Post 14: A Real Lotus?

  Well, I was doing research on the Lotus a couple of days ago, and ran across this car for sale in Charlotte, which is a mighty tempting toy:

    I have talked to my friend Landers, and to people at the Barber Museum, and things look pretty good, especially  if I can get the price down. It is not actually a full blooded Lotus, but  a Winfield kit that was started in 83, sold around 1990, and finished by a father/son team in the 90's. But unlike later Winsfields, it has the aluminum body like the Caterhams, which I much prefer to fiberglass.
