Lotus Elite - 1958 to 1963

[Fred]

This is one gorgeous little car! Apparently there were only 1000 or so made. I was lucky enough to see one in a supermarket carpark in England while I was there and speak to the owner. 500kg and 100hp, not bad! All fibreglass too. We were talking about roadster styling yesterday in OT and I searched for a few cars, this was one.



I came across an ebay auction for a restored one for 140k USD buy now price. It has some photos, here's the link:
