I always loved the look because it is so 80s!
Yep, that was mine for 9 years. Its the car in Jeremy Waltons book.
A friend of mine had seen it in Donington 2007 for sale and sent me some pictures.
Took a flight the next weekend and bought it.
Dealer fixed a couple of small items and two weeks later we drove it in two days to south Bavaria.
It is an awesome experience to drive an Esprit open in summertime.
The chassis is very stiff and there were reinforcements inside, e.g. in the sills and the A pillars, no flex flex flex I can assure you.
In the pictures above the white TurboEsprit with the red stripes is a one off made by Kollinger in Germany.
The red GHB 550V above is shown in two pictures, found not long ago in a backyard, overgrown, curious if somebody will rescue that one.
The other pictures represent the two blue cars made.
Overall I would say 6 or 7 cars were made.
