Introduction
Dom Ginn
A special iteration of the legendary Lotus Esprit, known for its blend of supercar performance and classic British sports car design.
The Esprit line itself, first introduced in the 1970s, has always been synonymous with sleek, wedge-shaped styling, and the S4S model, in particular, brought significant improvements to both its aesthetics and performance. The design of the Esprit S4S maintained the sharp, angular lines of the earlier Esprits but added subtle refinements like a more aerodynamic front splitter and a rear wing for better downforce. Inside, the car featured leather upholstery and modern amenities for its time, with the main focus clearly on performance. At the heart of the Esprit S4S is a 2.2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine with impressive performance figures. Given the car's lightweight chassis, this power output allows for exhilarating acceleration, with a 0-60 mph time of around 4.6 seconds. Driven by the rear wheels, a five-speed manual gearbox gives the Lotus a raw and engaging driving experience that enthusiasts seek.
This UK RHD example comes to market from ~1.5 year ownership. It has had ~£7,000 expenditure in recent years, is finished in a smart one-of-one colour combination, and has just had 6 former keepers. It presents well, and importantly has the performance to match too.
This listing was written from information supplied by Dom after meeting Daniel the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Ask Owner
Hi Dan,
Nice car, I would like to look at the previous Mot History but I need the Reg number please.
What’s the reason your selling your boyhood dream as you have only had for 18 months approx?
Cheers David
Good morning David
I think all the old MOTs are in the pictures and if you use the current reg it takes you as far back as 2007 and on the previous reg says plate not found. That plate can be found on early MOTs pictured I think M458MYL.
As for why am I selling it I have to admit to questioning my decision on a daily basis. The truth is I don’t get to use it as much as I want due to work the majority of the miles I’ve done were in 2 days where I drove from lands end to Ness Point through the night total 460 miles for charity add the milage there and back home think it was close to 900miles.
Hope this helps any other questions please ask.
Regards
Dan
Can I arrange to view the Esprit please?
I believe you need to arrange this through Trade classics. I will try and contact them tomorrow to check.
