I can confirm it's not a Jim Clark Edition. I had a Jim Clark Edition, and they are all 1991 Esprit SE models with the low wing and early body styling. This is a later year that looks to be an early V8 (1997-2001). The color of this car is a metallic green, while the Jim Clarks were all full-on British Racing Green (a solid dark green with a hint of a yellowish tone), and they had yellow wheel centers and yellow pin stripping.

Thanks West, I don't it is because the rims aren't yellow.
