"Price With Carplate Is Negotiable!"

 

Mate, don't think it comes with that plate lar. Still, certainly a headturner if ever there was one! Personally, I won't go for it 'cos it ain't original no more. In fact, it's almost unrecognisable as a Lotus Esprit Turbo. It's predecessor the S1, is a car with iconic filmstar status for it's role in the classic 1977 movie "James Bond - The Spy Who Loved Me"!

 

You'll have to fast forward to around 3:30 of the below video in order to see just why it's so famous!

 

 

For a car from that era, it's value lies in it's originality. Also, I would've liked to personalise the car myself. Not buy over someone else's handiwork -_-

Well, sure it's plastiky. Even the original body was constructed completely from fibreglass! As a fan of the old skool, love it's original polygonal "folded paper" styling by Giugiaro.

Not worth. If just looks that you want,

Rather get a jap sports car (MR-2)

And give it the same treatment.

 

Sg just dont have parts for these type

Of cars. Actually, i chance upon a

DMC few days back. Damm , that

Was priceless.

Agreed! ...... botht he Mark 1 and Mark 2 belong to the folded paper design concept........ 3 years ago i sat in one, quite comfy but blind corners may make parking or driving on narrow streets / corners not so easy.

 

I have driven another similar Lotus classic (Eclat?) and the feels were good (like most Lotus models)

 

The 'disfigured' bodywork has greatly reduced its value / charms / modern-classic lines as compared with the original shape (my opinion only)
