That white ones lovely - any inside pics @Tocus? So is this the one that’s been getting the work done at SJ Sportscars.....or is that another one?

Yes I'm Alexander! 

Very excited for you @Tocusit will be great to see it getting some love.

Anyone know this car coming up for sale by a friend of mine. 

[LOTUSMAN33]

Looks very nice Jason, ask him for the chassis number as don’t think it’s on our register.

Will do he's going to dig out the certificate of provenance for me if he gets around to it. Runs nice but It is part way through a restore but owner has now decided to sell. Any ideas on value?

Thanks Jason 

I would have thought £20-30k part restored depending what’s been done and how good the car is. Pure guess from just a single photo mind. 👍

I’m going to pop see the car if I can next week. Might be like when you go see a puppy and convince yourself that your not coming home with it.

@dr_jayhart all dry sumps are 175k at least

Was the interior tartan?

[dr_jayhart]

Nope cream 

[Bazza 907]

I was looking at the front of the car... 😉

Dry sump 10968 still for sale in Singapore. Oh my 🙄

[910Esprit]

If it was mine, I'd find an original elephant's trunk

That looks like the one that Allon White reupholstered and was for sale at Paul Matty's about 3 or 4 years ago. I saw it there and personally thought that it was a shame that the interior had been redone that way but it was a lovely looking car.

interesting Barrie, I wonder how it found its way to Singapore.

I guess it's nothing Steve Fulcher couldn't fix as it looks like the rest of the car looks good. Front bumper is from the 83 changeover but again easily fixed.

[Bazza 907]

Agree but probably needs to be priced accordingly not £100k

for that money it would need to be the best dry sump in the world or indeed an Essex

Just in from the shop where work on engine accessory re-engineering is underway and I note the ID of the engine, HD 910 81 08 19675,  is visibly stamped on the block upper surface aft. This lump was recovered from an insurance write-off I happened upon at a local breakers' by chance. I wonder whether any here would be able to cross-reference the engine to its native car, thus adding one more file to the register. The car was LHD Export, black exterior with black interior as best I recall.

Cheers

Why is the badge under the Turbo Esprit logo and what kind of trim is around the head lamps?

[910Esprit]

There were different headlamp trims depending on light manufacturor.  They are the same as mine.

For me, the best dry sump picture of all time- would love the digital version.

Chassis 0928, a road going Bond spec white/brown car and 1 of 3 that year.

Sadly 0928 perished in c. 1985.

I think the comps look great here even with no white lettering on the tires.

[Tocus]

so only 2 bond cars left in the world, the one from @Lex Templar and my car,

the wheels will be soon rebuild, engine is back in the car,

now she is almost ready for selling, its allready on classifields but if you are interested,

i am open for offers (nearby my asking price, no silly offers please...) and do you want some more info about the car, please send me a private message,

 

its 10982 chassis number the last full james bond Spec car ever build ....

Any update on this? Did you buy it?! 😀

[dr_jayhart]

So I went and saw the Black dry sump for sale today as a restoration project.

Black with cream interior and on BBS.

I believe the number was 11259.

Needs paint and interior.

[LOTUSMAN33]

Sounds nice Jason, are you thinking about a purchase?

Another one for the register 👍🏻👍🏻
