1978 Lotus Esprit S1 Description

I Ship worldwide. Shared container shipping to UK, Germany or The Netherlands is $1300 USD.



Beautifuland rare Lotus Esprit S1 with only 22,000 original miles.2.0L Lotus engine paired to a 5-speed manual makes this car a blast to drive! Recent repairs in the past few months include both carburetors completely rebuilt. Both gas tanks removed, cleaned and re-lined. The interior is almost like new featuring the original oatmeal cloth and brown Marcasite. The car starts up and drives without any issues. I have the engine cover and airbox for the car. Extra parts include two new brake rotors and pads. The original owners manual and a shop manual are included.


Negatives? First gear will pop out if you don't apply pressure on the gear lever. All the other gears shift properly. Gas gauge doesn't work. Paintwork is dull and the car will definitely need to be repainted.


I am not a dealer. I have a full-time job and buy and resell interesting and rare cars as a hobby. I've only had this car for two weeks so please keep that in mind when asking questions.

Thank you.
