Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1986 Lotus Esprit Turbo
for consideration. This rare, practical supercar with exotic
styling is coming to you in Calypso Red that shines like a mirror
and is paired with the original, excellent condition Tan Connelly
leather interior. This Lotus has been meticulously maintained by
the previous owners and it features its original Silver BBS wheels
wrapped in BF Goodrich Radial T/A 235/60/R15 and 195/60/R15 tires.
It features just over 42,500 miles on the engine and body and truly
runs just as it did the day it drove out of the factory. This
Condition 1 Lotus is currently being maintained by one of the ones
in charge with diagnostic development and the service manual writer
for the Esprit back in 1986 and offered his services to the new
owner. Some key services that have been performed over the past 3
years include; throttle cable and housing, shifter pivot bushing,
head lamp motor service, flywheel, clutch and transmission, brake
system bled, drivers power window switch, weather-stripping on
doors - receipts for all of this have added up over $10,000 and
will come along with the vehicle.
This 2.2L Type 910 Turbo Engine with 5-speed gearbox has the
"rare", more powerful 215HP HCI (high compression injected) variant
that added Bosch Ke-Jetronic fuel injection, a catalytic converter,
thus becoming the first injected Lotus. With a total production of
215 in 1986, this Lotus built in February of '86 is one of, if not
the first fuel injected Esprits on the market. Features include
lift-off roof panel, original AM/FM cassette stereo, air
conditioning (currently needs a recharge), and power windows. This
Lotus has received many awards, some larger ones; Multi-State
Battle of the Brits Winner and also the 2014 Detroit Autorama
winner in the Foreign Sports Class. To get more information on this
