Classic Lotus cars - inc Lotus Elan, Esprit, Europa, Lotus 6 & 7, Lotus Cortina Mk1 & one-off cars

In this classic Lotus cars vid I've assembled 100 photos of Hethel's finest, primarily road cars but also several track-oriented sportscars (excluding the Lotus F1 cars).
Popular sights at classic car shows and circuit events include examples of the lightweight Lotus Elan and Europa, the Elite in its various guises, Esprits from over the years, the early cars (Lotus 6 and Lotus 7), the Excel and Lotus Eclat, and a number of curious one-offs that I've only ever seen on singular occasions - for example an estate-car version of the Lotus Elan +2, and another +2 with a very unusual front end treatment.
Collaboration-cars are also included, for example the Lotus Cortina Mk1, the Cortina Lotus Mk2, the wild Lotus Carlton, and the ever-popular-in-historic-rallying Talbot Sunbeam Lotus. All the photos were taken by myself at many different classic car events since the mid-2000s.
All corrections and additions that Lotus gurus out there can offer regarding the cars featured welcomed as always in the comments section. I'm the first to admit that Lotuses (Lotii?) aren't something I know a huge amount about so I'm happy to be corrected on identifications if necessary.
