Any info - Esprit S4 Commemorative Edition

[Kitkat]

Hi all,

i have purchased a 1995 S4 GT esprit turbo commemorative model. It’s the green car with yellow wheels, apparently they made 11 of them to celebrate 11 victories in some racing series.

i can’t seem to find much info on this model. Does anybody know much about them?

cheers

I've worked on 2 of them.  Really nothing special about them other than they're all green, they had the yellow/ally 5-spoke Ruotes, they had red leather steering wheel covers and they were individually numbered, I believe near the filler flaps and on the glovebox?  Aside from that, bog-standard S4.

Nice to have another Lotus bling enthusiast on here!

Picture?

Could you mean the Jim Clark Commemorative Edition built for 1991?

20 made.

Listen to @Sparky

@Kitkat a beautiful looking car, love the slim sports seats in these limited run edition. The wheels on yours look after market, for a minute I thought they were 300 sport wheels, but it seems not. The brakes look like they have been upgraded too.

Which number edition is yours ?

   

[Kitkat]

You are correct about the wheels, the PO had them made, I have the originals. 
brakes, suspension and headlights have been upgraded. It is No 8 of 11.

only 36,500 miles

Ah yes, forgot about the seats.  Really high sides; the bolsters don't last long against in/out traffic.

Nice looking car @Kitkat!

Welcome to TLF, always nice to have another Esprit owner join us. Is this your first Lotus?

No, I owned a doer upper lotus excel… now sold without ever touching it😂

[Escape]

Did you get to drive the Excel? They're an excellent way to get into Lotus ownership, fun, reliable and underrated. 😉

[Kitkat]

No, unfortunately not. Long story but unfortunately I couldn’t be bothered and lack of mechanic skills made me make my mind up.
