Book Description

LOTUS ELISE : The Official Story, by Jeremy Walton

Every fascinating stage of the development of the Lotus Elise, Type 111, is explored in this fully comprehensive book. From the car’s conception, production, and all the way through to its marketing, every part of the story is covered in depth. This superb book also has a chapter on the car’s subsequent development for the racetrack, as well as an appendix covering collectables & memorabilia.

Produced with the full co-operation of Lotus Cars, who gave unparalleled access to the company’s archives, as well as their employees, this book contains the reminisces of virtually everyone involved in the concept and design of the Elise. We are taken through the car’s initial production period, and subsequent development into the Series 2 model of 2001, with every variation of the car described by Jeremy Walton and superbly photographed by Lotus expert William Taylor. Walton was the only journalist invited to attend the project 111 meetings at Lotus back in 1994 and Jeremy’s close involvement combined with his obvious enthusiasm for the Elise project, is reflected by the openess of all involved, revealing the real stories behind the car.

LOTUS ELISE is a stunning 208 page full colour publication, and its large 12x12 inch, hard cover format contains over 500 drawings and photographs, most previously unseen outside of Lotus.

4.0 out of 5 stars Collectors piece, 4 Mar 2003
By A Customer
This is a gorgeous book; as much effort has gone into making this book appealing to the eye as it has into making the content interesting and informative. It is the same size as Crowood's 'The Lotus Book'. Jeremy Walton and Crowood have really tried to produce the ultimate Elise book and it is impossible not to recommend this book to anyone with an interest in the Elise or just beautifully made motoring books in general. There is a wealth of information, and the occasional snippet that the reader may not have come across before - not easy to find when so much has already been written about the Elise. My one criticism is that I would have liked to have seen more photographs of the cars and, particularly, their interiors. The book already has many photos, but I would happily have forsaken the many pictures of the covers of well known motoring magazines for a glimpse at the interior of a 111s and comparison with the standard 111 for example.

A beautiful book, so nearly perfect.
