Homemade 007 Lotus Esprit

This month's issue of Classics Monthly has a feature about the TSWLM Lotus- they've got a guy with one in top condition in Bond spec (although his interior is the wrong colour!) and one guy who seems rather mad (in a good way): he's made a dinghy out of two Esprit bodyshells and attached an outboard motor to it!

Isn't it excellent?

    That's well classy!

    He's even made it a "convertible" boat, because you can just see the top of his hair...................well maybe not! :)) :D

    Yeah, he says he modelled it on the corgi- it's even got little wheels on the bottom so he can wheel it about! :)

    GREAT! Are there more pics available?

    May I also suggest to move this to the mem&Coll section, there are many people out there, who may love to see it!

    Sure, here you go, although it's worth picking up the magazine for more:
