The Elite /Eclat Register
Michael Marsh, a long standing Elite enthusiast, has created a Register specifically for the Elite / Eclat cars. The objective is to record basic details of the cars and their owners so that we can establish how many cars are still in existence, and which countries they live in.
Michael usually has a stand for the register at the Club Lotus shows in Donnington & Stoneleigh each year, where you can meet, chat and buy a copy of the BBC video made in 1974 when the car was launched.

There are currently less than 150 cars on the register so hopefully there are many more to find, given that production figures are thought to be:*
S1 (1974 - 1980) S2 (1980 - 1982)
Elite 2,398 132
Eclat 1,299 223

.. so please contact Michael if you have not already done.
Michael is also writing a book about these fine GT cars, so if you have a special, unusual or unique model, he would like to hear from you!
