About Doors

Lotus car doors are used by the driver and passengers, sitting in the front or back seats, to enter and exit the car.
A standard car door usually opens outwards and is normally mounted to the frame of the car with hinges which are fixed to the car with either bolts or pins. Lotus car doors are fitted with a section of glass, which makes up the car window.

Most manufacturers of modern cars favour aluminium for parts such as car doors, because it is strong, durable and rustproof while being lightweight. Car doors can also be made of steel and strong plastics. The interior of a car door, referred to as the car door card, will usually consist of a strong plastic cover lined with various materials such as leather or vinyl to compliment the rest of the interior design.  In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, the car door card houses controls for electric windows and the locking mechanism.

Whether the Lotus door has been damaged, not working properly, needs replacing due to general wear and tear, or you’re simply renovating your car, it’s important when replacing any door to make sure you purchase a door that is compatible with the make, model, and year of your car.

Lotus trivia

• Lotus always tries to make their cars using the least amount of parts possible. The company is built around the idea that the lighter the car, the better. The lightweight architecture of a Lotus has led the brand to become one of the most environmentally friendly vehicle makers in the world.
• Although Lotus has always been a smaller company than other makers, they have been approached to help with the designs of some very famous cars from some big names. Some notable examples include the DeLorean DMC-12, the V12 Vanquish, and the Corvette ZR-1.
• The original Lotus cars were sold as kit cars so that buyers could avoid paying purchase tax. It wasn't until 1970 that Lotus started selling a model that didn't come as a kit...the Elan Plus Two.
• The last time that Lotus achieved any big F1 success was in 1978, when they used revolutionary 'ground effect' design to keep their Lotus 79 closer to the ground when turning. As a result of the design, Lotus won 16 of the year's races and the constructor's prize. Ground effects designs were banned in 1983 due to safety fears.
• Lotus once finished building a car one day before it was due to race in the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. The rules now forbid this from happening. Unfortunately, the Lotus R3 didn't finish the race, breaking down with 16 laps still left to go.
