• The CD player had just ceased to function. Radio still works.
• I have not replaced the single DIN unit, as generally people are quite particular as to what functions they want a new unit to have, so I will leave this to the new owner.
No tyrekickers. I expect you to know what you are looking at and the history of Lotus cars.
I will not entertain people that are thinking they will be getting a joyride.
Without a doubt, this has been one of the most reliable cars I have ever had the pleasure of owning and driving.
It is only due to a change in my personal circumstances that the car is now for sale.
I am listing the car for $95,000
I can assure any new owner, that I sincerely believe that you will enjoy this Esprit.
This may be the lowest kilometre Esprit S4 in Australia.
