Lotus Esprit v8

[Molsheim]

Spotted in Cambridgeshire, left before I could ask the owner about it. Is that a factory colour?

Difficult to tell. Closest match is probably Starlight Black - same as mine, photo attached - but it doesn't seem to 'pop' properly, probably due to the low lighting conditions. I wonder if its more of a solid black, which I don't think Lotus did. The black Saturn wheels and rear (federal) valance certainly aren't standard. Looks mean though. Still needs the round rear lights in my opinion, but that's definitely subjective...

Did they do a 'gunmetal' ?

Good call - B88 Gunmetal Metallic. I also thought Charcoal but it doesn't seem black enough.

The DVLA thinks it's blue.
