OWN THE ROAD, OWN THE LEGEND The Only 1992 Lotus Esprit High Wing in Australia Photos: tinyurl.com/LotusEsprit1992 For enthusiasts of classic British sports cars, this 1992 Lotus Esprit Turbo SE ‘Highwing’ is a rare gem. As the only remaining Australian-delivered example from just 172 SE Highwing units ever produced, it’s a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a part of Lotus history. With registration valid until October 2025 and priced at a competitive $75,000, this stunning vehicle is now available due to the current owner’s regular commitments overseas. This is a car to be driven. A Legacy of Performance and Design The 1992 Lotus Esprit stands out with its 2.2-litre charge-cooled turbocharged engine, delivering an impressive 264 bhp. It was Lotus's first water-cooled fuel-injected model, propelling the car from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds, with a top speed of 165 mph. Famous for its lightweight precision engineering and handling, the SE High Wing embodies Lotus's 40-year legacy of performance excellence. This particular model features an upgraded and roomier interior, with wider-opening doors and improved rear visibility courtesy of its distinctive rear wing. Designed with taller drivers in mind, it is a rare combination of performance and comfort, making it the most luxurious Lotus Esprit ever produced. In impeccable original condition, this Esprit has been professionally detailed and is a true head-turner, with just 79,500 original kilometres. It comes fully serviced, equipped with new tyres, a new battery, and recently replaced key components such as the timing belt, clutch, and cooling system. The leather seats remain in excellent condition, with only minor wear on the gearstick and handbrake sleeves. A Collector’s Dream This Esprit is a complete package for collectors, including full service history, original Lotus service manuals, logbooks, and invoices. It also comes with a second set of wheels featuring the Lotus logo. The car retains its factory features and is equipped with ABS brakes, power steering, air conditioning, power windows, fog lamps, central locking, and more.
