Classic and sportscars mention of the grand tourers

[dancroft1984]

Bit of a mistake having esprit in there as 5 out of 6 points in the poster only appliey to the 4 seaters.

Ashtrays for 4, but surely only two usable seats?

That reminds me, I need to oil the children's ashtrays in mine.

I've heard from the editor of the magazine Alastair Clements and he is going to publish my letter and has even asked for a photograph of my car which is a result. I think if I see any other digs at Lotus in other publications that it might be worth a reply to try and stop the knocking of what is a great marque.
Perhaps we should start a campaign ?

Nice one Bash, I wrote to the same mag a couple of years back, relating to an article by Simon Taylor, likewise I got a personal reply and my letter published, and Simon has subsequently referred to it in a conversation when we were both Hill Climbing at Shelsley Walsh.
Yes I agree it is worth countering any Lotus bashing press 'if' considered unjustified to achieve a balance....

Its in the April 26 edition along with my photo.
Will attitudes change, probably not with some of the people I come across at shows that are only 50 percent towards being a wit but hopefully its struck a chord with some journalists.
