The history of the Lotus began in 1948 by Colin Chapman. The company now manufactures cars to be shipped worldwide. The first Lotus was actually built in the garage of Colin Chapman. The first Lotus factory was built in North London. Splits were made between original owners of the company several times over the years.

The Lotus Elite from the 1950’s featured a fiberglass and steel body. In the 1960’s the Lotus Elan began as a two seater, later transformed to a 2 plus 2, and it found huge success. The Lotus Europe was produced starting in the 1970’s and was another success. It had a lightweight body and Renault engine which was upgraded to the Lotus-Ford twin cam unit. The engine inside of Lotus is what really helps to make the car. It is fast and powerful, it really will take your breath away.

In the 1980’s Lotus did have a dip in sales, from 1,200 to 383. Lotus then paired with Toyota to begin production on new cars. The company was saved in 1983 when David Wilkins took over ownership. The Lotus is now still in production as an elite sports car. In 2002 Lotus was awarded the Queen’s Award for Enterprise. The award was given for Lotus’s contribution to International Trade. Keeping production local and selling and shipping to countries such as the United States keeps the work and trade going.
