Full Description: 2004 LOTUS ESPRIT V8 FINAL EDITION FINISHED IN BLACK WITH RAFFIA (TAN) LEATHER WITH A CHECKER BOARD PATTERN WITH RAFFIA SEAT PIPING 3.6L 8 CYLINDER TWIN TURBO 5-SPEED MANUAL REAR WHEEL DRIVEFINAL EDITION! SAVINI BLACK DI FORZA WHEELS!This Lotus was imported into the states by Lotus Cars USA inc. The receiving dealer was Lotus of Greenwich, CT. They sold the car back in April of 2004 to the first customer that lived in New Haven, CT.It has been 10 years since Lotus ended production of their most iconic and longest produced vehicle of all time!!
