Notes
Just 10 14 Carat gold-plated Lotus Esprit models were made. The first model was presented to Princess Anne at the premiere of the James Bond film ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’. Others were presented to Cubby Broccoli (director of the film), and other personalities at the Playboy Club after the premiere, as well as Roger Moore, of course.
The gold-plated Lotus Esprit model is mounted on a blue and black plinth which has a secret drawer containing the missiles. Instruction card present which details the working features of this model.
Model has not been removed from the plinth but it has incurred some light surface marking which has been cleaned carefully (further polishing could improve). This is an outstanding iconic piece!
It is mounted on a mint plinth in a complete and bright gold box. The box has survived very well indeed. Attractive gleaming gold sheen and no tears. Minor wear only.
