Tito Ogle, o quien lo desee,(...) "The cars were so quick you could reasonably expect to be on pole position," Moss says, "if you made it round the lap…"
Early Lotus road cars had the same reputation. In early 1969, at 22, I bought a new Elan, which was trouble from the day of its delivery. Any journey of more than 50 miles became an act of faith. In the end, I gave in, sold it and replaced it with… another Elan. Same story, so I also got rid of that one - and replaced it with… you guessed.
By now you may be thinking here was someone barely on speaking terms with commonsense, and you would be right. But it was like going back to an obsessive affair, every time knowing it could never work. The problem was, when all was well with one or other of my Elans, it was driving pleasure as I have never known before or since. The other side of the coin was sleeping in the car by a deserted road near Bordeaux, driveshaft coupling broken. Again.
The twin-cam engines ran sweetly, but devoured oil, a point I made, years later, to Chapman. "Of course they did!" he replied. "What the hell d'you think was lubricating them?" I began to feel it was my fault. "What you want to be wary of," he added, darkly, "is an engine that doesn't use any oil…" Arguing with Colin could be like folding a paper in a high wind.
