Description
One of just 88 S2.2s produced, on offer from 40 years long term ownership, a previous Concours d'Elegance winner and remaining in outstanding condition. Leaving the Hethel factory in February of 1980, this S2.2 is has only had 3 owners from new the last ,who purchased the car from Bell and Colville in Surrey on 1st December 1984 with a recorded 21,000 miles. That’s some 40-years of single ownership, one of the longest we’ve seen! They had always wanted an Esprit and this happened to be the right car, at the right time, in the right place. Unfortunately, due to a growing family and the associated commitments, the car was put into dry storage in 1992 and remained there until recently, when it was subject to a full engine-out overhaul and rebuild by marque specialists, Maidstone Sports Cars, completed in December 2023 for a eye watering amount !! The S2.2 presents in wonderfully wholesome and original condition and is finished in its distinctive colours of Lotus Yellow with a green suede interior - it is fabulously 1980s. As a member of Club Lotus for many years, the car has attended shows across the country, with placings and a win at Donnington in 1989. The history file makes for lovely reading, including the purchase invoice from Bell and Colville, its original and fully stamped service book, (most recent in 2023), heaps of old MOTs, invoices for maintenance and
