James Bond continued his association with Lotus in For Your Eyes Only, driving this copper colored Lotus Esprit Turbo in the latter half of the film. Featuring two pairs of skis mounted to the roof, this striking vehicle stands out against the snowy slopes when Bonds' mission to retrieve a stolen missile targeting system takes him to the Italian Alps. The Lotus Esprit continued the British motoring association with the James Bond film franchise. Built between 1976 and 2004, the venerable series spanned eight model revisions, with numerous variants of each model.
