One-Owner 1978 Lotus Esprit S1 Project

bringatrailer.com

This 1978 Lotus Esprit S1 is a non-running project that was purchased new by the current owner in Des Moines, Iowa. The factory 2.0L Type 907 twin-cam four is paired to a 5-speed manual gearbox and is said to remain unmodified. Showing just under 15k from new, the car was last driven by the owner 10 years ago and the crank is said to move freely when turned manually. Records included the original bill of sale, and the car is offered on consignment by the selling dealer with a clean Indiana title in the current owner’s name.

Light weight, good aero, awful non-running engine, check, check, check – a perfect candidate for EV conversion!
