Anyone here with a Venturi in witney/oxon area?
Discussion
Nice silver one,ace exhaust 
Thought it was a 348 til i got closer,great to see something unusual and soooo good looking!
Had a little play on the A40, and a polite wave goodbye in Corn Street Witney. I was in the White Turbo Esprit, wish you had stopped for a chat.
Also, later where the A40 goes to single lane, a Mit 3000gt with a nose bra. Nice car,but was not into your style of overtaking, making oncoming traffic brake and dive for the gutter...
You 'won' that one sir!

IIRC there's a sports car dealer in Witney that's had a Venturi on its forecourt for several months. Can't for the life of me remember the colour, but could have been connected?
edited to add: www.oselli.com/indexjv.html No Venturi listed for sale, but specialists in the marque. And, scoring a '9' on the weirdness scale, if you look at the page for the Jag C type Proteus, the first pic shows a white Esprit in the background!

I know that Esprit!
It's Martin Hampshires. Its a superb condition N/A car,but is fitted with SE wheels and wing - so it looks very close to my SE turbo. Will tell him!
Yeah, Have seen Venturi at that dealer (they had a BRG one for ages) so it's a safe bet it came from there. The Venturi that sticks in my mind most was an Atlantique i saw at the Supercar Sunday one year - it was finished in camoflage paintwork and believe it or not, looked fantastic!
BTW, I never said Hi when i crashed this forum - so 'HI', I normally reside in the PH Esprit forum.
My Chargecooled 264bhp Turbo Esprit....

Ha!
This one don't leak. My last (bond shape) Esprit did leak, but not badly enough for a fish to get in
And the lever center console operated the choke instead of dropping mines...
It did however deliver a 'smoke screen' once,
But idiot that i am, i got that mended
