Most recent owner purchased this Esprit here at Park Place LTD / Lotus of Bellevue in 1996. 1 of only 339 S4 Esprits produced worldwide in 1994.
Just two owners from new, this 1994 Lotus Esprit S4 is an immaculately-kept, low-mileage example. It was actually sold to the most recent owner here at Park Place LTD / Lotus of Bellevue back in 1996, and has been in their collection for nearly 20 years. With just 36K on the odometer, it shows in superb condition and has been very well maintained with the timing belt replaced at 33,000 miles and a recent oil / radiator/ CV boot servicing.
This Esprit is presented in exotic Calypso Red over Black, and it features number of upgrades to bolster performance and reliability. A performance ECU has supplanted the factory unit (included with the car), braided stainless steel brake & clutch lines have been installed and the 5-speed manual transmission has been upgraded with an Esprit S4s clutch and lightened flywheel. Powering this Esprit is a turbocharged 2.2L I4 behind the seats developing a factory-rated 264hp/261lb-ft. Esprit S4s also feature a performance suspension, stainless steel exhaust and power steering -- a first for any Lotus Esprit model.
The Esprit received a minor facelift for the 1993 model year with minor changes to the exterior and much attention paid to refreshing the model's interior. This example showcases these updates with Connolly leather hides, air conditioning, power windows and locks, and AM/FM Radio and dual front airbags. This Esprit rides on 17" five-spoke wheels with Goodyear Eagle F1 rubber.
On file with the car are extensive service records that date all the way back to 1997, owner's books, a set of keys and CarFax history report.
With less than 340 produced worldwide in 1994, these Esprit S4 models are highly coveted among the Lotus community. Any enthusiast or collector would do well to add this example to their collection.
