Nice story today in NY Times on Toad Hall Classic Sports Car Collection, the all-red car collection owned by Bill Putman in Hyannis Port, Mass.


~LINK to NY Times story~

Lots of MGs, Triumphs, Loti, Jags, Sunbeams, Morgans, Minis, etc. All red.

I own 2 red, British sports cars. I really need to make a trip up there.

What a great collection-it reminds me of the red room at the Haynes Motor Museum in the UK!

This was my favorite:

[SIZE=+2]1960 LOTUS ELITE [/SIZE]

Series 1 car, with the 1220 cc Coventry Climax FWE four cylinder twin SU engine that turned out 102 bhp in a 1700 pound fiberglass body. There were only 274 series 1 cars made from 1958 to 1960, all rhd. Completely restored in the 1990s. Really, the prettiest car Lotus made. I'll probably paint it red though.
