I should have bought a lot of things 1n 1968 but I did not have the money, except for a Lotus Elite, now 50 years old and still one of the timeless designs-a truly beautiful tiny car. I went and sold that in 1970 to help fund emigration to South Africa.
They had an Elite reunion at Goodwood race track this summer, my Elite is now owned by a doctor in Scotland who races it and also a Lotus 26R, a racing version of the Elan, I bought one and ran it on the road when I got back from South Africa to England. Those are worth a fortune now as so few survived. It too is still racing in Ireland, I was told. wich I had them both. Now I have a 83 Porshe 944 and a 84 Mazda GSL-SE, so I do have a couple of nice sports cars to tear around in like a blue assed fly.
