1985 Lotus Esprit turbo Unfinished project SOLD

1985 Lotus Esprit Turbo Unfinished project .
I purchased this from the last owner just over two years ago with the intention of finishing the project but the longer it goes on it seems I will never get round to doing it so its up for sale .
The interior was removed and wrapped and has been stored in my heated container [see picture] .
The last owner lifted the body off and rebuilt the chassis with new suspension etc underneath the car is like new.
He also stripped the interior out and engine with the intention of rebuilding the whole car like new but unfortunately never got round to finishing it .
The way it stands now is the body is loosely bolted to the chassis and the engine and box are also just sitting in the chassis as far as I know the engine is good but the turbo will need refurbishment .
when I collected the car we cleared out his garage so as far as I know I have all the parts that where removed from the car everything is boxed or wrapped .
The lotus also comes with a very large service history file and last MOT shows the mileage as 83371.
Please don't email me lots of questions if you are interested and would like to know more please call Mark on the details below or the details below

The donor car was a Ford Cortina II GT from 1969. In 1991 the first licence plate was issued on my name. I have owned the car ever since. The car is in perfect condition, ...
