Can someone tell me what the letters on the
Lotus logo mean?
Thanks,

The history of the badge is a bit more interesting than that.
The first couple of cars produced by Lotus Engineering Company were
built by Colin Chapman and Nigel and Michael Allen. Together they
agreed that the initials on the badge should be ABCC for Allen
Brothers and Colin Chapman. (That's probably why the AB is larger
than one of the two Cs.) The Allen brothers were rather annoyed to
find out that Colin Chapman's full initials were ACBC.
The first car to get a Lotus badge was the Lotus IIIB. Adam Currie
was the first customer to buy a Lotus. But his car didn't come with a
badge. He happen to be visiting the workshop on the day the brand new
Lotus badges arrived. He was offered one of the badges in the box
which he put on his car.

Peter Ross got the same story and put it into his book "Lotus The Early
Years". However the Allens cannot have looked closely at the Mark Two,
which already had a painted badge with the ACBC logo.

Big whoop.
Another obscenely overpriced German rocket sled.
Sure - it might be able to beat me through a corner - and leave me in a straightaway - but for as much as one will have to pay for the car - he/she DESERVES to triumph over my 40 year old technology.
Doesn't bother me in the slightest.
Best of all - in some neighborhoods - he/she will get to see themselves coming and going several times a day!!!
On a vastly more serious note - what's the colour for the original Elan Sprint wheels. I seem to recall they were aluminum - but I'm wondering if there is a specific code or formula. Some PO painted my wheels black.
TIA
