Hello to everyone,
I just received my Lotus LTD 2021 calendar from William Taylor at coterie press(coterieltd@aol.com)- what a visual delight for a Lotus gearhead. Individual car photos nicely done for each month with a collection on the back and Bob Collum's Elise on the cover with shadow profile ala Ferrari like motif! I think Bob's car with its recent Gold Leaf makeover should grace the inside the next time round.
I have enjoyed "Black and Gold-The Story of the JPS cars" from Wm Taylor as well and highly recommend it for the history surrounding JPS sponsorship. On a more irreverent note, I just picked up Rob Siegel's -aka " The Hack Mechanic"- book " The Lotus Chronicles" detailing the reviving of a long dead 74 Europa Special. What a riot-if you have read his BMW CCA columns you will find similar musings. Available from Amazon.
So much for your cultural update-cheers.
