boxofbits Posted July 10, 2021 Report Posted July 10, 2021 (edited) Lovely photo, early 70’s I’d assume with that Sprint behind it. Never had an Elan but did have a friend Tim Smith with a genuine C Reg Mk1 Lotus Cortina. It was re-sprayed red but confusingly was an ‘Aeroflow’ model but fitted with the early A frame suspension, which was apparently adapted from the Lotus 7. I didn’t realise until recently how many changes Lotus made to that car with different trim and seats, alloy gearbox and diff parts, kingposts, shorter struts, and aluminium bonnet, boot and doors etc, and I can’t help wondering what a Lotus Triumph TR4 might have been had Chapman re-manufactured it? All these photos bring back great memories. Kevin Edited July 10, 2021 by boxofbits Quote
