The doors and mirrors still look like the old Esprit. Not sure if it is really the first proto test car or just another lash together.

Looks to be a nice test location though.

Looks like a typical mule to me. It'll be an old Esprit underneath with a few bits added for testing...

That doesn't look like the new Esprit to me more like the new Mid range car

It's definitely based on the older Esprit.There was a test mule around recently running one of the bigger engines in the old body Esprit (as reported in Autoar about 6 weeks ago) but I believe this was before teh decision to delay the vehicle.

Just done a search on the DVLA website and it shows it as a black Lotus registered in July 06 with a 3506cc petrol engine. Not sure if this adds anything to the debate?
