YES!!! Congrats!!

I have been thinking to add one of these ESSEX Esprits and just hadn't pulled the trigger since I had the black one stashed away at one point I passed, but I am thinking to do so soon!!

This is a most beautiful of blues. And the Esprit is an all time favourite. Great pictures!

great pics of an intriguing car - very cool.

What was the Essex connection again? Anyone know?

I agree with Josh, these are the nicest pics I've ever seen of it, they're ace! It's such a classic!!

I think it's something to do with the Essex racing team from the 80's, there was an Essex Lotus Sunbeam too.

This is lifted from Wiki Gino:
In 1980 the first factory turbocharged Esprit was launched. Initially, this was another special edition model commemorating F1 ties and reflecting current sponsorship, this time in the blue, red and chrome livery of Essex Petroleum, and is therefore known as the Essex Esprit.

Great model, I love that Essex Esprit. And your photos are brilliant! Took me a while to find a good one, and I wouldn't sell it anymore.
(However, I did find another one a few months ago, new in box and never opened. So if someone here is on the look-out, let me know - it's quite hard to find.)
