 This is a very rare and original piece of Lotus History! This is an original Dark Green Lotus Esprit Cloth Engine Cover. This matches the  green/plaid seats and interior found on the early cars. This would snap over the engine across the rear supports. If you have a series one Esprit and don't have this cover, look for the six male snaps and you will see where this goes. Most/all of these covers got destroyed in use. This one was stowed in a small vinyl bag as shown that I will include that with the cover. One snap has lifted off but it is included and any upholstery or boat person could put it back on. There are no rips. Black outer piping is in perfect shape. There is some dust on some of the seams but I didn't attempt to clean as I wanted it to stay in as-discovered state. One small and slight,  nickel size stain in the center of the green side. Some small ones on the underside which would be common given its proximity to the engine. This cover came with a series one esprit that I owned years ago. I must have stowed it and forgot to give it to the buyer of that car. This nice cover can also be used as a template if you have a series one car with an interior upgraded from the original green. It is nice to hide the engine and it also keeps oil film from building up on the rear windows.    Happy to take questions.  phone / text 516 978 six-one-six-one .
