1985 Lotus Esprit S3

Last MOT’d in 2013, when it looks like it drove straight home and stayed there, this desirable Lotus Esprit looks to be fully loaded with tasteful options and lots of history…

From the seller: “Car is a late S3 model with the NA engine.
Being a later S3 it has a slightly revised bodyshell with a redesigned upper rear tailgate opening and body coloured bumpers.
Only 1053 S3 models were built totally. I’m told only 70 odd were built of this specific type.

Car has its original Blaupunkt radio cassette player with 4 original speakers (option when new).
15 inch BBS alloys (again, these were an option when new).

Full glass opening roof.”
