Overview
In bringing together the best of the articles produced by Practical Classics & Car Restorer on Lotus cars, it is not surprising to see that an emphasis has emerged strongly in favour of one of Britain’s most endearing and enduring classics of all time - the Lotus Elan.
The Elan restoration and engine rebuild articles were a Written by Miles Wilkins, one of the country’s leading experts on the model. Miles was also responsible for the excellent series on glass fibre, all of which was undertaken on an Elan.
The major ‘back to back’ comparison supplement, starring the Lotus Elan and the ‘big’ Healey makes a fascinating study. Both models have a similar elevated position in the legends of the classic British sportscar, but both are noted for quite different virtues and vices.
The Lotus Cortina takes its place in this book in a very interesting story of a restoration of what has now come to be considered as Britain’s first ‘fast’ Ford.
We also feature the Lotus Elite in a ‘salon’ feature and there is a buying guide for that most evergreen Lotus, the Seven.
The whole series comes together to make fascinating reading for the Lotus enthusiast and will prove invaluable to the Lotus owner.
