The writer has 35+ years of education on the car and leadership in organizations involved with the preservation of it. This includes worldwide publication of several articles and studies, as well as more than a decade running a dedicated website. He has an ongoing involvement with the car through his status as webmaster / archivist of the Lotus Eleven Register (founded in the USA in 1974) and as co-registrar for the Eleven for the Historic Lotus Register (founded in the UK in 1975). He has of course restored his own Lotus Eleven, with his own hands, and has assisted in the recovery and restoration of many others. He has met and interviewed several of the original "gang of volunteers" who designed and built the Eleven and only wishes to preserve the historic integrity of their achievement, as well as the actual cars they built.
