Car Chase - Ford Granada vs Lotus Esprit

Donovan's Mark 2 Ford Granada is harried by Keller's Lotus Esprit.

This leads to a fight on a airfield. Fortunately for Keller, he had time to pull on a coat before climbing into his motor.

From G.B.H.

How did they blag a very expensive Lotus Esprit for this?

@Stratoszero

I don't know, because in another Twemlow film they make Satan drive a van provided by Salford Van Hire.

@TheDukeAbides I found out that the Esprit is the same car as featured in "For Your Eyes Only", yep the exact car (notice the ski racks on the tailgate?). How the mighty fall. It was owned by Lotus themselves until the late 90s, so someoen must have persuaded them to let it out for a day....wonder what yarn was spun?

It seems Fast and the Furious doesn't have the best chasing car scenes.

looked cold out that day. Keller was sensible enough to remember to put his jacket on despite the urgentness of the situation.
