Read the Honest John Review

  • Lotus Elite 1958 - 1963
    Beautiful, amazing chassis, and uncorrupted steering, a driver's car almost beyond compare
  • Lotus Elite and Eclat 1974 - 1983
    Elite is surprisingly commodious, both are powered by the brilliant slant-four 16-valve which is powerful and revvy, excellent dynamics and steering, wedgy styling is a must for all '70s fans
