Red 1997 Esprit at Avenue of the Stars

[jbrookstone]

During a stay at the Hyatt Regency on the Avenue of the Stars in Los Angeles, this week, I spotted a red/tan 1997 V8 Esprit, series number 65352, CA reg. (last 4 digits) J235 on Thursday. The car was parked outside, in front from at least 10 AM to 6 PM, next to a Porsche Turbo S and had a custom center-exit exhaust that cut through a modified rear valence. Tires were Michelin Pilot Sports. Clearly a daily driver, more than 30K miles, I'd guess, but still attracted attention. People were asking "What is it?"
