Lotus Esprit Forum

Hello,
I am looking at a 1984 Turbo Esprit that was originally blue over grey but has been repainted to white over black and I have the following questions:

1) The center of the BBS wheels is painted or powder coated white, did it come from the factory with this color? I have only seen gold, silver or aluminum. Not crazy about the white color and will change to gold but may leave as is if it came from the factory in white as well.

2) The luggage boot does not have carpet lining. In looking at photos online, I have seen it with and without lining, did it come from the factory with it? If yes does anyone carry a carpet kit that I can purchase?

3) I don't believe the red inserts/accent in the interior is a factory scheme. I wish the previous owner had made it all black or I believe the center of the seats would have been a matching black fabric.

Thanks for the help and advice.
Herman.
