 ONLY 1 MADE IN  THIS  COLOUR AND  SPEC  IN  UK  FORMAT IN  1982 !!!!   This  S3  turbo  is  a  very  interesting  car indeed .

So  it  started life of  as a  copper  fire  metallic  with  champagne  leather  A31 
It  indeed  was  the  only Turbo  esprit in  that  combination  in 1982  .

It  is  rumoured  that  it  might  have been involved  in  the  Bond  movie  as  they had a  few  and this may  have been  late  registered  as a result of  that  the Bond  movie as  there  were  very  few  In  the  colour  combo  indeed  the  records we  have  suggest just 4 .

When this example, arrived with us, it was in British racing green having been repainted a number of years prior.
When we found out, it started life as copper fire metallic, it had to be changed to that colour
Without a doubt one of the rarest, colours there is.
This is a spectacular looking car. We have spent considerable sums with it and it has just been settled and checked over by the Esprit Engineering Centre in Salisbury. It drives very well indeed and presents like new .
Below is an extract from the previous garage who specialise in these cars when they sold it to the last owner.
We have invested over £25,000 into this car, creating what you see today.
Simply beautiful, is the only word to describe it.
Without doubt a surefire investment.
Mileage is approximately 65,000 with a comprehensive service history detain in the Speedo change at approximately 35,000 miles
