Lotus Elite & Eclat 1974-1982: Road Test Portfolio is a Brooklands Books compilation edited by R. M. Clarke, covering Lotus’s front-engined 1970s grand tourers.
This softcover volume traces the development of the Lotus Elite and its fastback contemporary, the Lotus Eclat, from 1974 through to 1982. It brings together period magazine articles, technical analysis, road tests and comparison tests, giving today’s owners and enthusiasts a useful view of how these cars were received when new.
Models and variants covered include the Elite Types 75 and 83, Eclat Types 76 and 84, S1, S2.2 and Sprint versions. This makes it a useful reference for owners, buyers, restorers and anyone interested in Lotus’s move into more upmarket four-seat and 2+2 sports GT cars during the 1970s and early 1980s.
