1986 Lotus Esprit S3 For Sale
C13 ESP has covered 80, 000 miles, has covered 8000 miles since major restoration work in 2005 and comes with an excellent history to include the cars original service book. Stamps are present at 6026, 15549, 26050, 31187, 35698, 42000 and 51855 miles. With a completed, fully stamped book the service books note pages then records all maintenance from 1995 to 2005. Services are recorded at 60k, 63k, 65k and 67k miles.
In 2005 at 72000 miles the Lotus had some major expenditure that included stripping down the body ahead of a complete re-spray. The seats and upholstery were completely re-trimmed, carpets and headlining replaced and externally the wheels were refurbished. The Esprit was then serviced, the cambelt changed, brakes renewed and the gear linkage bushes were replaced.
The most recent owner in Liverpool bought the Esprit in 2015 at 79000 miles and has covered 1000 miles in the car. During the last six years the car has been superbly maintained and kept in top quality cosmetic condition. Mechanical work includes new exhaust manifolds and gaskets, a new stainless steel exhaust system, new engine mountings, cam cover gaskets, rear lower link bushes, new rear brake pads, re-conditioned radiator and new alternator belt and cam belt. The most recent owner also had the Esprit re-painted once again, well over ten years on since the previous cosmetic work.
C13 ESP is a superbly presented car, the paintwork is of a beautiful standard, the panel work excellent and the car delightfully detailed having been meticulously maintained and only brought out in fine weather for events and the occasional weekend run out. The upholstery is stunning over fifteen years on since the re-trim and mechanically the Lotus is on the button, driving superbly with a super fit engine and gearbox. This is a great buy, it has good quality history back to new, has had the required cosmetic attention and mechanical maintenance as required. This Lotus Esprit S3 won't disappoint and must be seen to be fully appreciated.
