As far as I know they did not make the red one at 1/18th, maybe at 1/43th but I am not even sure that it was from AutoArt.
I have the white one at 1/18th, and I'd like to also have the blue Essex one.

There are a few for sale on Ebay right now with very detailed pictures of the amazing interiors. Yes, I look at cars on Ebay for fun, and quite often. This is definitely one of my top 3 favorite Bond movies which I think some people overlook.

I've actually seen this for real!

It's part of the Cars Of The Stars collection in Keswick, Cumbria.

Bond's new car, the Lotus Esprit Turbo. But this time he doesn't use it in any chases.

Features an anti-theft device:

The DVLA has an entry for this plate:

The vehicle details for OPW 654W are:

Date of Liability 01 03 1984
Date of First Registration 05 09 1980
Year of Manufacture 1980
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 2174CC
CO2 Emissions Not Available
Fuel Type Petrol
Export Marker Not Applicable
Vehicle Status Unlicensed
Vehicle Colour BRONZE

However the colour is listed as bronze. Perhaps the plate was transferred to one of the other cars used in the film.

Wasserspeier wrote Did they use a real car for the explosion or only a shell? Any information about this?


From what I have read, Lotus provided them with a chassis which they blew up.
