One of 196 (or 250, no-one really seems sure smile )



One of 1 smile

I can't imagine Rover made too many 220GSIs either, but I couldn't say exactly how many.

VX220 2.2 n/a

Arguably the most "Lotus" of the Elise chassis cars as the engines a Lotus design for GM that found its way back to Lotus, none of the K series or toyota engines can say that. I'm sure I read that 1000 were built and about 974 survive.

Really, they don't use the 16v Cosworth engine, then?

Ford GT40 one of the most beautiful designs that stil today is very nice see also the replica's (mostly mk1 and mk2) around the world, many are made much much more then the original car did....around 100 I believe.

there is the mk1 mk2 mk3 and mk4, I try to find some picture's....of many are replica pictures on the web biggrin so I hope to find also some originals.

the best in my eyes the mk1 design, sporty elegant...








mk2...







replica?

mk3...





mk4...

Correctomundo, I had a hand in the L850 project - responsible for the cylinder block amongst other things.

At the time it was the biggest project that Lotus had ever been given to do. People involved from N America, Russelsheim in Germany & Saab.

Audi S2 Avant, only 320 sold in the UK between 1993-1996.
Well under 300 left now.

This is my Ruby Red one, one of the very last ones ever built

I thought David Coulthard and Mika Hakkinen got one each when they drove for MB or were those the twin engined ones?
