Tell me is that really the original colour scheme, as the others were all one body colour with the wheels the same colour as the body. Not being picky, just wondering
Orange is definitely the original paint color for this chassis, but I don't believe I have any really early shots of this one to confirm it is how it was originally built.

The non-220S that was built from an unused 220C chassis for Tom Walkinshaw was finished like this one with the black roof and black wheels, though its original body color was dark green instead of the silver it now wears.

Insanely cool doesn't even begin to cover this! Huge congratulations on securing it, especially seeing as how you've been pining for it for years. Beautiful stable, especially the Esprit

It's a stunning thing and I'm damn glad it's still in it's original configuration.

The two in the US that have been modified don't look great and even worse considering they were repainted black or silver from the original bright colours.

Can't wait to hear your thoughts after driving it and seeing more pics, congrats Doc.
