<strong>Javelin</strong> <strong>#1</strong> in the hot pit. Mexico, 1973.<br />
Humberto Esparza, who lived in a suburb of Mexico City, purchased<br />
<strong>Javelin</strong> <strong>#1</strong>. Esparza raced <strong>Javelin</strong> <strong>#1</strong> a few times in Mexico. Michel<br />
Jourdain Declercq racalls that:<br />
“Esparza was not very <strong>com</strong>petitive, and I was hired to drive the car<br />
again. After a few races, the car was parked …”<br />
While Esparza did not continue to race <strong>Javelin</strong> <strong>#1</strong>, he did continue to<br />
enjoy it daily. Esparza displayed the <strong>Javelin</strong> in his living room. After<br />
eleven years, his wife offered the <strong>Javelin</strong> for sale (After over a decade<br />
of putting up with a car in her living room, this should surprise no<br />
one.).
