Lotus Elan S3, 1966. The Elan was an era-defining car and was for Lotus, their first really commercially successful road car. It featured a steel backbone chassis with a fibreglass body and was powered by a DOHC 1,558 cc engine, with 4-wheel disc brakes, rack and pinion steering and 4-wheel independent suspension. Sales were boosted in the UK and internationally when the character Emma Peel (played by Diana Ring) drove one in 60’s TV series The Avengers. It provided the template for the Mazda MX-5 Miata. In 2004, Sports Car International placed the Elan number 6 in a list of Top Sports Cars of the 1960s. 
PS: Diana Rigg had to learn to drive for the TV show, Lotus gave her the car when she left The Avengers, but she wasn't a keen driver and passed the Elan onto a friend. More recently Dame Diana played the role of Olenna Tyrell in Game of Thrones, she passed away in 2020, aged 82. R.I.P

Autodynamics Hustler, 1967. Autodynamics was formed by Ray Caldwell in the early 1960’s as a racing car maker. They also diversified into making replacement fibreglass body panels for the Lotus Elan. At the New York Auto Show they revealed the Hustler, an Elan replica (it was larger than the diminutive Lotus) based on a VW chassis and rear engine. The business was doing well with Formula Vee and the VW-based ‘Deserter’ dune-buggy so the Hustler was really a side-project and less than 50 were made before production ended in 1968.
