Any progress jet? Would you mind sharing the drawings you did up to now?

Does anyone have a copy of the cutaway done of an Elan by the Eagle comic?

I'd appreciate seeing it in full.

Hi Tim,
I don't have the original comic, but will this do ?

: A4 image from reproduction Eagle Annual

Edit to add - if it is what you're after and want a bigger scan then it's no problem but at 300dpi it's probably too large for the forum.

Here is my Shin Yoshikawa signed and numbered cut away of an S2. It hanging in my garage along with all his other Lotus cut away drawings.

Tim,

what a fantastic selection of beautifully drawn cutaways, I remember seeing the cover of Classic Car magazine in December 1985 and I was smitten... there was a cutaway view inside and I thought that the drawing was amazing!

..and now you're trying to explode the car itself!

The Eagle drawing has the same pre-'A' rear suspension frame as the early Lotus adverts of the chassis and, I believe, The Science Museum car. So was it actually a Lotus drawing prepared for The Eagle assuming that the dads were reading the comic too?

New to me too!

Cast 4-branch manifold and knock-on wheels suggests SE but no repeater-flashers on the front wings.

That’s the one only a couple of posts above!

Mind you, that was seven years ago.
