For Sale: 1991 Lotus Esprit in Savannah, Georgia

Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this 1991 Lotus Turbo Esprit SE. This Esprit is finished in white over black leather and is showing just under 45,000 miles. It has been with the current enthusiast owner in Georgia for two years. The Stevens-designed X180 Esprit debuted in 1988 and offered updated bodywork, interior and mechanicals over the outgoing Guigiaro S3 model. By 1991 the 2.2 liter turbocharged engine was making 264 horsepower and provided 0-to-60 times of under five seconds - still quick by today's standards but blisteringly fast 30 years ago.

This example runs and drives great and has benefited from new RC fuel injectors. Color matched, staggered 15- and 16-inch wheels are wearing matched Falken tires. Cold A/C. Spax coilovers. Paint quality is good overall but there are some imperfections in the finish and the fiberglass. Interior shows normal wear but remains in presentable condition.

A previous listing claims the timing belt was changed in 2015 and it does have the blue Gates belt installed, but it is likely due for service at this point due to age. One fuel tank has been bypassed. A new Nardi steering wheel was recently installed and the original airbag wheel is included along with service manuals, some records and factory jack.
