Been looking at buying a mid 80s Esprit Turbo and came accross Performance Car Mag, Dec 93 Edition, which has a "Performance Car of the Year feature.

An early 500 came 4th in their test and was well liked. The Reg No. was L110-BFV and it was painted in a really nice light metalic ? Blue. Has it survived and any other Press/Roadtest cars still around ?

I've got the ocean haze factory 430BV (J631) and Steve Prevett owns the graphite? coloured J524 which are both featured heavily in test articles in the early 90's.
The red facory car which features in a lot of press photos and the eraliest surviving Griff used to be owned by mack on here but he sold it but to who I have no idea.
There's a pale blue 500 (one of the last 100) which appeared on some postcards which was owned by reeso on here but aghain sold within the last 18 months or so, again I've not seen it since.
Mike Virgo owns L110 which I've yet to see since a rebuild and AJP engine install, maybe at the Growl this year?

Thanks for the replys guys. Great to see that L110 has survived. Nice colour as well and I didnt realise that she was the first 500 built.

The Road test comments are interesting re being a handfull on a bumpy road.... How familiar !!!
