Lotus Esprit
First introduced in 1976, the Lotus Esprit was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro and built on a Lotus Europa chassis. A year later, it gained fame in "The Spy Who Loved Me", where it transformed into a submarine during a chase scene.
This book, based on the authors' 20 years of ownership experience, provides essential guidance on buying, maintaining, and preserving a Lotus Esprit. It also includes previously unpublished research on different models, including the original "Essex" turbo versions.
The book covers key design updates by Peter Stevens in 1987 and Peter Thomson in 1993, as well as the history of the Bond film cars - both land and water versions - and their current whereabouts.
It offers practical advice on maintaining an Esprit affordably, along with a list of suppliers, businesses, and clubs that support owners and enhance the ownership experience.
With original illustrations and detailed insights, this book is an essential guide to one of Lotus's most iconic models.
