I thought you’d like a look at this nice, low mileage, 1988 Lotus Esprit SE Turbo. It’s powered by the turbocharged 2.2 L, putting out 215 HP. Because of the…

I bet you don’t see too many Lotus’s in Illinois? It’s a pretty nice one
but i rather have the white or copper colored Lotus Turbo Esprit from the
1977 & 1980’s James Bond movie.

damn pretty

james chapman says:

I am very interested to see those rear lights- are you able to tell me
where they are from or who made them? I would like a set on mine as I dont
like the originals but like the round ones less. It has the wrong bumper
for an SE by the way to those asking but the exhaust is right exit so its a
later standard turbo. Dont be fooled by the cheap purchase price- they cost
just as much as a ferrari to run- I should know. Still less than a 91
though. thanks

@2024JayZ Very true…….thanks for checking it out!

RamblinAround says:

@JakeDaSnakeFilms Thanks for taking a look!

nopehopenopehope says:

thats a nice lotus

RamblinAround says:

@1gamoguy Yeah, that would be enough to make me not want it…lol I never
was a big fan of the Probe.

1gamoguy says:

nice car, but i cant get over the fact it reminds me of an early 90’s ford
probe lol

The Rebel 22 says:

Geus what ?? My favorit color……

RamblinAround says:

@SCBianchi It really is a bargain at that price. Thanks for checking it out!

RamblinAround says:

@Busia1949 I’ve done a couple of those in the past, but it probably is time
for another tour of each one. Each place is definitely a little different
and the quality of the cars varies between them too. Thanks for watching
and commenting George, I appreciate it!

RamblinAround says:

@pulse0000 Yeah, I don’t come across a Lotus very often. Thanks for taking
a look at it. Was that the bond car that turned into a submarine?

The Shade Tree Fix-it Man says:

Would you consider doing a walk around through each of the places that you
do your auto investigations? I think you may have done it for one of them
already, but it would help to put “context” to the various cars that you
post. There is definitely a difference in the maintanence of the cars as
well as the settings in the different places that you frequent. BTW, a
really nice Lotus. A real classic! Thanks for sharing, George

15k for that car! What a bargin!!

RamblinAround says:

@paradoxdesigns It was that quick even without an intercooler on it. You
slap on one of those and make a couple of other tweaks and it would be
seriously fast. Just a year or two after this one, they were going 0-60 in
the mid 4’s.

pulse0000 says:

@RamblinAround The white one was the one that turned into a submarine.

2024JayZ says:

Gotta love it in Cardinals Red 🙂

Capt. John's Bar says:

Everytime i hear the word Lotus, I think of the movie pretty woman

RamblinAround says:

@phill903 Yeah, it really is low mileage for the year. It should have a lot
of good years left. Thanks for checking it out!

RamblinAround says:

@GeneralGHustler Yeah, you definitely don’t see those much anymore.

RamblinAround says:

@nopehopenopehope Thanks for watching!

RamblinAround says:

@josderedneck22 Glad you like it Jos!

Bevoin1970 says:

Very tasty! i want it, if only… 🙂

RamblinAround says:

@robertjdm It definitely is cool. Thanks for checking it out!

RamblinAround says:

@RESET1776 Yeah, it’s definitely not the roomiest car in the world. Thanks
for taking a look at it!

Gabe Musashi says:

reagan era super cars, love em. i dig the newer v8 versions a bit better
for the simple fact that they’re faster 😛 ooh the testarossa is my
favorite all time ferrari, although if i had the means i’d have a hard time
deciding between one of those and a 550 barchetta. wow, not a terrible
price on it, amazing.

RamblinAround says:

@jammer96 Thanks for taking a look!

RamblinAround says:

@FatGuyWithAKatana Yeah, I’d still like to have a Testarossa one day. A lot
of people aren’t that impressed by them, but it’s the car I wanted when I
was in junior high. I think it was Miami Vice that got me started on
them…even though their’s was a fake one on a Pantera chassis.

James Eggerth says:

51 k on the clock is low millage very nice car.

RamblinAround says:

@azzarbprime1 Thanks for watching, Mike. It really does seem like a bargain.

paradoxdesigns says:

i always loved these when i was a kid. one of the fastest accelerating cars
of the time. glad to see ya checking out some imports! ya know how i love
em.

RamblinAround says:

@PonyPower71 Thanks for taking a look at it!

PonyPower71 says:

Nice ride even though they stay in the garage for repairs just as much as
you drive them.

Eddie boote says:

Yeap, and I couldn’t see a charge cooler, so not an SE, but still a nice
example of the Turbo model.
