1988 Lotus Esprit Turbo - Right Hand Drive
 

1988 Lotus Esprit Turbo - The very first Esprit Turbo's from October 1987, came with a Vulcan grey valance around the sills and front splitter. Later in spring 1988, the cars were painted all one color. Upgrades: K & N Air Filter fitted. I've upgraded the wheels to SE Turbo OZ Italia 7 spoke alloys Goodyear GSA s all round to improve handling. Alloys are 7J X 15 and 8.5J x 16 and tires are front 215/55/15, back 245/50/16. Problems: Oil leak from drive shaft seals. Steering rack gone. Gear linkage (no reverse gear, now sorted). Info: December 1987 Steven's X180, registered in Jan 1988. Car No: 0064 off production line. Work Done: Oil leak from drive shaft seals. All seals replaced. Gear linkage problem - no reverse gear. This was rectified.
