Lot details Registration No: D706FYK Chassis No: SCC082910HHD12473 Mot Expiry: Oct 2013
Notable as `Number 04' from a limited edition run of 21 Guigiaro-styled Esprits that Lotus produced before phasing-in its more rounded, less iconic Peter Stevens-penned successor, `D706 FYK' is understood to have had just two keepers and covered a mere 47,000 miles from new. Finished in Cherry Red over Calypso Red with Cream / Brown leather and suede upholstery, the supercar also retains such identifying features as a colour-coded engine cover (normally black), solid silver dashboard plaque confirming its limited edition status / number and polished (rather than painted) BBS alloys. Described by its custodian of 25 years as being in "excellent" condition with regard to its turbocharged HC engine, five-speed manual gearbox, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork (while, he rates the electrical equipment as "good"), this ultra-rare Lotus was entrusted to renowned marque specialist Paul Matty for a cambelt change within the last 1,000 miles and has been freshly MOT'd.
