Scalextric Lotus Esprit S1 1:32 Analog Slot Race Car

The iconic Lotus Esprit S1, released in 1976, is renowned for its distinctive polygonal 'folded paper' design, but it truly gained fame when it was driven by MI6 Special Agent, 007 James Bond, in the 1977 hit movie 'The Spy Who Loved Me', starring Roger Moore as the iconic British spy. The car's lightweight body and superb handling made it an attractive choice, although it was considered underpowered and not entirely reaching its full potential.

While the legendary driver Gerry Marshall, also known as 'Big Gerry', was primarily associated with Vauxhalls and was considered one of the best drivers of all time, he also piloted this captivating Lotus Esprit S1 during some modified production car races in the early 1980s. Despite the car's impressive performance, it suffered from reliability issues, including problems with the brakes.

This alluring Lotus Esprit S1 has now become a fantastic addition to any classic GT grid of 80s supercars, offering a nostalgic and thrilling experience for enthusiasts.
