It is rumoured that it might have been involved in the Bond movie as they had a few and this may have been late registered as a result of that the Bond movie as there were very few In the colour combo indeed the records we have suggest just 4 .
When this example, arrived with us, it was in British racing green having been repainted a number of years prior.
When we found out, it started life as copper fire metallic, it had to be changed to that colour
Without a doubt one of the rarest, colours there is.
This is a spectacular looking car. We have spent considerable sums with it and it has just been settled and checked over by the Esprit Engineering Centre in Salisbury. It drives very well indeed and presents like new .
