DEPOSIT TAKEN


Lotus esprit turbo for sale needing full restoration as been sat outside on driveway for 15 years but was in good condition when parked up..... please read my quick story about this car below :

ok this is my dad's car which he has owned for around 16 years and many years ago his mental health suffered affecting him for a long time without seeking help and left him not fit to drive.
the car was parked up outside the garage and he refused to put it inside as he was "going to drive it some time soon "
( never happened and not drove it since his health suffered )

every other year i tried to save this car from the elements, however my dad point blank refused to let me touch it... so me and my sister along with the entire street have had to watch this car perish in all weathers for around 15 years and i could not garage it or even put a sheet over it so was very frustrating, anyway that's as much as i am prepared to discuss why the car has sat neglected for so long as not going to waffle..... what's changed ?
my father is now in poor health and has recently accepted after some stern words off my sister to let the car go and let somebody salvage it or restore it so it is open to viewings and any offers will be considered but not accepted until we get the best genuine offer so please do not get in touch unless you are a lotus enthusiast as not got the time for timewasters or dreamers with 2 grand in their pocket after a quick flip who are clueless on what is on offer ok ?

the car is a lotus esprit turbo on v5 logbook registered to my dad at his address and got loads of paperwork
Year : 1988
Reg : B8 SRG
it's a 2. 2 charge cooled turbo engine.
just had a local friend mechanic get it started first time in 12 years after changing plugs & bypassing fuel tanks which have corroded and engine is fine but will need recommissioning but cambelt appears ok for start up to show any potential buyer.
quick inspection of car parts deteriorated as follows :
interior perished but no loss as the colour is dreadful in my opinion ?
headlights corroded in pods due to blocked drains ( couple removed a few years ago & put in boot )
windscreen rubber perished & wiper blade missing
both top door frames rotted
rubber door seals perished
electric windows stopped working from memory ?
needs battery ( got a large van battery to start the engine for viewings ok ? )
passenger door lock insecure ( scumbag broke into it )
surface rust on all suspension components & some mechanical parts
tyres cracking / perished
wheels need refurb
paint / laquer peeling / flaking
petrol tanks rotted......( found out by putting fresh fuel in which leaked out everywhere ? )
probably more.....?
i have been informed the chassis is perfectly fine and the car has a stainless exhaust and has replica v8 alloys with large front / rear disc brakes and a s4 bodykit and v8 tailgate etc to be confirmed ?
this car was red originally then silver now purple / blue metallic..... needs full rub down / re-spray

this is a complete modified lotus esprit turbo requiring full overhaul / restoration sold as seen with all paperwork & v5 logbook

Registration : ( B8 SRG )

please do your research or have knowledge of this sort of car before contacting me to view ok ?
