The one from spy who loved me movie as you said did not have the decals, that is correct. However this particular car is from another bond movie - for your eyes only. It featured two esprit cars, one like this particular and one in dark orange color. Also a very nice model. Cheers
It's very sharp, and the Bond tie in is always cool. I've been looking for one of these at a good price for a while now, and they're expensive on Ebay. I finally did find one that was affordable that has a small scratch on the left gas cap and no box for $100. That's not even cheap I know, that's a lot of money, but compared to what people are asking I can live with no box and a small flaw cause I wasn't ready to spend $200 or $300 so I compromised. The model is very clean the flaw is small, and for the price I don't care about the box. It's not yet but soon will be displayed.
I have gotten a few models with minor flaws and they do not detract from my enjoyment of the models. You'll enjot it because it is a very handsome model.
@@chucksdiecastcarandmodelre5172 I think so too, if you pay top dollar for something you want it flawless, but if you find a bargain, and you have satisfied yourself it will display well, it's a great way to fill in the collection and not break the bank. Most of us collectors aren't rich, so we have to collect a little at a time and try to find good deals along the way. My collection has a couple I paid a premium for, and a couple I got cheap, like my Beanstalk Green Jag from Die Another Day, not a great Bond film but a damn nice Bond car, with all kinds of hidden weapons, got it newish with no box on Ebay for $10. They're always way cheap on Ebay, but that was way way way cheap, lol.
@@chucksdiecastcarandmodelre5172 Here's a crazy story. So the guy that shipped me this model (without a box) somehow broke off the right side view mirror before packing it up. I couldn't believe it, so I wrote and told the seller about it and he gave me a full refund of $136 total and said keep the model. That was surprising, so I found a guy that knew a guy that makes 3D printed diecast parts and got a set of two replacement mirrors already in black. So somehow I ended up with this wonderful model for free and now I've got all 6 of the AutoArt James Bond cars, and that FINALLY includes this very beautiful and elusive unofficial Bond car. One more thought, I really like that it has the door window because it keeps the interior from getting really dusty, I wish more diecast cars were this way.
The non turbo was in Spy Who Loved Me and the Turbo was in For your Eyes Only. But it was Spy Who Loved Me that made it famous. It certainly had much more screen time in "Spy".
The one in For your eyes only was in dark Red or Bronze bodypanels. I didn,t like that they destroyed that Bond car and it was atwinturbo as well... i think
Great presentation. Keep up your good work:)
Thanks!

This car was used in the James Bond film
For Your Eyes Only 1981
Not The Spy Who Loved Me that was 1977

Yes - that really hurt to see!
What are the dimensions of the car? Thanks!
@@decathalon87 It is about 9 inches, or 23 cm long.
@@chucksdiecastcarandmodelre5172 I was going to say about 10 feet.
