1978 Lotus Esprit S1

For sale at RM Sotheby’s, Monterey, California, August 25, rmsothebys.com Why buy it? As striking and stylish a piece of the Seventies as you’ll find, and still wearing its Wolfrace alloys. It’s had six owners and clocked 76,500 miles, but has also been carefully restored over 12 years so is now at least as good as it was when new. Very hard to find like this. Estimate £39k-£45k
