Heading up the charge is a 1978 Esprit S2 "JPS Edition" sporting its unmistakable black and gold livery.
Guided at between £75,000 and £100,000, this head-turning model has a mere 21,887km on the clock, has had just four previous owners and is considered one of the best, low mileage examples of its type.
Not to be outdone is a 1981 Esprit Turbo Essex S3, also complete with its own distinct paintwork, this time in blue and red Essex petroleum colours.
With an excellent history file, an extensive restoration and just two previous keepers, this particular model is just one of 45 models ever built and is also complete with Panasonic roof mounted stereo and original 15” compomotive split rims. It is estimated at between £105,000 to £150,000.
Also with just two previous owners is a 1994 Esprit "Sport 300" in Camel Racing Yellow and complete with Blue Alcantara leather, Lotus Certificate of Provenance and original books.
It is believed to be the first time a "Sport 300" has ever been sold at auction which is reflected in the estimated hammer price of between £70,000 to £120,000.
“To have secured just one of these limited edition Lotus Esprits for sale would have been fantastic but to be able to offer all six from the same private collection is unbelievable," said The Market director Tristan Judge.
Among the other Esprit from the collection available to bid online for include a Championship Winners Limited Edition 1995 Esprit S4 GT, which pays homage to the Lotus single seaters and is expected to reach between £35,000 and £50,000.
It stands apart with its metallic Lotus Brooklands Green livery and is just one of 11 built.
The final two Esprit from the collection include a 1995 Esprit S4S, estimated at between £35,000 to £50,000 and a 1999 Esprit V8 350S with just three owners and with a guide price of between £55,000 and £70,000.
The online auction is set for Aug 23.
