A Turner, 1962? I’ve never heard of Turner. How is that?

I think they used to call them 'head turners'. Ever heard of those?

I’m not a car buff, but I thought I knew about the makers from my boyhood. I even had a little ‘spotters’ book where you ticked them off when you saw them.

Just playing catch-up with this thread...

...I particularly liked this Turner (1962 MkII)

This prompted me to sift through the pictures that I took at the Thruxton Classic race meeting earlier this year, as I know I'd seen a Turner there. This one is a Mk1 with (I was told) a Coventry Climax engine:

Of course, I'm a big fan of Lotus:

Who isn't ?! A couple from the same race meeting as above:
Elan


Europa


This was parked trackside. Elan +2


... and a couple of mine from the same day for @geoffbot, as he asked nicely; albeit a good while ago.

Oh, Lotus.

The only company that’s never lost its way. No wonder they’re not popular, they appeal to fools like me who think driving is something you should savor, enjoy, and pay attention to.

Used to be able to say that about Porsche too, but not anymore, sadly.

Oh, they've definitely lost their way now...

Except when Colin Chapman was probably facing ten years in jail, but died.
