The Perfect Lotus Cortina?

[L2Man]

Has anyone read this yet?

At last a proper Aeroflow Lotus cortina not one of those early prototype mk1's or mk2 afterthought cars

I wonder if Journalist's view is more credible than an auctioneer's

Is the car known?

Presumably the reversing light hinges down to get petrol in

 

[Neilsjuke]

It must have a Chev Bel air 57 Filler then.
No it did not have one when I last saw it

That bloke in the photo has slammed the bootlid on his hand by the look on his face... :shock:

 

[Neilsjuke]

And the tyre valve is not in-line with V of Vredestein. :roll:

 

[H Cortina]

Well i recognise the owner but my lips are sealed.

Minilite wheels look like they have a strange inset. Not seen a set looking like that on a cortina before. Maybe they are narrower than the usual 6 inch ones.
:?

Having flicked though the pages in the local newsagents, I would say it is far from 'perfect'!

Pete- do you know the owner ? :shock:

Leave poor Neil and his car alone he's a really nice bloke, most of the time

Just had a flick through the mag at the newsagents. Nice 6 page write up on our very own Neilsjuke and his car.

Now lets see out Aussie member keep digging that hole :lol:

Having bought the magazine, I think it's just the angle the cover pic was taken at, combined with the tall tyres and centre caps that made the wheels look odd.
Been trying to cut down on buying classic car magazines, as I like to keep them and am running out of space, but it's nice to see our cars in print, so had to buy this one.
Any car being described in print, as being "perfect" must cause a bit of a blush for the owner and whilst it may not be the perfect concourse car, I am sure it's just perfect for a bit of road rallying fun.

On closer inspection is he having a leak up the rear wheel ?
I feel a caption competition looming....
:wink:

 

[L2Man]

Love the idea of a caption competition...........

If Geoff is watching he could add to QB, bound to have to be well defined rules on good and bad taste though?
