But I like this picture. Two generations of Lotus, owned by two generations of my family.

Nice cars! My old man used to have an Ecalt (presuming the black one is an Eclat). I always remember the Austin Allegro door handles on the inside of the doors biggrin

Very claustrophobic in the back of the Eclat as I remember!

Yes, it's actually one of the last Excels - son of Eclat - which offers a little (very little!) refinement over the Eclat. The kids love it in the back. It's a pig to photograph though with my limited experience - a very, very dark metallic green (black in all but direct sunlight) and getting the levels right is beyond my meagre skills.

I need to find a sort of intermediate skill level photography course (and free time to do it). I can do all the basics and understand the technical details, but turning that into photographs with something approaching the right atmosphere... bah.
