Unusual to see a Lotus Cortina in a different colour scheme to the normal cream with green side strake.
Similar to the Gulf racing colours.
Does seem a little odd, a 4 door model with a lotus badge.
According to Wikipedia there were only 2 cars made with the 4 door body shell. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_Cortina

Interesting shots. Your pictures led me to the story of the Pierce-Arrow Motor Car Company on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierce-Arrow_Motor_Car_Company ...the company that was famous for not making fire engines, even after its demise. (see the article quoted)Hi, ... :
I wonder if Sir William Lyons saw that before he penned the XK120.
Yes sorry, typo there, it is of course a W123. With the bits that are working, I am impressed with how solid it is for a car that is older than I am!Hi, congrats! (It is a W123 ...). My first Mercedes was a W123 240 D, I got before Christmas in 1981. My best Christmas ever !!!
