Lotus Esprit S3 2.2 - advice please

[PGNSagaris]

Getting almost uncontrollable urges for a Guigaro Esprit and like the idea of a late, non turbo car on account of weight and complexity. To my mind.

Anyway. I am off to see one shortly, an ‘85 car on 60,000 miles, 5 owners and has recent service and clean MOT. A lot spent in last few 2-3 years, not far off £10k.

Seller asking £25k. Initially said it was worth £30k

This is a whole new world for me and I have no real idea if that is value or not. Could someone advise

Thank you in advance.

Ah, thank you. Will ask re belts and a PPI is a good idea. I always plan to have one then lose all willpower and just make an offer.

Will keep you updated

Bought it !!

Going away on holiday now for a while but hoping to collect on 4th June and take up to Donington.

Morning. Paid all the money. I’m a terrible negotiator!

If that's a non-turbo car, why's it got a turbo body kit?

Good spot. It has had the front spoiler and sills from the Turbo added but no other bodywork. And has both fuel filler caps

It was never publicly listed for sale…came through an introduction
