Lotus Esprit Turbo X180 When first launched this model Esprit received a state-of-the-art turbo upgrade that gave the mid-engined sports car blessed with supercar styling….with it. This Lotus model was now touching supercar territory. With all the handling, style and finesse of the standard Esprit but with genuine supercar-challenging performance The extra 50bhp over the normal 2.2-litre Esprit comes from a Garrett T3 turbocharger, though the entire engine was re-engineered to with the additional power and torque. In 1985 the suspension was revised to use more Toyota and fewer Triumph parts, thus making it easier to keep on the road. Giugiaro is said to have liked the new shape, claiming it was perhaps too close to his original design. The exterior changes were accompanied by a redesign of the interior that gave more space to the occupants. The revised Esprit was not given a new “Series” number but is often called by its project code of X180. Panels for the body were produced using a new process called Vacuum Assisted Resin Injection.

Iconic V8 SD1 Rover Futuristic looks, modern steering, good handling, practical hatchback, excellent spares, and specialist support, V8 performance, and still excellent value makes the SD1 a must-have. The choice of pursuit vehicles for the police in the 80’s. After the SD1 went out of production there are few really good survivors (this is one of them). They’re going up in value and appeal as the SD1 begins to become appreciated by collectors. The SD1 was a revolutionary Rover with daring fastback styling, and a lightweight unstressed V8 up-front. The car was improved constantly during its life, so the final models were fast, appealing and genuinely desirable. This is a really nice example with very low mileage and low owners  supplied with a superb documented service history and in need of little attention Service record – read and believe! 1001 miles 6483 miles 12328 miles 17378 miles 19175 miles 20480 miles 22187 miles 24182 miles 25777 miles 27824 miles 29565 miles 31082 miles 32541 miles 33092 miles 33815 miles 33199 miles 34044 miles 34959 miles 35084 miles 35399 miles 35608 miles 35694 miles 35764 miles 35788 miles 35806 miles 35840 miles 35859 miles Other 35764 – Brake Fluid, Battery 34735 […]
