1980 Lotus Esprit Navigation
Two Lotus Esprits were featured in the James Bond film, 'For Your Eyes Only'. The first, a white model driven by Bond in Spain, is destroyed when a thug trips its self-destruct system by breaking the driver's side window. The second one was a red model driven by Bond at a ski resort in Northern Italy. Contrary to popular belief, these two were not repainted Essex-spec Turbo Esprits but specially commissioned cars.
