Lotus Cars by the Numbers

Notes:

Cars up to and including the Eleven are referred to as Mark, thereafter Type.

Many racing types had appendages to indicate different uses, they are not all listed. Several type numbers are shared between production and F1 cars. Dates and production numbers are estimates and are likely to be wrong. They are provided merely as a guide.

Production numbers are always subject to discussion

The ‘Lotus Type Numbers List’ was compiled over 25 years by Lotus Historian William Taylor at Coterie Press.
