Hi Steve,

I did a bit of research on the original Blaupunkt radios for Esprits when I was looking for 1 for my 1985 TE.

I "think" original Blaupunkt radios for your car would have included the below

High end: Toronto SQR 32 which was released around 1981. This was a definate option on 1983 and 84 model cars. It changed to a later model on 1985 models

Mid range: Boston SQM23, these were definately on 1985 Esprits, They were released around 1985 though so too late for your car.

Sparkomatic 309F also confirmed on a 1984 car.

 

Hope this helps

The Torontos SQR 32 sometimes come up on ebay. Working they go for approx £500

Andy Graham at Lotus will tell you exactly which radio your car left the factory with.

I found an original Motorola "Lotus" radio for mine.

My 82 Turbo Esprit came with a Panasonic 973 radio. Unfortunately I don't have it and there seems to be very little info on the web about it.
