The final iteration of the Esprit was introduced in 2002 and featured a redesigned tail panel with round taillights. This example is finished in Mustard Yellow and features a body-color removable roof panel as well as a rear wing, pop-up headlights, central dual-exhaust outlets, and a front lip spoiler.
Staggered-width 17″ and 18″ alloy wheels are mounted with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. Stopping power is provided by disc brakes with Lotus-branded AP Racing front calipers in addition to ventilated and cross-drilled rotors at all four corners.
The seats are upholstered in black leather with diamond-pattern stitching and yellow piping, while the dashboard, center console, and door panels are covered in black leather with yellow accents. Appointments include a tire pressure monitoring system, an Alpine stereo and aftermarket speakers as well as power windows and locks. The seller states that the top of the center stack was signed by Clive Chapman. The air-conditioning system was recharged in preparation for the sale.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts a 220-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The digital odometer indicates 31k miles, approximately 19k of which have been added under current ownership.
The mid-mounted twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V8 was factory rated at 350 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. The timing belts were replaced and the oil was changed in December 2022.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle. The seller reports the car is fitted with an aftermarket exhaust. Additional underbody photographs are presented in the gallery below.
