Estimated at £30,000 - £35,000
Lot details
Registration No: W386NTX
Chassis No: SCCDA0825YHC10032
Mot Expiry: Aug 2013
The Sport 350 was arguably the most exclusive of all Esprit models, only 54 of which were manufactured between 1999 and 2001. The emphasis was on performance by weight reduction and, thanks to both a lightweight bodyshell and special magnesium Crono O.Z. wheels shod with Pirelli P Zero tyres, the Sport 350 was 85kg lighter than the V8 GT on which it was based. It also had larger AP Racing discs all-round plus 4-pot callipers on the front. The suspension included Monroe 65 dampers, stiffer springs and an uprated anti-roll bar. Most examples were finished in Silver and featured a carbon fibre GT1-style rear wing, 'Sport 350' graphics on the doors and sill plates, hip-hugging seats with Black bolsters and Blue alcantara facings, and further touches of Blue throughout the passenger compartment and engine bay. With 350bhp on tap, the model could hit 60mph in just 4.7 seconds.
This "1st class one owner" Sport 350 is number 39 and was supplied new in 2000 by White Dove Garages to a long standing customer as an addition to his Lotus collection. Dry stored under a tailored cover, it has apparently covered just 8,006 miles to date and comes with factory added air conditioning, rear wing, and Alpine speakers and ICE system. A very rare opportunity.
