Lotus Elan - first offspring of the Ford and Lotus marriage

March 26, 2011 — P 5

The Lotus Elan brought together ideas and components from Ford and Lotus. The small Lotus sports car benefited from Ford's marketing and sales power, especially during its launch. But much more was planned. This article reports on the beginnings and the prospects at the time.

Lotus Elan SS by Frua - the only Lotus Elan with Frua aluminum bodywork

January 20, 2012 — Stefan Dierkes und Bruno von Rotz 14

The Lotus Elan is known as a lightweight British roadster with folding headlights and plastic bodywork. In 1964, Turin designer Pietro Frua created a ravishing-looking, Italian-style coupé made of aluminum and sheet steel based on the Lotus Elan, which he called the "Elan SS". Despite its good design, the pretty coupé never made it into series production; it remained a one-off that has been lost.

Lotus Elan GT - Roof floor

March 23, 2024 — Paul Krüger 35

Before Lotus itself offered a coupé version of the Elan from 1965, a small workshop in Surrey fitted the plastic roadster with a sleek aluminum roof and hatchback. However, despite its successful lines, the "GT by Shapecraft" remained a rarity. No more than 20 examples were produced within two years. In this article, we tell the brief history of the small two-component sports car and show an unrestored example that, for once, has not been converted into a racing car.
