British classics, one might immediately assume open-top classics, notorious for their tantrums when on the go, but that spirit of motoring is always present when things go well. Well, if that is what you assumed, you would be thoroughly mistaken. Would you believe that this 1995 Lotus Esprit S4s is regarded as a classic? With a reported 18,000 miles on its clock, this low-mileage rare bird is not just the new definition of a British classic but a motor that dedicates itself to making you smile on every drive out.
The Espirit was a legend from the get-go; it was Bond's choice of machine to dive deep and made an impression with its looks and star quality features. This 1995 Lotus Esprit S4s is not a machine that has been doused in the sea and partakes in spy missions; its black exterior gives it a more “ill dominate the track, if you please, sir” attitude. A walk around this modern classic and you would find uber cool features not prevalent in modern day cars, you have design that actually makes you look back as you park, pop up headlights, and a rear spoiler that adds a whole lot of aestheitc value and downforce. The factory styling also carries over to this machine's wheel game; in place are a set of period-correct wheels finished in silver. Yes, the Lotus Espirit is a sports car, but whoever said rapid performance comes at the cost of being uncomfortable? Step into the tan leather interior, and you'll find yourself surrounded by comfort, seated very low, with a factory cockpit ready to serve you a side of some of the best drives you've ever had.
Looks without the oomph to go alongside them are not what the Lotus Espirit is about. On its release, it was quite the performance powerhouse and could still keep up with modern sports cars, plus look better doing so. Make your way to the rear of this modern British classic, and what you will find is a reported 2.2 L turbocharged motor capable of churning out a mighty impressive reported 300 BHP when new, and also rocket off to 60 MPH in under 5 seconds. All this mighty performance is, of course, channeled to this machine's rear wheels through a manual transmission.

Here’s one of those epic British sportscars that everyone can’t get enough of—the Lotus Esprit. Made across four generations between 1976 and 2004, just 10,675 were made. That makes it rarer than most Italian and German sports cars. The Esprit also gained much acclaim for its showing in two James Bond films of the ’70s and ’80s, even turning into a submarine in one. For the first three generations, the Esprit was powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, but in 1996, the fourth generation got the V8 that the car’s looks always deserved. In fact, only 101 units were ever produced with the iconic V8 engine for model year 2001. That’s what this 2001 Lotus Esprit packs behind the passenger cabin and has got less than 30,000 miles on the clock. Moreover, the car has been massively massaged in the powertrain department and packs a horsepower figure of much more than stock. Furthermore, the current owner reports that service records are included too.
The Lotus Esprit is famous for being James Bond's car in two of the superspy's Seventies flicks. The Esprit was first seen in The Spy Who Loved Me, where it transformed into a submarine during a thrilling chase sequence. Then, it was used in For Your Eyes Only. But that's not the only outing for this British automaker's mid-engined rear-wheel-drive sports car. Furthermore, a silver 1989 Esprit SE, the same model year as this red 1989 Lotus Esprit SE, featured in the film Pretty Woman. Bearing less than 19,000 miles, you can buy this slice of British quirkiness from us right now, don a tux, and pretend that you're James Bond. Just don't try to take it into the sea, as this car doesn't transform into a submarine.

Lotus is a British sports car maker known for their lightweight and fun to drive machines. Created by the legendary Colin Chapman several decades back, Lotus is also known for providing James Bond with the Esprit for several films in the Seventies and Eighties. One of their more modern offerings is the Evora. This is a two plus two sports car that was made between 2009 and 2021. Only 6,117 were produced, making it pretty limited-edition if you ask us. Now, we’ve got a 45,450-mile 2014 Lotus Evora IPS for grabs. This Waynesville-based car comes with a Larini Performance exhaust system, a vertical doors conversion, and was even advertised in California Lotus Calendar. It’s also got race brake pads plus standard brake pads and OEM parts, and a lifetime warranty for those vertical doors.
Lightweight performance has always been close to the heart of Lotus. Colin Chapman was a legend on the formula one pitalane, his machines were tuned to be lightweight, and performance followed close. This penchant for being lightweight didn't stop at the race tracks; it also made its way into machines that rolled off production floors, and the machine we have today is one that sported that lightweight, all-smiles-per-gallon mantra to perfection. Feast your eyes on this 2005 Lotus Elise we have today. With a reported 7,900 miles on its clock and hailing from Powell, Ohio, this is nothing but a good time, all the time.
One of the shortest-lived nameplates in Buick history has got to be the Invicta. In fact, this full-size offering packed in two generations within just five years. The first generation ran for 1959 and 1960, while the second was made from 1961 to 1963. Given the car’s short production run, it’s no surprise that the market isn’t awash with examples. Thankfully, we have this 53,667-mile 1959 Buick Invicta for sale today. With its 401ci V8 and automatic gearbox, this Miami-based classic is the perfect choice for someone seeking an unconventional automobile to cherish, and of course, drive.
This 1974 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe, in all its orange glory, comes from an era of resilience. The C3 or third-gen ‘Vette is the longest-running of them all, with a fourteen-year production run between 1968 and 1982. Cars like this one are historically significant because they weathered the most dreaded time in American auto history; the Malaise Era. Even during those times, the Corvette was still the fastest American car available. Now, you can see why, when you take a closer look at this 24,000-mile machine from Island Lake, Illinois. It’s a survivor, a stunning looker, and above all, never compromised on engines by always having a V8 beneath the hood. So why not buy this beautiful boulevard cruiser and stick it to today’s soulless EVs?
Cadillac may be best known for their massively opulent land yachts that really pushed the boundaries of full-size cars, but did you know that they had smaller options? In fact, they still do. Between 1976 and 2004, their midsize luxury car was the Seville. Named after a Spanish province renowned for art and architecture, today’s 1985 Cadillac Seville comes from the second generation of the nameplate. It’s got only 13,272 miles on its 4.1-liter throttle body injected V8, and features a four-speed automatic transmission. Interestingly, the car is front-wheel drive, as was typical back in the day. If you’d like to acquire this rather interesting piece of Eighties Americana, it’s currently up for grabs in Fountain Inn, South Carolina.
