Mmmmmmm......Her height would seem to be the same as the distance from the base of the screen to the front of the car.
On my Sprint that is 1.42 metres.
That would make her about 13. Presume the local coppers have got you on one of their special lists Brian...... :)

Hey, what can I say! if she was + - 18 in 1961 when she adorned the bonnet of the Elite, that would make her +- 63 now ........above the age age of consent methinks! :lol: :lol:

I hesitate to comment on an obvious forest/trees anomaly...

I remember the original ad. Bob Challman's Ecurie Shirlee was where I bought my Lotus. The model in the picture was Diane Webber (real name Marguerite Empey) All this is explained and illustrated in Dennis Ortenburger's book "Lotus Elite - Racing Car for the Road" (isbn 1 902351 03 7). The book shows up every once in awhile on eBay, or look at abebooks.com. Very useful book to have, although it is getting a bit pricy.
