1978 Lotus Esprit S1

This striking 1978 Lotus Esprit S1, manufactured in the United Kingdom and brought to life during an era marked by disco and punk music, is an eye-catching blend of British craftsmanship and timeless design. This classic gem from Hethel boasts a distinctive silhouette with its pop-up headlights concealed beneath the hood, adding a touch of elegance when retracted. It retains its original California registration plates since its acquisition in 2012, a testament to its continuous appreciation by enthusiasts of vintage automotive charm. Drivet by a robust inline-four engine displacing 1973 cubic centimeters and mated with a smooth-shifting five-speed manual transaxle gearbox, the Esprit's power is harnessed for spirited drives along winding roads or city cruising in Pinole, California.
