Thanks for clearing that one up; I find this whole Lotus thing a tad confusing.

My Lotus' design is nothing like the 78;
The 72 is far more red than her endplates' red:

An interesting article by Mike Lawrence on Lotus. I agree a lot with his logic.
I hope a sports car manufacturer by that name lives on in its current home with its proper DNA.
