JVD wrote it the car was owned by Tom Sullivan of Burlinghame, Ca.. It ran 12.20@116.32mph and beat the Viper which is what they were trying to do. You might have a small slice of history with that paint job, I would contact JVD for more info on that car and engine.

Might be mine can you scan a picture of it? that would be great?

As stated before I am a HUGE Esprit fan. In its day it handed everything on the road their a$$ on a platter with half the cylinders. The ones it couldn't beat were still very close in performance. Being British it had it's issues but what Brit cars didn't? And you, sir, have a fine example of one.

I like to kid Lotus people about us being their cousins, they are not to happy about it most of the time, so I was just joking, no offense. Here is the article, well, the best I could scan it. You still would need to JVD to check Serial Numbers. Hope this helps.
