ABOUT
First
published in 1977, Dennis Ortenburger's
- The
Original Lotus Elite became
an instant classic. It was the first
definitive book written about the cars and reflected his
enthusiasm and the enormous amount of research put into the
project with many photographs and historical details published
for the first time. The book also had the distinction of being
one of the first to include factory records of every car
built. Date of invoice, chassis and engine numbers, first
customer and date sold were features of this list, which have
enabled every Elite owner to trace his car's history starting
at the very beginning. It was so successful in fact, that it
spawned two more books on the Elite. Each time Dennis added
more new information, photos and original drawings - All of
them essential volumes for the enthusiasts library.
The first book has long been sought after and copies of the
out-of-print volume have rarely changed hands, obtaining huge
prices at auction. This new edition will resolve the supply
problems and be welcomed by all. Appropriately, it has not
been totally revised, with the changes limited to a new cover
and a few new photographs. This way, the book retains all the
charm of the time frame in which it was written.
