2001 Lotus Esprit Twin Turbo V8

This auction is for a used 2001 Lotus Esprit. I purchased this out of California after it had an accident and performed the repairs myself. I got it in 2007 with 17. 79 miles. I replaced the front bumper. grille. passenger headlight pod. the passenger front wheel fender extension. nbsp;some of the radiator ducting pieces. While I had the car apart. I sent the radiator out for improvements and had it re-cored with a 3 row copper tubes (versus the 2 row that was standard). I upgraded the oil coolers to aircraft oil coolers that I purchased from Aircraft Spruce. If you go to their website. look for the Meggitt Tory oil cooler. This is very similar to what I installed. At time I got them. they were manufactured by PosiTech International and I have the original certificate of conformance. While I was at it. I upgraded the oil lines to a higher temperature rating hose. I replaced all the rubber bushings with the Lotus Polyurethane versions. This also included the rear trailing arm bushes. Go to the Lotus Esprit World forum (LEW) and look up under maintenance section and then for the Lotus polybush upgrade. While I had the suspension apart. I put in new upper and lower ball joints and POR 15 coated the front and rear suspension arms. I then replaced the brake fuid. After completing the body repairs. I drove to NJ and had RS Motorsports replace the cam belts and put in a new tensioner assembly and idler bearing. When it was there. the ECU was sent to Lotus to be reflash with upgraded software. That was back in April 2009 when it had 18. 92 miles (receipt available). A couple of years ago I added new tires: Hankook Ventrus V12 285/35/ZR18 for the rear and 245/40ZR17 for the front. Fast forward to 2014 and I added the 3m carbon fiber vinyl wrap to the bonnet and had the front of the car painted. I always liked the carbon fiber look (but not the price) and this was a relatively non permanent easy upgrade. Many pictures can be seen at http://s1280. photobucket. com/user/Medida/library/2001%20Lotus%20Esprit?sort=2&page=1 I have highlighted the pictures with titles to show specifics where the car is less than perfect The one driver's seat has a torn on the yellow piping. I have no idea on how this happen. as I purchased the car that way. The passenger side front wheel has some paint scrap marks. There is a scratch on the driver rear wheel fender extension. a couple of small cracks on the passenger capping rail and some small stone chips on the sill panels. The driver sill (the portion exposed when the driver door is open) has had some touch up paint (I got it that way. thought it was a funny place to have touch up paint). Other than that. the car is in very nice condition for its age (I never drove the car in the winter. For that matter. I never drove the car in the rain). The front of the car has little to no chips. being repainted within the last year. The car comes with one Key and one Key Fob and the audio system manual (see pics). The side windows have been tinted on the inside. The last picture on e-bay is prior to the repairs I made and shows the car at the insurance salvage yard The AC blows cold and the car has been trouble free. I recently picked up another Lotus Esprit as a project car (this was a 1986 Lotus Esprit that had a serious engine fire and is a long term project). Have to many toys so decided it is now time to sell my 2001 Lotus Esprit. The car shown in the pictures is the car for sale.
