I owned one for several years. I’m guessing that it would be cheaper to maintain a Ferrari. Most of the interior pieces crumbled in my hands. The dash shook. The gauges didn’t work.The Stromberg carbs were ugly and didn,t work. he floor of the trunk collapsed under the weight of two suitcases. The exhaust leaked into the passanger compartment…which wasn’t bad because it kept my children quiet and just this side of revolt about their quarters in the “back seat”…Oh, did I mention the crazing of the fiberglass? Or the tailpipe that kept falling on the ground…How about the black squishy stuff that was supposed to hold the windshield in…did I mention that?
No, my memories are not entirely fond for that car…but it was beautiful from the rear..not the front as this ad so clearly points out. I did dearly love my Cortina Lotus
