I used to go to Earls Court regularly in the 60s/70s ans 80s and loved it.

Refused to ever go to the NEC - it was in the middle of nowhere!

Anyway just for you here is a mint LC I saw at a Pistonheads meet in 2015 - the owner still has it apparently.

I went to Earls Court in 1989, star of the show for me was the F40 followed by the yellow Z1 and tucked away on a crap stand was a 959

That 007 Lotus Esprit belongs to a friend of mine !
He told me how he went to a museum in the U.S. to look at the original film car and measure up the ski holders.

That’s awesome. He had some information with the car stating that very fact. Some boy like, it looked mint.
