Lotus Esprit Turbo
A bit more like it
My second Esprit was a 1989 Turbo which I bought in 1996 from Barry Ely
Sports Cars in Leyton, London. As you can see, it has a rather 70’s leather
interior.
It had AC and a glass sunroof which you can take out and stow in the boot if
you can pass the Krypton Factor like test to make it go in.
Wing
Later
I
added
a
Sport
300
wing
but
unfortunately
I
don’t
have
a
picture
with
it fitted.
