In early 2004, the last of the Lotus Esprit v8's rolled off of the assembly plant in Hethel, England. All of the 2004's were bound for the United States. Unless you are lucky enough to buy one of the 2004's or the 2003's that are still in stock at many Lotus dealers then your only option is to buy one used. |
