Lotus Esprit
The all-white Esprit driven by Roger Moore in The Spy Who Loved Me is the Lotus that most Bond fans remember, renowned for its underwater antics. But let’s not forget that an Esprit Turbo was also made famous by 007, starring in For Your Eyes Only – but blown to smithereens before the end of the film.
Inspired by a Giugiaro concept car from 1972, the eventual production version of the Esprit looked virtually identical when it took a bow four years later. That original body style remained on sale right through to 1987, underlining the car’s timeless appeal.
