Topic: Lotus Mk1


In the News (Thu 16 Feb 12)

  
  Lotus Elise Mk1
All Lotus past models such as Seven, Elite, Elan, Europa and Esprit are all considerably lighter than their competitors, thus handling and acceleration are remarkable in spite of smaller engines used.
Lotus has no tradition in high build quality, especially when Elise is its cheapest model.
Lotus said it is destined to race track, but I think its achievement is well beyond that.

 Lotus Chassis Numbers
It was reported that the last Mk1 Lotus Cortina made had a special chassis number but this has not been verified.
Of the 2867 Lotus Cortinas MK1s built until the end of 1966 of both left hand drive and right hand drive, roughly 400 were left hand drive.
The code BA91 denoted that it was a Lotus Cortina but because the Mk2 was built by Ford, and not Lotus, the chassis numbers followed the mass produced Mk 2 Cortinas.

 AutoCult Blog - Lotus Cortina Mk1 - a classic
The Cortina MK1 was introduced in September 1962 in a standard and deluxe form.
Originally to be called "The Archbishop", Ford decided to stick to the tried and tested formula of the very popular Anglia 105E with an overhead valve engine, four speed gearbox, MacPherson strut front suspension and recirculating ball steering.
The final model launched to complete the range was the 'Lotus modified Cortina', and it was this car that made the Cortina into a modern classic.

 Speedarena Forums: The 25k Lotus question
Lotus Omegas/Carlton are supposedly maintainance nightmares and they probably rust like similar Opels of the same era (which is very badly).
Today, the BMW 6-Series is available in grey, off-grey, grey with a hint of grey, and dark grey, whereas its forerunner from the Seventies, the old CSL, was available in red, white, lime green or orange.
It's a tough choice between the 450 HP lotus or the yellow one.

I only found the Lotus Elise mk2 blueprints and I studied them carefully and found they are somehow similar in shape as the lotus Elise 1.

This was prior to the Escort being manufactured which caused a few problems with the transplant of the Lotus engine from the Cortina.

Lotus Cortina Mk II - 1967 Gulf Marathon - Ove Andersson - Saluki Bronze
The Lotus Cortina Mk11 had quite a short career as a rally car, for in historical terms it was sandwiched between the successful Mk1 Lotus Cortina and the now legendary Mk1 Escort.
The Ford team knew the Escort was coming through for much of the 1967 season and therefore did not develop the Mk11 as much as they might have done.

In France they were made and sold as Rosengarts while in Japan Nissan also used the 7 design as the basis for their original cars, though not under license.

 Ford AVO Owners Club
Henry Taylor knew he wanted a car that was faster and lighter than a Lotus Cortina but that it would be a nightmare to follow all the company procedures to introduce a performance Escort in the timeframes they had available.
The wide Lotus DOHC cylinder head with its twin sidedraught Weber carburettors fouled the offside inner wing, so offset engine mountings were used to push the nose of the engine towards the nearside of the car.
