For Sale on Ebay Dec 2011
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330661715287?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648#ht_674wt_1396
Here we have a 1977 Lotus Esprit S1 which has been modified by the previous owner to include several interesting body design elements including the original rear quarter vertical vent slats which appeared on the original Lotus Esprit prototype the M70, and lower sill panel gills to aid in airflow into the engine bay.. As such this is NOT a car for Lotus purists who desire an untouched, unmodified body and or interior.
It is however a car on it's way to becoming a one-of-a-kind show car. The S1 had the unique recognizable angular lines that made the 007 car famous, which remains in this car, with additional thousands of dollars in finish work to maintain the look of the car, but bring other design elements to it. First, the original body from Lotus was made in halves (top and bottom), then sandwiched together with a trim piece to hide where the two halves met. On this car, this has been smoothed out so that the trim piece is eliminated and the body is unified. I must say a really nice job that was done on that.
Other modifications to the body include lower sill "gills", and as I mentioned previously the custom "intake" style rear quarter vents, Frenched license plate area, front spoiler and more. The body of the car is really great. The body is in gray primer awaiting some additional sanding and paint.
I bought the car at the stage you see it in in these photos. It has a fresh 907 engine with matched number Dell'Orto DHLA 45 carburators and Citroen transaxle with reportedly less than 1000 miles on them. They were rebuilt at Viking Motorsports in Costa Mesa, CA. The engine was rebuilt to race level quality.
The previous owner had plans to replace the interior, so it has been removed. He reupholstered the door panels and seats using a black/orange leather, there is also a roll of each of those materials for additional dash center tunnel covering as well as a roll of high quality black carpet to finish the interior.
The car obviously has custom wheels/tires. The body flares were widened to accommodate the wider tires. It is very tastefully done. It has a custom made gage panel with some Stack quality gauges. The car has dual racing fuel cells (of course runs on pump gas), a high end ignition, It also has a cabin operated Halon Fire suppression system....and a high performance radiator.
In addition, the previous owner purchased the parts for, and remodeled the "boot" to allow the installation of a later Esprit Heater/AC system A/C (not otherwise available in this year). The complete heater/AC system, A/C hoses, compressor and condensor are all there.
There is also a custom made aluminum hatch cover with the car as well as a turbo style rear hatch cover. Also a complete set of new rubber seals that were to go on after the paint, and many other factory Lotus re-assembly parts. I think there is close to every part required to put this car's interior back together.
I do not have the California Title, but do have the California License Plate for the car which should make obtaining a new title easy. Otherwise, I am selling this car as a project/parts car. The motor/transaxle rebuild alone was close to $10,000, and of course there are many other difficult to locate parts.
I really wanted to complete this car. I am selling it because I have three other Lotus Esprit's in various stages of restoration and frankly, this one just sits without any progress being done to it. I figure this there are guys out there who would love to compolete this project and own one of the most unique Esprit's anywhere. Or if you need an entire S1's car woth of bits, here you go.
Happy bidding!

Description for Lotus Esprit 1977
Offered for sale, from KURT TANNER MOTORCARS, is this early and desirable Lotus Esprit. This car was recently purchased off a New York dealer who acquired it from the widow of the believed original owner. This car appears to have been originally painted red, under the current black exterior paint. The interior trim looks largely original.The car runs off of a can of fuel (video coming soon). The bumpers have been deleted front and back, with some slight body modifications.The body on this car is quite good with nice aligning panels. There is some very minor repair needed towards the front/middle of the driver's door. The rest of the car looks pretty good. The black paintwork is older and is showing some chips/ general aging, but looks decent from 10 feet. The car needs a windshield replacement.The interior looks 100% and highly original, and is in quite decent order throughout, needing at least a headliner re-glue. The upwards or top facing vinyl areas have faded a bit, but everything still appears soft and supple, as it has been stored indoors.The underchassis shows some normal surface rust on some components. It's definitely clean and looks low mileage, especially up front with all of the undamaged fiberglass parts.The car still retains it's original 5 desirable Wolfrace alloy wheels, along with the mint original Dunlop spare tire, jack, handle, lug wrench in bag. The engine runs nicely on an exterior fuel feed. I'm sure it's going to need it's brakes and fuel system serviced before it's roadworthy, being in storage all of this time.Overall, a desirable and scarce Series One Esprit with believed very low mileage/few owners. After some general improvements, this car would look fantastic back in it's original colors, with it's crisp and attractive styling. These early Lotuses are becoming more desirable as of late, with their very low production numbers.
