William Taylor Lotus Images

Author and photographer William Taylor has been photographing Lotus cars professionally since he bought his first Lotus, a Series 3 Elan Drophead in 1988. He estimates he has over 10,000 ‘Lotus’ images in his personal collection that has been built up working on the dozens books about Lotus that his company Coterie Press has published in the last 25 years. These are a few of his favourites, listed in Type Number order starting with a replica of the first Lotus, the Mark I, the original of which was built by Colin and Hazel in the lock-up garages behind Hazel’s parents house in 1948. A note is also made for each photo of where and when the image was taken.

As we continue to build out the Lotus-Library website you will be able to access additional images of each ‘Type’ by clicking on the image which will take you to additional images of the same car as well as pictures of other example of the same model.
