traditional Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 The Lotus XI was built from 1956 until 1958 as a collaboration between Colin Chapman (Lotus cars) and Frank Costin (aerodynamic stylist). I think that this lightweight race car was exceptionally pretty even by today's standards, and, for years, there have been companies producing reproductions of them for use as club racers. . Bos-Models' little racer originally depicted a version that was used for a speed record using an enclosed canopy.....very well done, but I wanted the more common open cockpit version using a low windscreen (but still with the headrest styling), so the canopy was removed and a polycarbonate windscreen was cut and formed to replace it. Bos also makes the non-headrest version of this Lotus for those who want an open cockpit racer that already uses a low windscreen. The best prices that I can find for Bos-Models in the US is from American Excellence. I'm not affiliated with them in any way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
