    Default Lotus Esprit getting a lucky new owner

    After almost five years of tending to this Lotus Esprit’s good looks…. Its come time to be passed on.

    There is something about a Swedish hand-built car that grabs me by the heart. As walking away from it for the final time the realness of it started setting in…. I know the car is going to a great owner that will appreciate it as much as myself and the previous owner (A Great Friend) But I tell ya… It tugged at me…. This Lotus Esprit is extremely special and I could spot it out of a row of 10 just like it. A big “THANK YOU” to my friend and client who allowed me to detail it for so many years!!! She will be missed…

    The car is scheduled to be shipped this weekend to its new home in Texas.
