This 1990 Lotus Esprit Turbo SE was incredible to see photographed in front of our new headquarters in Port Coquitlam British Columbia. The Esprit is painted in a rare New Racing Green with a gold leather interior and gold wheels beautifully complementing the green. This combination makes it one of four in North America. The vehicle was originally a USA car with Dan being the third owner.
The 2.2-liter turbocharged, 265 horsepower and 260-pound feet of torque pushes this car around each bend as the driver feels every dip and contour of the road through the manual steering. Dan is part of the Lotus Club of British Columbia formed in 1980 hosting an active group of 200 plus enthusiasts including one of our own. Ross owns the blue 1970 Lotus Elan +2 seen in the cover photo of the calendar.
