[...] Lotus founder Colin Chapman really got his jollies off building cars that didn’t weigh a lot. More specifically, he embraced the forward-thinking notion that reduced weight, not added power, was the key to truly inspired performance. Case and point, the brand’s first commercial success, the fiber-glass bodied, bug-eyed Elan you see here. It weighs all of 1,500 pounds, the automotive equivalent to Kate Moss on an empty stomach. This particular example, spotted in a garage on West 26th street, is an Elan +2, a stretched wheelbase coupe variant introduced in ’67 that was designed to accommodate a 2+2 seating configuration. Think of it as the spiritual predecessor to the brand’s new Evora, which is essentially an Elise with 2 rear seats and a longer wheelbase. Lotus only made 5,000 of these Elan+2 models between ’67 and ’75 so we consider ourselves lucky to have stumbled onto to this brilliant blue example. [...]

Maybe your forgetting a time when the Japanese were making cars that were more than just practical. Lets not forget the all mighty Toyota Supra Turbo which helped build the aftermarket scene here in the US (the days before FaF). Then there is the Acura NSX. While the NSX might not have blown your socks off on paper after no real changes in the 15 years it was in production, it still was a work of art with its all aluminum construction and mid mounted six. It was a great car to drive and could be easily driven every day. Who knows why it was never really upgraded in the engine department? In business its all about using the best product you can get your hands on, and when it comes to building engines that will last, you can’t beat the Japanese.

at least a fiat engine is still made in italy. i would prefer a peugeot, citroen, volkswagen, alfa, lancia, renault engine to toyota…….. did you ever notice how tired ANY 10 year old japanese car looks ? japanese cars never garner significant amounts of money as collectibles, perhaps because they don’t make to last that long. i don’t like the idea of dropping japanese engines into european cars.

teriffic post. awesome car. super pics & locale.

hey archie, early ferarris were powered by Fiat. in fact they kinda sorta still are, huh? the motor is generally available, most effective, reliable & cost effcient to buy & to service. a purpose built motor would make the car unaffordable. it is the reasonable & effective solutions on all levels. go drive the car & talk to me abut the motor. i did
