1978 Lotus Esprit S1

This 1978 Lotus Esprit S1, a timeless classic from the marque's iconic line-up, epitomizes British automotive craftsmanship with its distinctive wedge-shaped design, fibreglass body, and legendary rear-mounted engine configuration. Its sleek, aerodynamic profile is accentuated by hidden headlights behind Plexiglass covers and iconic split rear wing. This Esprit, a true driver's car, delivers raw performance through its 2-litre four-cylinder engine producing approximately 160 horsepower, channeled through a five-speed manual gearbox. Originally priced when new at £4593 (around $7700 USD then), it was among the most advanced and desirable sports cars of its era, now coveted by collectors worldwide for its combination of style, rarity, and driving experience.
