Jim Cartner from Oxford, UK owns a 1987 Turbo Esprit HC in Mediterranian Blue, with a Magnolia interior.
Model:
Turbo Esprit HC Year: 1987 Colour: Mediterranian Blue Interior: Magnolia Leather Driving Style: Fast Miles per year: 5,000 Owned Since: Sep 1997 Purchase from: Private Serviced at: Little bit myself, Some by Classic Car Garage in Parham W.Sussex and Bodywork by Fibreglass Services near Bognor Regis in Sussex Other Cars: 306 Diesel Turbo Estate, 306 Diesel Turbo Previous Lotus': None Why an Esprit: Very soon after I first saw 'The Spy Who Loved Me' I wrote to Jim'll Fixit to ask to look round 'whatever that unbelievably amazing car was that went underwater'. Only to find that a week later some spotty kid was doing just that. I then had a fascination with these cars that I found out to be called 'Esprits'. I vowed one day I'd have one - and the G-Model was the one for me. Upgrades: Stereo
Problems: Minor Electrical, Stuck Wastegate, Brakes sticking/binding/failing. Info: As a G-Model lover I think the Turbo HC is the creme-de-la-creme (as Vincent would say) of the Esprit world..not that I'd turn down a V8 of course!!
