Lotus Elite Type 75, 1975. Designed by Oliver Winterbottom, the 70s era Elite was Lotus founder Colin Chapman’s attempt to move the company up-market and away from its kit-car past. The interior was styled with assistance from Italdesign. At the time of launch it was the world’s most expensive four cylinder car, priced from £5,445 when it first went on sale in January 1975.

Hommell Barquette ( 1 of 52). 

It’s quite possible that you immediately recognise this rather quirky and esoteric car, know all about its origins and could wax lyrical about it for hours on end.It’s equally possible that you’re scratching your head, thumbing through your encyclopedia of obscure cars and wondering what kind of automotive unicorn this could be.Alternatively, and we think this is rather more likely if you’re of a certain age, this car might induce in you some weird sense of déjà vu, a vague and troubling recollection of having seen it before - somewhere, somehow, some time.Allow me to jog your memory.Michel Hommell is, among other things, an engineer, a racing driver, the producer of France’s best-selling automotive magazines, and the owner of a particularly fine car collection housed in his Manoir de l'Automobile museum in Brittany.The eponymous Hommell Barquette was a track car launched in 1994 alongside a road-going version called the Berlinette, which was primarily manufactured to homologate the racing version.It was built out of the Frenchman’s desire to create something new, exciting and proudly Gallic in the manner of Alpine, Venturi, Matra and De La Chapelle.Weighing in at just 940kg and powered by a 16V 2.0-litre Peugeot engine producing 155 bhp, the Barquette was very much in tune with Colin Chapman’s oft-copied mantra that lightness matters more than power.The car had a tubular frame, front and rear double wishbones, a GRP body, and a 6-speed H-pattern gearbox.

Only 52 Hommell Barquettes were ever made.

"jimmy was a highly introverted man," stewart recalled. "he ate his fingers, not just the nails but the skin around them too. but living in paris near the end changed his life quite a lot. he became more liberal, more worldly and rounded.

"colin had protected jimmy from everything. he could depend on colin to do everything for him, to fix his racing cars, to do his travel, because lotus did that [...] suddenly jimmy was not the border farmer depending on colin."
