There is a guy selling a 1990 SE that claims it is the black one from Basic Instinct. There was a thread a while ago and some wondered where it ended up. The guy emailed me a notice about the sale. If it's the same one that was on the Lotus web shop in Aug. of 2001 he put on 27K miles in 1 1/2 years.

Thats funny that you posted this because I JUST saw it on Ebay and emailed him asking if it has a Certificate of Authenticity as being the car in the movie.

Heres the email I got back from him:

EMAIL
It comes with a letter from Lotus stating it was in the movie.

Watch the crash scene again in slow-motion. Notice the change from low beams to high beams on headlights. Notice they used three different Esprits for that scene (see wheels at barricade crash through). Notice the Esprit lauched from the bridge has no engine and no exhaust, and already has a damaged rear tail-light before it hits the ground. : )

So which one is the guy selling? Is it the one that was listed a 1 1/2 years ago on the Lotus web shop? It had only 10K on that car. Now this car has 37K. 27K for that time is a lot of miles.

The car now lists at 16K miles on it. I could have sworn it had 37K miles on the ad. Maybe I was wrong
