saw this advertised by Anglia car auction at kings lynn, thought it would be of interest, here is a copy of the description.

We understand that this Esprit Turbo was supplied new to David Wickins, Chairman of both BCA and ADT auctions and at the time,  Chairman of Lotus Cars. The second owner purchased the car from Mr Wickins in October 1989. Finished in British Racing Green and black livery, that is believed to be a one-off, with green leather upholstery to the interior. Factory air conditioning. Two further keeper changes have occured, once in 2006 and for the last time in 2012.
Barn stored for several years, some restoration and mechanical work will be required before returning to the road. The histoy folder contains two service books, with seven service entries between them to 20,204 miles in 2006. A folder of invoices and nineteen old MoT certificates also come with the car. Last MoT'd and used on the road in 2008 with a recorded mileage of 29,031.
V5 present
Recorded mileage 31,000
