Yes Mr K.some of the story is wrong though. I bought the car from a solicitor who raced it and used it as a road car. He purchased it from Gerry Marshall. I had it painted black with red decals and then black with gold decals. Really reliable car considering it's past history. I did sell it to Mr Haynes as I knew it was an important car. My mrs said dont bore every one about the car again.......π₯Ίπ there is a lot of info on the forum ref opw679w..Hope all's Mike

Sadly sold it needing 2 nd gear doing .put a lot of effort in .but hey .....Now own a Marcos 1600 component built .Might be up for sale .And a slightly tatty tvr tasmin convertable with a 2 litre ford pinto ....One of approx 14 convertable left hopefully dog friendly .as we have another Jack Russell .and going to the rspca to look for another fog .Enough of me .untill you don't own a esprit you realise what a stunning car they all are .....Mike
