Picked up a car part for someone last night. What a cool errand. Got to meet a couple of old time lotus racers and heard a few stories. Somewhere out there is a Diane that made a lasting impression

That's a pre-Airflow coupe. I've been looking for one of those for a long time.
The élan coupe is a runner. It has been sharing garage space with the cortina wagon for at least 20 years. It's competed in local Chicago surocrosses for some time, often driven by Bernie's wife Louise. It has been a rock solid reliable ride. The only tool Louise used to carry was a cut down 7/16th wrench to bump the starter past a couple of broken ring gear teeth.
No details on Diane but it seems she may have shared some characteristics of Amy along with epic looks
