Re: Hi, on look out for a Wind
Can well understand your heart being with Lotus a sophisticated; & as you say a bit fragile; piece of machinery.
Delortos. Just a effective as Webbers but not so well known.
Have owned a series of sports cars; Fairthorpe, MGs, Triumphs, Austin Healey, Merc SLK.
But: the car that gave me the greatest pleasure; & also the most hassle; was a 2001 Alfa Spider 916 V6 3 Litre.
Sometimes I enjoyed it too much & regularly returned 19mpg. Too powerful for it's chassis it was a real hooligan.
That said the Wind is an eccentric & fun choice which can also be very practical when it comes to carrying holiday luggage & golf gear.

Had a Herald Convertible & pic of engine bay reminded me when one could change a head gasket on one in a 2 to 3 hours no rush.

Re: Hi, on look out for a Wind
Yep with the wheel as its own inbuilt seat to make life comfotable. Later we had a 12/50 herald, that sure was interesting when you cornered and the back end jacked up with both rears tucked under. A mate and I did a chassis swap on it over a weekend.
