For many the Esprit represented the pinnacle of achievement for Colin Chapman"s Lotus cars, being an affordable supercar with the looks and performance usually only associated with far more expensive Italian machines. Conceived and designed by Chapman himself and the famous designer Giorgio Giugiaro, the Esprit first appeared in I972 and even now commands admiration for its distinctive looks and superb performance. "Lotus Esprit: The Complete Story" covers the evolution of the car from the origin of its first design through a long production life up to the Esprit S and Esprit Turbo SE. Superbly illustrated throughout and with practical advice on buying and running an Esprit in the 1990s, this is a comprehensive guide to a classic Lotus.
