Sometimes the effort can be misguided.......this is is such a case in my opinion. That classic design has been americanized and in doing so lost its identity........It was a lot better befor IMO

but the interior has been done very well & is what Lotus should have done & the engine is what they intended to do isn't it?Have always liked Elites, for some reason, probably as it was the first Lotus I ever went in.
Anyway, in my first short reply saying I liked it in it's original colour, I should have elaborated by stating , as some others have, that it's lost it's classic look & now looks like some pimped up American waggon with Bling wheels & a Big motor.
Yes, the restoration is good, but sometimes restorers loose the vision of what the vehicle was, as in this case.

Sorry if it offended you, maybe I should have elaborated like the above. Anyhow, just to prove how much I like Elites i bought on last Saturday...Yes, the restoration is good, but sometimes restorers loose the vision of what the vehicle was, as in this case.
