If you're looking for some reading over the Christmas and New Year period you'll be needing a copy.

I owned a 1985 Esprit S3 for a decade and loved that car. Have enjoyed the Elise generation cars for a bit of occasional rent-a-trackday fun but never bought one. Never fell in love with Evora and the Exige S is just too nutter for my day to day needs.

Anyway, this issue of CAR magazine is full of good Lotus stuff for your holiday reading. Reports on the latest Exige track or road/track cars, buying second-hand Elise/Exige/Evora/Esprit, and more. All good stuff.

My favourite was Bob Lutz (motor industry big-wig and general car nut) writing in the back pages about Evora and the Dani Bahar era. I won't spoil it by telling you what he says but it's absolutely 100% in line with my own opinion.

Happy Christmas!

[If you're bored of waiting for a decent new Lotus, don't forget to take a look at the new Corvette C7 Stingray. Absolute belter! But if a 450 bhp V8 is too much for you....]

The Elise in that mag is a one off, in that model and colour.
