprit problem,sorted!)
The interior work was done by a guy that has done cars in Hot Rod ect.(He is the best,period)
The engine runs as it should,gears all shift smooth and reverse works as it should.(you have to pull up on the shifter for reverse!)
The air conditioner has never worked,needs recharging im sure.
It has 70,000 original miles,I have only put 3,000 since ive owned the car.
The owners manual has the orignal service documents from long beach california stamped by the dealership,ill include pictures of that.(very cool!)
I also include parts manuals and service manuals,very expensive if purchased separately.
Besides the air conditioner,the relay for the bright lights doesnt work,front headlights only work on dim.(You have to get that relay from England,Ill include the guys in Atlanta,GA phone number,they can get it.
I just reworked the headlight motor gears,thats lift the headlights,another esprit problem sorted!
This car drives straight and perfect.
The turbo is strong and correct,but I stay out of it and always have,this thing has been babied,and i continued that tradition.
The seats are way above average for this year model.
This is the last true lotus,GMC bought lotus in 1989 and promptly put a trans-am steering wheel in the cars,really an ugly move,but they had to have an air bag.
The original MOMO is so nice,one of the nicest things about driving the car.
As far as bang for the buck,this thing has been reliable and a joy to own.
I just need an every day driver for now,and i will use this sale for that purpose.
THANKS FOR LOOKING,I HATE TO SEE THIS ONE GO!

The main two thing the car needs is the air conditioner needs recharging.

The bright head lamp relay doesn't work,you have to order from a LOTUS dealership.(dim lights are fine.)

Its a great car,and has never failed to start the entire time I have owned it.

Lotus rolls out factory delivery program for Elise, Exige and Evora

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

Lotus hiring 100 after securing lb100m investment

Fri, 02 Aug 2013

Lotus is getting a shot in the arm courtesy of corporate parent DRB-Hicom, which has announced a 100-million pound ($152.3M USD at today's rates) investment in the Hethel, UK-based manufacturer. The troubled brand was also in the news last week, with DRB announcing a new, three-year plan that would see variants of existing models introduced.
The money will create 100 new jobs in Hethel, with 45 new engineers, 40 manufacturing operatives and 18 university grads joining the team. Lotus has already seen an uptick in sales this year, according to a Norfolk-based news site, with 40 to 45 cars being produced per week and 722 road cars and 45 race cars sold between January and May. Even sales in the UK have seen a big jump - Lotus only moved 70 units in 2012, but it's already sold 80 cars in the first half of 2013.
Better yet, Lotus is citing an increased demand for its cars around the globe as the motive behind the new hires. While still quite uncertain, Lotus looks like it might finally be on the right track.

Lotus bankruptcy case dismissed in UK

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Times have not been easy for Lotus lately, so when its name came up on a list of companies scheduled for a liquidation court, it seemed like the end could be near for the fabled British builder of lightweight sports cars. As it turns out, Lotus was on the Companies Court Winding Up list in the UK due to a contractual dispute with a supplier, and the High Court has since dismissed the case.
According to Autocar, Lotus and the supplier actually resolved their issue earlier in the year, but the process couldn't be stopped until seen by a judge. The report says that the case was initiated when Group Lotus failed to pay some of its debts, which is probably a fair indication that Lotus is far from out of the weeds in regards to its financial difficulties.
