Summary
This 29k-mile 1989 Lotus Esprit Turbo is a mechanically sorted and nearly all-original example with 22 years of maintenance documentation, including a recent timing belt replacement. While showing minor crazing and a respray on the passenger side, it is described as having great cosmetics and being the best driving Esprit the seller has owned. Notable issues include a cracked taillight, non-functional A/C, and an infrequent fuel smell.
