When Colin Chapman decided to create a conventional two-seater sports car, he set himself an ambitious goal. In the early 60s, buyers were spoilt for choice. But the Elan was arguably the best of them all.

Imbued with the Lotus mantra "Make it as light as possible", the Elan was a pleasure to drive. So much so that it inspired the car that revived the wave of small, lightweight sports cars - the MX5.
