1978 Lotus Esprit

Here is a 1978 Series 1 Lotus Esprit in original Monoco White paint, with about 50k on the odometer.It has tan leather interior and I believe was done by Claudius many years back.It has a clean title and also comes with the original owners manual, plus Lotus work shop manuals.When I bought the car, I put on a new timing belt, had the tanks re-lined and sprayed. It has newer ignition wires, hoses, etc. The carburetor was also rebuilt.However, the previous owner left out a set screw in the head and it leaked oil upon first start up. So, it has been in my garage since.The engine should really come out, to replace the set screw and it would be a good time to reseal the transmission.The engine builds oil pressure just fine. But, it needs attention before putting it on the road.Feel free to ask any questions that you might have. As much as I want to keep my heart into the Esprit. I just have some equipment that I'd like to get for work. Thanks, for looking.
