Hi Sandy - Never seen one in chrome, or with the Lotus badge down there in the corner. Not the most visible place - would it even be visible?

............as it's a relatively rudimentary chrome job, i tend to believe this is original! - this came out of a sprint about 20yrs ago. i added the badge! sandy

But surely that would not have been original for a sprint? Didn't all sprints have the rectangular type like these? (Or at least those with Webers)
