There's a lovely Elite in the My Owners section on the Lotus Cars website: https://www.lotuscars.com/en-GB/story/bill-pears/

Very nice. I like the pinstripes just above the cills. Emphasises the wedginess.
What car is that?
Re: Elite on My Owners @ Lotus
Looks stunning - and to think that this is very nearly a 50 year old design.
Lovely to see cars with a small frontal area. In the right perspective, as displayed in one of the photos on the webpage, the front of the Elite is one of the most beautiful cars ever!! (beauty is in the eyes of the beholder!!)
In my opinion the front of many new cars have been injected with "Botox" ie Audi, the new BMW's, and may well be suitable for a Ford Transit van front, but not for road cars - I hope that we will see the end of SUV's and a revival of great looking sports cars.

Cds can be sub 0.3 (the Elite's Cd) on good moderns, but frontal areas just don't compare.
