Everything you always wanted to know about Lotus cars. June 26, 2008
Thats a marvelous book from William Taylor. No, it's not a book, it's the Encyclopaedia Britannica about Lotus cars an their creator Colin Chapman. Unfortunately, the publishing house has spared the slipcase in which the early editions came.

The definitive book about the Lotus sport car maker through all its production. Beautiful photos and exhaustive text.

As a Lotus employee during their glory years, 1960-1965, I enjoyed seeing the cars displayed in the book as I saw them produced and watched their successes.
The way the book was compiled and presented would be a must own for any enthusiast of the Lotus Marque. The photographs are excellent, as well as the text, which starts from the very beginning of Lotus history to the present day.
I am more then satisfied with this representation of Lotus Cars
contribution to the automotive world.

The Lotus Book - Series 2 January 17, 2003
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
If you either own a Lotus or are contemplating purchasing a Lotus of any age, this is an outstanding book to purchase. It will help you understand the evolution of the marque and your particular automobile. I've read it twice from cover to cover and learned something new each time. A great complement to other model specific series (Elan, Elise, Elite, Europa). It is worth every penny of the price.
The best lotus book so far. June 19, 2000
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book is simply a work of art. 256 pages in full color about all lotus cars past and present, how did I miss the first edition? Each car has at least 4 photographs: side-on, front, back and three-quarter. Some even have historical photos attached! Each car also has a detailed chart outlining more technical details than you'll ever want to know. Cars included start with the lotus 7, 9 and 11 road cars and include every type of racing machinery imaginable. Everything from the rear-engine type 18 to the glorious and historical type 49 can be found. This, of course, means that every lotus, road going and otherwise is included in the book. Also included are pictures of pit passes, driving suits, drivers, and even a prototype carbon-fiber bicycle. The total tally is 389 color portraits and 734 smaller images. No other lotus book I have read so far compares with this one.
