Power, light weight, aerodynamics and superb handling contributed to an impressive competition record, not the least of which were six impressive class wins at the LeMans 24 Hours in six years. The Elite's beautiful fluid styling continues to attract admirers even today, more than 40 years later.  </div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="1062ac00.jpg" border=0 width="298" height="192" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 195 WIDTH="356"><div> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><IMG SRC="08fb4630.jpg" border=0 width="180" height="99" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="10" VSPACE="0"></FONT>Some 750 Elites survive today as concours quality  GT cars, as very competitive vintage racers, as street driven personal Grand Touring cars, or under restoration as a favorite project.  </div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="1274c750.jpg" border=0 width="332" height="117" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  </div> <div> <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#339900" FACE="Arial" >The Utah Lotus Museum features one</FONT> </div> <div> standard road-going Lotus Elite and two</div> <div> Stage-3 competition Elites.<FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#009900" FACE="Arial" ><B>This section is dedicated to the preservation and appreciation of the Lotus Elite.</B></FONT><B> </B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
