About this 1999 Lotus Esprit GT3
This 1999 Lotus Esprit GT3 is one of only 196 GT3s produced and one of just two finished in orange. Fewer than five Esprit GT3s are in Australia, so examples rarely come up for sale here. It is a right-hand-drive car with a manual gearbox and 88,000 miles on the odometer.
The Esprit was Lotus’s wedge-shaped sports car, made famous in the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me and later seen in Pretty Woman. The GT3 was one of the final versions of a model that ran for nearly 30 years, and it follows Colin Chapman’s approach of performance through light weight and handling rather than outright engine size.
