The entry
The Lotus Esprit Sport 300.
The Sport 300 distilled the Esprit with an uprated turbocharged four-cylinder, wider track and wheelarches, and weight reduction throughout, drawing on Lotus's racing X180-R work.
It was built in a short run at the top of the Esprit range of its day.
We review your Lotus Esprit Sport 300 on the engineering behind it, its own history and its condition, not against a generic pricing model.
What we look for
What we weigh in a Lotus Esprit Sport 300.
Every Lotus Esprit Sport 300 is reviewed on the same four things as any other entry in the Index. Gaps are normal; tell us what you have. Neither a modification nor outstanding finance rules a car out on its own.
- 01
Documented history: service records and provenance for a Lotus Esprit Sport 300, however complete.
- 02
Originality and modifications: what has changed, and why.
- 03
Condition, honestly described, including anything outstanding.
- 04
Paperwork and finance still to sort.

Yes. The Lotus Esprit Sport 300 is on the index of cars we buy directly, filed under Classics & Grand Touring as entry Nº 122 / 168. Send the registration or the car's details and a specialist reviews it personally.
º2Do you need to see my Lotus Esprit Sport 300 before making an offer?
Not for the offer itself. A specialist reviews what you tell us about your Lotus Esprit Sport 300 first. Inspection follows once you accept a direct purchase offer, before anything is finalised.

Send the registration or the details of your Lotus Esprit Sport 300. A specialist reviews it personally and, if it fits what we buy, makes a direct purchase offer. If you accept, inspection and collection are arranged. Paid in full by bank transfer before your vehicle leaves. We aim to complete within 7 days where checks and paperwork are ready.

Yes. Send the restoration records and the review works from the documented car in front of us.
