Gordon,
That's a good job for you ... :wink:

Just by collecting all the mag's , you ll have to spend a lot ...
As I previously said , I do not have all of them and the purpose was only to make a nice image ...

Here are three I've found on the internet that I didn't see on the poster, I've been collecting them as well. The eBay finds will need some photoshop editing, but I hope they will square-up. The Classic Cars October '92 I have has the same photo as a CC mag on your poster, but the words are different.

BTW Christian, not all of the photos on your website downloaded this morning, so I couldn't check for the latest version there.

Enjoy,
Don

Christian,

The elanontop7.jpg pic is a 1.8MB file, a jpg with no compression, takes a while to load. Reduced to factor 5 (from 10) in Photoshop it's only 437KB, and with hardly any visible compression artifacts. Much easier to play around with!

Mind you, bigger versions of each pic would be great (but would require even more space of course).

You write: My webpage in the french Lotus Club is starting to be huge, so keep patient, refresh it or click on image, often they'll open in a bigger size !

I haven't managed to get any in a bigger size - am I on the wrong page?

The other thread reminded me of this find - the May 2009 Japanese edition of "Car" magazine, seen at Tokyo airport.

In New Zealand we have a couple of excellent classic car magazines. These occasionally feature classic Lotus cars, and these cars very occasionally make the cover. I have attached (hopefully) an image of one issue featuring the Lotus Elan on the cover. This can be added to the collection!

Hi Christian,

I see you live in France. We just drove the Elan to Morges (Switzerland) and back at the beginning of the month for the Swiss British Classic Car meet. Were you there??

Nope Carl,
I'm living in the Paris aera, and as a car designer, I was very busy with the Mondial de l'Automobile of Paris ...

Btw: I saw Gordon Murray (great fan of the Elan) at the press day ...
