Details:

1988 Lotus Esprit Turbo
2.2 L 4-cyl, 5-spd
36,800 miles
All paperwork (window sticker, manuals, receipts (all the way down to brake fluid)
Extra set of wheels, same style but powder coated
New clutch master and slave cylinder, and clutch line, back in the Spring
New rear brake pads also this past Spring, front ones are OK but I have a new set in the box
New plugs, fluids (including coolant flush/fill) back in the Spring

Asking $21,900

I've had the car for 2 years and it has been amazingly rock-solid. I would trust it to drive anywhere. I'm parting with it for several reasons, but the main is how our kids can't go with us on drives. Call me a sappy Dad, but it does wear on you to watch your boys go immediately to the cars that have back seats at Cars and Coffee and say "Hey Dad, we can all go in this one." So there you have it. I'll miss it, but kids want to hang out with their parents for a short while and I'd like to take advantage of that while I can. It is such a wonderful car to drive and I'm sure that whoever ends up with it will love it as much as I have. Just e-mail me at themightyjanbur@gmail.com if you want some more pics or information. I can also be reached at 317-776-4916.

Just added some pics. Duz185, LOL, yes, it has been suggested of us before to just get an Elise and put one kid in each. It might be cheaper to just get one 4 seater though. :^)
