Nicely photographed. A completely useless vehicle to me, though.
Thanks Ken. You think it might pull a bush hog??

Nice work!
My first job out of high school was working on a Lotus racing team. We had a formula car and the owner drove a Lotus Elan. Lotus has frequently been overlooked in the era of supercars with 1000+ horsepower. Their auto philosophy has always been smaller and lighter. They are "drivers' cars" rather than museum pieces.

That’s why sports cars are so much fun. Why drive around in a boring box all the time.

Great shots Don. Thanks for posting.
I used to own a 1973 Lotus Europa John Player Special. What a car. Fiberglass body so light it needed 2 gas tanks
for balance. One on each side right behind the cockpit. Only problem was the Lucas electric system. Always a surprise. You turned on the headlight switch and you may have gotten the windshield wiper. :-))
Famously unreliable

The car has exceptional styling, but the fashion statement of all those contrasting black body parts break up those flowing lines and make it look like a jumbled mess, IMO 😩. Nice photographs, nonetheless!
