Vehicle Description
A 2000 Lotus Esprit V8 in black over red leather, VIN SCCDC0826YHA10089, with a five-speed manual gearbox. It shows 5,907 miles. The Lotus Cars Ltd., Hethel, Norfolk vehicle identification label in the front compartment carries the VIN with paint code B81 and trim code XX17; a matching VIN label sits at the base of the windscreen.
The Esprit was styled by Giorgetto Giugiaro and went into production at Hethel in 1976. Peter Stevens reshaped it in 1987, and the body he drew carried the car to the end of production. In 1996 Lotus fitted its own engine, the Type 918: a 3.5-litre all-aluminium V8 with four valves per cylinder, a flat-plane crankshaft and twin Garrett turbochargers, rated at 350 hp and driving the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle. Lotus built the V8 until the last Esprit left the line on 20 February 2004.
The body is black, with twin round pop-up headlamps, the Lotus roundel on the nose and tail, Esprit V8 script in the rear quarter windows, a V8 badge on the tail panel and the rear wing. The rear deck carries louvred engine-cover vents.
The wheels are OZ Racing Magnesio five-spoke alloys in grey, lettered Esprit, with Lotus centre caps. Behind them are drilled discs and red AP Racing callipers bearing the Lotus name.
The engine sits under the rear deck with red cam covers lettered Lotus. The front compartment holds the spare wheel, fluid reservoirs and fuse box.
Inside, the seats, door cards and lower dashboard are red leather, set against a black upper dashboard, console and Lotus airbag steering wheel. The instruments are white-ringed dials on a drilled aluminium-effect panel, the speedometer reading in miles per hour with a kilometre scale. The gear lever carries a polished aluminium ball knob, and the pedals are drilled aluminium.
No service records are held with the car at present. The record is the car itself and its Lotus identification labels. |
