Famous Lotus Elan Owners: Jimi Hendrix
Jimi Hendrix is widely considered to be one of the most influential electric guitarists of popular music. What we care about at LotusElan.net is the great photos he took with the Lotus Elan. And…. Well…. um…. actually the Lotus Elan S3 fixed head coupe belonged to Jimi Hendrix’s bassist Noel Redding. Noel Redding is the person standing on the left side of the car.
