Preston Car delivery. Classic car transportation Lotus Esprit.
Thought It would interest some Lotus fans to see a few pictures of this fantastic Lotus Esprit. 1988 E reg in British racing green. In fantastic condition still sporting those original large profile tires. synonymous with its iconic looks.
The esprit is a magnificent car which manufactured by Lotus in the UK from 1996 up until 2004. Although 1st appeared in 1972 as a concept car in Turin.
Made by stretching the Europers chassis. It was one of the early Giorgetto Giugiaros polygonal Creations. And was nearly called the Kiwi. This was over ridden by the Lotus tradition in naming their cars with the letter E. And so became the Esprit.
There is so much history on this car. Ive added a list of its designers and models through its life span.
