So, a Lotus, but with a Marcos-like rear and a Ferrari-esque front.

Are we talking obscure concepts here?

Obscure? Well, let's put it like this........... I had not seen a car like this before, and when I talked to the owner I found out that it is indeed a one-off, based on a well known production car. It did even feature in a well known motoring magazine a couple of months ago.

Any French DNA in it? I'm thinking it might have some Renault connections due to Lotus use of some Renault motors in their cars.

No Renault connection here.... that did not start til the Europa in 1966, and this predates that (a bit).

Was it based on the Elite?

Yay, I got something right. :lol:

But I have no idea about the car. Was it a UK manufacturer who made use of this chassis?

Yes.

Colin Chapman did not approve of the "restyling" and said that he would not supply any more chassis if the firm made anything else like this one! this car lived in Switzerland all its life until very recently.

No, it is a special bodied Lotus Elan.

All you need to tell me is either who designed it, or who made it. The former was a famous name in the 1960s who among other things modified Minis and the latter also built a famous car with a front end strikingly similar to this one, the majority of which survive to this day.

That enough clues?
