A rare 1992 Lotus Esprit Turbo SE will be available for auction at Classic Car Auctions' June sale which takes place at the Warwickshire Exhibition Centre in Leamington Spa on the 18th of June.
You don't seem many Esprits on the road but what makes this one even more special is that is the 'High Wing' model. As the name suggests, it features a high rear spoiler and the car is one of only two original factory press cars. The car has done over 59,000 miles and is expected to sell for a price between £22,000 and £26,000.
The car comes in Calypso Red and inside you will find beige leather interior. The car is in good condition and comes with a valid MOT which is valid until the end of 2016. The Esprit had the most radical rear wing fitted to a Lotus at that point and it was the only car the Norfolk based manufacturer produced in 1992 following the last run of the Elan.
Speaking ahead of the sale, Guy Lees-Milne, general manager at CCA, commented “We’re huge fans of the Lotus Esprit, which perfectly encapsulates Colin Chapman’s philosophy "simplify, then add lightness”, in a supercar package. This car represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a really nice example of a rare model, which has obviously been well cared for.
“At CCA we specialise in offering special ‘everyman’ classic cars. This Lotus, with an attractive guide price, definitely fits the bill and will provide the new owner with a whole host of fun. The June Sale is our biggest to date with over 160 cars for auction, and we welcome fans of all the marques to come along and invest in a classic to love and enjoy,” concludes Guy.
