The original 1962 Elan is a masterpiece - a beautiful, lightweight (just 680kg), gorgeous-to-drive sports car debuting the backbone chassis design that became a Lotus mainstay. The 1989 'M100' Elan, meanwhile, is still regarded as one of the best handling front-wheel drive cars ever.

Yes. It's ironic that after all the fighting to use the Lotus name (not even Team Lotus or Team) in F1 the one's that have won are connect to the car manufacturers. The irony is if they now pull out of Formula 1. But that aside, Lotus is the iconic, charismatic, team in F1 more than the others. They with Chapman loom over this sport still. The fact that the 1977 dominating Lotus 78 and the greatest F1 car have not been mentioned says it all. Along with the 86/88 twin chassis and carbon fibre kevlar materials that were along with Mclaren the first, and the first to enter a Grand Prix. The fact that they have had world Championship grand prix wins taken away from them, and really should of won 9 or 10 world championships has been over looked now.
