This pictorial history of the famous British automobile marque Lotus traces its story through the seventies and eighties when its reputation was established with such famous models as the Seven, Elite, Elan and Europa, and also looks at Lotus's new generation of cars, including the four-seater Elite, the S1, S2, S3 Esprit and Esprit Turbo coupes, the fastback front-engined Eclat and the latest Lotus Sport 300.

Great book on the classic Lotuses.
Ian Adcock is one of the premier Car literature authors and obviously have a liking for the Lotus heritage. The Osprey series books usually always have a high level of professionalism, and it shines through in the detailed information, photos and level of editing. This book is getting a bit old (1995), but still the photos and the information is timeless. The illustrations are more interesting than in your mainstream "coffe table" book. In "Lotus heritage" the pictures often are used to highlight specific details. For instance the differences in interior between the two versions of the "new Elan". This makes the book more interesting. It is a rather small book, but still a great buy. A book for enthusiasts, written by enthusiasts!
