2011 Lotus Esprit, 25k Miles, Outstanding Condition, Mechanic Owned, Records on 2040-cars
Commack, New York, United States
2001 lOTUS eSPRIT
This 2001 Lotus Esprit, Calypso Red over a Tan interior, is a three owner car in incredible original condition. It's most recent owner is a professional mechanic and true Lotus enthusiast. He has carefully maintained and preserved the car. As he told me, "I drive it like a Camry." The car was bought new at Lotus of Denver and then had one subsequent owner before coming to the east coast. Mechanically, the car has several
nice upgrades. The most noticeable are the genuine 3 piece HRE wheels,
which the previous owner purchased at a cost of over $4000. They are
stock size and the tires were replaced two years ago and still look
virtually new with only several hundred miles on them. The car is
equipped with a Tubi exhaust and sport cats, as well as blow off valves.
The car also runs a fully adjustable suspension with poly bushings. The
timing belt was replaced with a Gates belt 500 miles ago. Gates belts
are long lasting alternatives to the stock belts. The oil was also
changed with fresh Motul 500 miles ago, along with brake fluid (Motful)
and antifreeze (Mercedes Blue.) The car comes with great service records
and receipts. The car is being sold with a brand new factory clutch still in the box. The owner says the car does not need it, it's just something he bought to put on when the car needed it in the future. The nose and sills of the car are wrapped in a Star
Shield clear bra to protect it from the road. The overall condition of
the car is remarkable, with only a few minor signs of use, namely a few
small stone chips, the normal (but slight) wear to the driver's side seat bolster,
and a few small cracks in very edge of the front wheelarches because the
car previously wore 19 inch wheels. Other than that, the car is about as
immaculate as you could get for a 13 year old car with 25,700 miles on
it. The paint is absolutely beautiful and the interior looks practically
brand new. It has a clean carfax (see pics below.) According to the
previous owner car has never been tracked or abused in any way. I have not driven the car, but the owner says it drives excellent. The car comes with all its records, its original window sticker, a fitted car cover, as well as a number of items for the next tune up. Iridium plugs, plenum gasket, plug wires, etc. A new clutch for the car is also available for an additional cost, for future use. The car, as with all my vehicles, has a clean and clear title transferred properly through my dealership. Please call 631-318-0155 with any questions.

NHTSA investigating Lotus Elise for oil leaks
Mon, 25 Jul 2011The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has received 17 complaints about an errant oil line in the Lotus Elise, and thus, has opened an investigation. The issue concerns the line on the front right cooler, which, having got loose, sprays oil either on the wheel or inside the engine bay.
This investigation pertains to around 4,400 of the little track-day wonders sold in the 2005 and 2006 model years. There have been no injuries, but one car did leave the road and catch on fire. A NHTSA investigation doesn't mean a full recall has been issued, just that your friends in the fed are looking into the matter.
Lotus Elise, Exige recalled over oil line fire risk
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Lotus is recalling 451 examples of the Elise and Exige from the 2007 and 2008 model years. The cars in question, built from December 1, 2006 to October 31, 2007 could be affected by an oil cooler line that detaches from its fitting. If the line comes loose it could release oil onto the engine and possibly start a fire, or onto a tire and potentially cause a crash.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates the recall is expected to begin on March 4. Notified owners can take their cars to their dealers for repairs to the lateral oil cooler hose and hose fittings. You'll find the full release from the NHTSA below with more information.
Lotus Exige S gets automatic transmission option
Sun, 26 Oct 2014A vehicle as light and agile as the Lotus Exige is all about driver involvement, but those enticed by the nimble sports car's handling and performance who aren't keen on working a stick shift now have another option at their disposal.
Lotus has just announced the availability of an automatic transmission on both the Exige S and Exige S Roadster. For an extra couple thousand euros or pounds sterling, customers will now be able to order a six-speed automatic transmission. The two-pedal setup includes paddle shifters and Sport or Race modes that optimize shifting for "a more spirited drive."
Equipped with the slushbox, the Exige S Automatic is just as quick around Lotus' famous factory test track in Hethel, and even pips the manual version's 0-62 time by 0.1 second, now down to 3.9. Unfortunately, since the Exige isn't available Stateside anymore, however, American buyers can't get their hands on either version.
