Stumbled across this Lotus in Rethymon, Crete on the street. What is it?

QUOTE(michel richard @ Sep 4 2004, 02:19 PM) Lotus Elan, (as it says on the side of the car). Very nice little lightweight car, fiberglass body on steel frame. I've always thought Lotuses and 914's have a lot in comon: small lightweight cars, often unloved or looked-down upon, that can kick the beeeehind of the person looking down. Not sure a twin-turbo V-8 Esprit fits that description, though ! You wouldn't believe how small the cockpit is in those, make a Miata look spacious. |
