Wow. Now there’s an unformatted pile of text that is very difficult to make any sense of. I can only imagine that this was dictated over the phone to the advertising editor at the BARC Gazette and just transcribed and keylined in. It looks almost like a telegram of the ad’s copy.
Let’s just concentrate on those lovely lines of the Elite’s bodywork instead. There, that’s better.

Yes, Lotii are pretty to look at but their general inability to deal with everyday road conditions must be taken into account.

The ad copy is the essence of Lotus. The bare minimum to do the job. ACBC probably did it intentionally.
