Unfortunately, it is not British :-(

Profile fine, width not. Sidewalls have been stretched. This is fine for racing tyres but not road tyres. Puts extra stress on the sidewalls and distorts the tread area compromising performance. Tyres need to be, at a guess, approx 20-30mm wider for these rims.

Apology accepted

Engine was designed and built by Cosworth. It was based on the 2 litre Pinto short block with a Cosworth designed 16 valve DOHC head.

As an aside, the original Lotus Elan was designed by the guy that also created the Black and Decker Workmate, Ron Hickman.
