Lotus Elan DHC SS

Dayton, Ohio

"N" Sticker on the rear bumper and the Ministry of Transport number suggests (to me anyway) this car was originally bought by a United States Air Force officer on station in the UK and subsequently brought to the United States.

Classic British sports car interior - circa 1967/8.

Lotus Pilot - May 1975. This fellow struck me as the quintessential Lotus pilot - complete with the wool sweater, beard, touring cap, and that expression. . . It would be ten years efore I finally got a 1972 Lotus Elan Sprint DHC for myself. I don't think I still have sweater like that, as big a beard, or a touring cap. I always thought they were something of an amusing affectation. Asahi Pentax Spotmatic w/35mm F:2.0 Super Takumar - Kodachrome.
