The Lotus Esprit was based on Giorgetto Giugiaro's M70 concept and was catapulted into fame when it stared in the James Bond file, The Spy Who Loved Me. This example was delivered by Lotus Cars USA to its first owner on the West Coast. Currently, the car shows 27,000 miles on the odometer and is finished in the period color of 'Lemon.' Inside there are tartan seat and door trim set into a green interior. Power is from a 1973cc four-cylinder engine breathing through 2 Zenith-Stromberg carburetors. It produces 140 horsepower and is mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
