Lotus Esprit Hot Wheels 2001-'12 Blue 1:57

The metal diecast model by Hot Wheels depicts a Lotus Esprit in blue, with a black spoiler and silver windows. The entire body has a low, sporty profile; the black plastic base and precisely reproduced wheels emphasise the character of the vehicle. The plastic windows have a silver tint, imitating the metallic effect of the bodywork. The embossed Hot Wheels logo, the inscription LOTUS ESPRIT and the year 2001 are visible on the base, indicating production details from the early 2000s. The model is approximately 75 mm long, corresponding to a scale of 1:57. The paintwork has visible scuffs and minor scratches, indicating intensive use in a toy environment. Overall, it clearly reflects the styling of the 2000s, combining a classic sporty profile with details characteristic of the Mainline series.

Used, collectible diecast model; after restoration it is like new (without a box, unless a box is shown in the photos). We restore models with 3D-printed replacements for missing parts and special paints made for restoring model cars. If the model shows signs of use, it has been intentionally left partly unrestored to keep its individual vintage character. The photos show the actual condition of the model.

The date given in the title or description is not always the date the casting was made. It may refer to the design of the model, the first casting series or the production of the real car. We give the dates the manufacturer states on the base. If in doubt, check all information against the photo of the base of the model.
