When asked if there is anything in his career that he regrets, the Elan is cited once more: "I would narrow the rear end (it always looks to have a fat bum) and put back the two inches in the wheelbase that our engineers removed in error. Apparently, they even sabotaged Lotus's computer design system so that the then Lotus boss Michael Kimberley would not discover their blunder, which made it impossible to add a two-plus-two version to the range."

But I'd lay off the chocky just in case...

Longer

Less wide

IMO, I like the squat look of the car. Makes it look like it means business from the back! Any narrower in the front and it would look more like the Ford Capri of similar vintage (Nitroman knows!).

I'd lop a few inches off the front, frankly to get the overhangs more even - a la Audi A4.

How on earth can a womans sexiest part be between her ears, sorry, don't get that one at all ?

Only thing i can think of, is if she's a right old rough looking dog ?, & i don't think Stefy qualifies for that award !
