Cheers, Richard that's a really interesting article. I have never heard of a 7 with the 907 engine, a 912 in a seven would be fun.

The dark brown Elite appears to have the same lighter brown / tan vinyl roof as my gold one of the same(ish) year. They must have bought a whole roll of it !

Magazine articles at this time seemed to contain a lot more facts, which is really useful when when is trying to obtain knowledge about our cars.
Today, they seem to speculate on new car launches in 6 months time.
Well done for taking the effort to print the article for us all to see. Marcus

Nice one Richard. Interesting that the Esprit was slower and used more petrol than the Elite

I never realised that the weight difference was so close, 1 fat passenger really.
