Mark I - Trials Car, 1948
Mark II - Trials Car, 1949-50
Mark III - 750 Formula Car and IIIB, 1951-52

This is a comprehensive survey of Lotus's racing history, covering the extraordinary range of sports-racing and single-seater cars designed by Colin Chapman and his disciples. Grand Prix machinery predominates, with landmark machines such as the 25 (the first monocoque), 49 (the start of the Cosworth-DFV period), 72 (wedge-shaped with side radiators) and 79 (the all-conquering ground-effect design). Into the narrative are woven the memories of Lotus Formula 1 drivers, and an insider's view of the innovations for which Chapman was personally responsible and those credited to him but derived from others

When this sold out in the '90s we replaced it with an enlarged Gold Portfolio and this finally went out of print a few years ago. This new p.o.d. edition has been revised and edited to include recent historical comment and advice on acquiring a good used Lotus Cortina. We are delighted that over these many years we have enjoyed the support of the Lotus Cortina Register and details of their organization can be found within the book. It is our custom to write here a 'thumb-nail' portrait of the models we are covering - however, the excellent piece from Wikipedia that can be found on page 113, is so comprehensive that words from me would be superfluous.
In our first book in 1983 I wrote the following observation regarding Ford and Lotus. At the time the Lotus Cortina was at the height of its fame I was attending a well known business school. They taught me, through an absorbing game, how to recognise win-win, win-lose and lose-lose situations. It would seem that representatives from Dagenham and Cheshunt had been there before me as the emergence of the Lotus Type 28/Ford 125E (the 1963 Lotus Cortina) had all the characteristics of a classic win-win policy.

It established Ford of Britain on the track and, later, the international rally circuits, and started a succession of winning competition models such as the twin-cam Escorts, the RS 1600s, 1800s and 2000s, the sporting Capris and the GT40 which took top honors at Le Mans on four occasions.

Colin Chapman, during this period, took Lotus from modest facilities at Cheshunt to a new factory near Norwich and entered the seventies with an enviable track record and two successful production models, the Elan and the Europa.

This portfolio traces the progress of the Lotus Cortina Mk 1 & Mk 2 models during their production life between 1963 and 1970. Reported on are the works competition cars and the I.W.R. & Westune versions. Included are road and track tests, new model reports, performance & technical data plus articles on rallying & racing. Advice is offered on acquiring a good used Lotus Cortina. With a total of 160 fully illustrated pages.

L'Elise marque le renouveau de Lotus dans la catégorie des petites voitures de sport dans les années 1990 : elle constitue un retour aux sources même de la marque, après l'échec de l'Elan M100 à traction avant. Radicale, l'Elise est une sportive basique sans assistance ni souci de finition ; ce qui permet d'en contenir le prix : 165 000 F à son lancement en France en 1996.
Ce qui lui assure rapidement un gros succès international. Aujourd'hui, l'Elise en est à sa troisième génération et Lotus est largement tiré d'affaire sur le plan économique. L'Elise fête se 20 ans d'existence en 2016 et les premières séries sont déjà des collectors, tandis que de nombreux dérivés et versions spéciales sont aussi très recherchés. L'ouvrage s'articule comme toujours sur la collection Autofocus sur une série de chapitres retraçant par ordre chronologique la carrière du modèle et de ses nombreuses versions : de la première série à l'actuelle, en passant par les versions spéciales (séries limitées) et la version coupé dite Exige, ce sont toutes les Elise qui seront abordées via un texte didactique et des photos originales et inédites.

So many ground-breaking victories on the world's Grand Prix and Indy circuits, so many genuinely historic drives from some of the greatest names in Formula One, and of course a truly enviable run of successful road cars which continues unabated well into the company's sixth decade--it is perhaps hardly surprising that the business founded by Colin Chapman in a lock-up back in the late 1940s should have developed into one of the marques most revered by motoring enthusiasts around the world. Nor, as this second book by Lotus authority and enthusiast William Taylor makes abundantly clear, is that burning passion for the marque restricted to the cars themselves.

Unfortunately, not only was the Elite launch seriously delayed due to various problems, a last minute recalculation of the production costs also forced the company to increase the price of the new car by almost 170 percent, pushing it way beyond the target figure of £3,500. And if all that wasn't bad enough, the effects of a worldwide recession were by this time having serious implications for specialist auto manufacturers, especially companies like Lotus who were attempting to move themselves up-market.
Although the styling of the new Elite was obviously intended to appeal to more affluent customers, beneath the sleek fibreglass body was a tried and true backbone chassis which could trace its heritage back to the original Elan, with independent suspension and disc brakes all-round. Handling was as capable as ever while performance came from a Lotus-designed, 16-valve, 1,973cc four-cylinder engine which generated 160hp – sufficient to give a top speed close 125mph. Sadly, a reputation for poor reliability still remained a bugbear for the marque.

Based on the same chassis, suspension and engine combination, the cheaper Eclat fastback was introduced in 1975. However, this was a particularly bad year for Lotus, only 536 cars were built at the Hethel factory near Norwich and the company posted a loss of almost half a million pounds. The situation improved slightly in 1976, with output up to 926 cars, but Lotus barely broke even. A healthy surplus in 1977 couldn't disguise the fact that Lotus needed to diversify and as part of this process Colin Chapman handed over control of road-going car production to Mike Kimberley.

Oil prices doubled in 1979, causing a second recession which again hit Lotus really hard. Despite an increase of engine capacity to 2,174cc in the Elite and Eclat, sales in North America slumped and total output in 1980 was just 383 cars.

By 1982 the Elite and the Eclat models had reached the end of the line. Together with the untimely death of 54 year old Colin Chapman in December due to a heart attack, this made it one of the worst years in Lotus history. Nevertheless, the cars produced through these troubled times have since gone on to join other classics from the Lotus stable and are now enthusiastically preserved and enjoyed by drivers in many countries. Included are road and comparisons tests, long term reports, a technical analysis plus full performance data. Reported on are the Types 75 & 83, S1 & S2.2 Elites and the Types 76 & 84, S1 & S2.2 Eclats/Sprints. Advice is offered on acquiring a good pre-owned example of each.
