Description
The Lotus-designed steel Y-frame spine: two identical pressings (by Willenhall Manufacturing) spot-welded together at Hoover and painted to withstand a 90-hour salt-spray test. Cross-section about 5.5 × 4 cm. There is no separate suspension; ride comes from chassis flex, the body bump mounts and the tyres.
