The cover feature in the current July/August issue of NZ Classic Driver magazine, we spend time with one of the most iconic supercars ever built - the Lotus Esprit Turbo. More than just the Bond car, we explore the remarkable story behind this hand-built British legend, from its dramatic origins and Giugiaro styling and surprising connection with the DeLorean. We also meet North Canterbury owners Guy and Helen, whose beautifully restored Esprit has been brought back to life through years of dedication, and discover what it's really like to own, drive and maintain one of the rarest classics on New Zealand roads. If you grew up with an Esprit poster on your bedroom wall, or simply love a great automotive story, you won't want to miss this one.
