Many consider the Sport 350 to be the best Esprit incarnation in the model’s long life. We meet the owner who tracked down his perfect Esprit.
Team Lotus didn’t get the result it wanted at the 1960 Portuguese Grand Prix, but it was nonetheless an instrumental weekend in the team’s history with the emergence of two future world champions.
Is the first Evora the best? When Max Jones switched from Exige ownership to something more practical, it was a Launch Edition that he sought.
How does the Elan M100 stack up on today’s roads? Our Classic Drive takes on a 1990s vibe this issue.
The Type 16 was the most advanced front engined grand prix car, but it’s only in the context of historic racing that it was able to find success. Richard Heseltine tells the story.
Malcolm Ricketts has had a life of Lotus racing and ownership. Johnny Tipler spent the day with him chatting through his extraordinary car collection.
George Moore spent three years tracking down a Lotus Seven S1, and wasted no time making the most of it – the most memorable outing being a 2000-mile road trip to France.
