We are pleased to offer this rare Lotus Esprit Series 3 (Type 82), delivered on November 7, 1985.


Produced between 1981 and 1987, this version is powered by a 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine producing 163 hp. It still delivers very respectable performance today, with 0 to 100 km/h in 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 222 km/h. Fuel is supplied by Dell’Orto 45 carburetors.


With a light weight of approximately 1,150 kg and a perfectly balanced mid-engine layout, this Lotus is known for its sharp and agile handling. It corners flat and delivers driving sensations comparable to those of a large go-kart.


Our example was serviced in March 2026. A major mechanical service was also carried out in 2019 by a Lotus specialist for more than €7,000. The five-digit odometer currently shows 43,500 km.


The bodywork is in very good overall condition, with only a few minor stone chips, mainly at the front. The chassis is solid and free from corrosion.


The interior is also in excellent condition. The upholstery has been custom-made and presents beautifully.


With its timeless design by Giorgetto Giugiaro, the Lotus Esprit S3 is a rare car, with only 1,053 examples produced. It offers a very engaging driving experience without the need to drive at high speeds. Maintenance costs remain reasonable and the engine is known for its reliability.


The vehicle is offered on consignment and can benefit from a one-year warranty.


Available for viewing by appointment only in Clichy, with easy access via Metro Line 14.

This vehicle is sold with a warranty.
