Vehicle Description
CAR STORED IN MASSACHUSETTS. Check out this 1992 Lotus Esprit SE
Turbo High Wing brought to you by Zoom Classic Cars. This
exceptional and gorgeous exotic beauty was one of 172 built in 1992
with only 12 imported to North America. None were imported to the
US. The car is in excellent condition and has been meticulously
maintained and always stored in heated storage by the owner.
Originally purchased in 1992 by the Sales Manager from the Weissach
Lotus dealership in British Columbia Canada and then acquired in
the US by the current owner in 2016. The current owner completely
rebuilt the engine and has driven it less than 1000 miles since the
rebuild. This Lotus is powered by a 2.2-liter dual overhead cam,
turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that produces an estimated 264hp at
6,500 rpm. The strong engine is mated nicely to its smooth shifting
5-speed manual transmission. The exterior of this vehicle is silver
and has a brand new black leather interior. The interior features a
wraparound driver\'s-side dash that has full VDO instrumentation
and wood grain details. The car also has its factory alloy wheels
with "Lotus" cast into one of the five spokes of each. Standard
equipment includes power steering, power windows, air conditioning
and premium AM/FM stereo. The dramatic and instantly recognizable
High Wing spoiler is seamlessly integrated into the styling, and a
glass roof adds to the Esprit's driving pleasure. It is reported
that only 625 Lotus Esprit SE Turbos were ever produced from
1992-1996 and only a few SE models built in 1992 were equipped with
the optional sunroof. All of the Esprits were built by hand one at
a time. This particular car has had a complete Frame on restoration
