1977 Lotus Esprit S1-Nice!
Up for sale and flash to the past is our 1977 Lotus Esprit S1.
Runs, drives, and stops great! 30,746 original miles, always
climate controlled garaged kept when not in use. All original
interior, time warp to 1977 and I can't tell you how great it feels to
drive this car if you are stuck in the 70's and 80's like I am, lol.
I've always been a huge fan of this car since the James Bond movie came
out, most notably "The Spy Who Loved Me" August 3rd, 1977.
Lotus 2.0L 4 cylinder engine runs like a sewing machine and the
C35 5 speed transmission shifts through all the gears with ease
including reverse. A true collector's car, stamp manufacturer date 3/77.
Engine 1973 cc, 160 HP, light car overall 1,984 lbs, top speed 133 mph.
Only 718 S1's in Lotus's production run so this is a rare bird.
Mechanical Maintenance: Oil/filter (full synthetic 15w50) changed 10/2/18, 500 miles. New gear oil, new fuel lines, and filters. Brakes serviced on 3/15/18, new pads. All
electrics work the way they should: flip up lights, side marker lens,
blinkers, and interior lights. All window motors, buttons, and windows
work as they should. Exterior:
The exterior is in stunning condition! This car has beautiful
design lines and eye catching no matter what angle. All original Calypso
Red holds a strong shine and Is professionally waxed every 6 months.
Newer performance tires (1,100 miles) and new wheel set to time
period and give this Lotus a sporty look. No accidents or body damage to
the frame or body. Car cover comes with the Lotus as well as
original spare tire, manuals, and booklets. Interior: The
interior is all original fabric, panels, and headliner. All
carpet in very good-clean condition, just a couple nicks. In amazing
condition and has been well preserved. I was sold just as much on the
interior as exterior because of its originality. The AC and heat
work great! Original Lotus radio, late 70's equalizer and radar
detector, and stock speakers!! I love it. Paperwork and Terms:
Clean, clear title and fully insured. All original manuals,
booklets, receipts of maintenance follow with the new owner.
