Never seen this before and am always intrested in the old G esprit race cars,  even more when they have gull wing doors !   Bring on the bat mobile 

Anyone know any history on this car ?

[Escape]

That's some beast! I hope we ca find out more about it. If it was still racing in the early 90s, I'd expect the specs to be quite impressive to be competitive.

Thanks for sharing Dan, love the gul wing doors! ?

I wonder what happened to it?

[silverfrost]

I found another picture on the net with a bit more digging,  But this photo is a bit closer and the quality is much better,  Just looking at the body lines, I think it may of been based on the Stevens esprit ? and not the G esprit,  Fantastic looking car and would love to find out if it still competes and what power train it had.

[Jacques]

Nice cars and nice pics.

But I Wonder about the second Picture sort of saying:

"Oh I am sweating in here in my dancing donkey jr car, and the guy NeXT to me is driving that awfully nice Black supercar even had the nerve to leave his supercar and go have a pint at the pub with his friends. Oh no! while I looked at the real sportscar, someone nicked my mirror...."

Jacques, that Dino absolutely flies,  it come past me and i was doing 130mph (sorry 73mph officer) indicated which is a bit optimistic as you know. But you want to talk about hot i have black with black and no air con. Then on the way back with Ricks Elite that thing come past and sounded awesome, my boy was so excited and worryingly now thinks it is the coolest car in the world apart from Barries Essex which he has spent the whole night showing me pictures of !

Keep that picture safe. Used carefully you will find it is far more effective than viagra....

I am blessed really he is 12 and he loves a  Lotus. We done our dream garage on the way home. 90% Lotus

@Bibs it was the artwork in this thread i meant to ask if you had hi-res copies of, not sure why it ended up in the other thread i think i had too many tabs open!

I gather some prints were made of those and auctioned off charity, gutted i missed that!

[Bibs]

The ones I've posted about are the resolution I have. We auctioned them off at the Esprit Factory day in 2006, they made a lot of money! Rob is a very talented guy
