DESCRIPTION
Finished in Chrome Orange metallic, this is one of just 197 GT3 Esprit built.
The car is an amazing machine, with the GT3 being widely held as one of the best handling Esprit ever, in fact Autocar of 1997 described it as Britain's Best Driver's Car!
The 2.0 litre four-cylinder Type '920' 2.0 litre chargecooled and turbocharged engine (which had been used only in Italian market cars previously) develops 240bhp which enables the car to dash from 0-60mph in 5.1 seconds before reaching a maximum of 163.5mph.
This model Esprit has to be driven to be truly appreciated and has superb road-manners when driven briskly. Very responsive power-steering, fantastic braking, A/C, removable targa roof and an excellent sound system.
First registered in April 1999, the car is offered with a good history file from Lotus specialists supporting the replacement of suspension, cam belt, clutch & flywheel and an up-rated Brembo brake disc kit. This particular GT3 is a testament to the care and attention lavished on it by it's previous owners and is a joy to drive, particularly when so well supported in the race style bucket seats.
Supplied with MOT until 02.02.2013 and with most of the past certificates included to verify the mileage and support the cars very low usage over recent years.
Currently registered on SORN.
A rare, stunning car both to look at and drive!
