pftnbr - let me welcome you to AutoPuzzles!

Here, nothing is what it seems, therefore this is not a Lotus 11

Is it a 11 replica or based off the 11? (Or neither!)

Is it Australian?  Looks like a Holden next to it.  Australians made their own cars, with an import duty of 40% back then.

Yeah...I realized that a short while later.  I'd forgotten where I'd found my source image.  Duh.   :-[

Elva? The ones I can remember were Lotus 23 based, though.

Oops, I think that should have been Elfin.

I've found what appears to be another Aussie Lotus XI copy - the Decca Special?

Post by: pnegyesi on May 09, 2012, 12:11:57 AM
Keep looking :) - this is not a Decca

I found something described as a Lotus BB from 1969

There's no Lotus in the name

That's the "Alf", Julian Cowan's Ford powered Lotus II look-a-like. the picture was taken at Caversham Raceway , Western Australia in the 1960s.
