Well, when people say, "Hey that is like the car in Pretty Woman"... you can say, "No... it IS THE car from Pretty Woman".

I dont personally think there is much cachet in having a car that was featured in a movie about a street prostitute and her john myself:(

The other Stevens Esprit movie about the two promiscuous homicidal lesbians , well thats a different matter entirely:lol:

I always wondered why they destroyed the black one when the white one would have photographed better at night?:confused:

I guess the black one = bad, evil,nasty, dark side of the force stuff.:roadblock:

Yes the white ones are the best looking IMO.:yes:

I always put this down to the fact the original Giugiaro design was originally modeled and refined in white plaster :)

I guess Giugiaro liked silver better though, and I seem to remember the Stevens re-style clay was finished in silver Di-Noc so I think Peter Stevens and Colin Spooner liked it in that colour too..
