I know how you normally like full-frontal photos, but I only have this rear-entry one. Sorry... :P

A shock to every sense. :cyclopsani:

I know that Cedric sold it - that car must be worth serious money now....

I think that pretty much all 60's single Lotus from the Formula Junior upwards look great - I'd love to have one....
