I also spent some hours with my Leica MP shooting a weaver in Luskentyre on Harris, we had "nearly" no communication problems 😉 Often for Islanders, English was their second language, learnt at school and from the radio. Their English is often very correct. My grandmother's prime language was Gaelic. She was born and brought up in Appin on Loch Linne in the west of Scotland. She died in 1935 so I never knew her but apparently spoke English like a 1920's BBC radio announcer (received pronunciation). When she moved to north east Scotland, having married my grandfather, she was appointed head teacher of a local primary school. She struggled to understand some of the local boys speaking in the Buchan (Doric) dialect . Wilson 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NigelG Posted February 3, 2021 Share #14516 Posted February 3, 2021 I think we’re looking at a car in a colour called “Norfolk Mustard” but the angle is very confusing... Possibly a 74 Lotus Elite? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted February 3, 2021 Share #14517 Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) Yes, Lotus showing front screen, roof-line and open tailgate. I'm not too familiar with the Esprit nor the Eclat but suspect Nigel is spot-on with his answer. Nice, confusing shot, Andreas! As far as East Coast Scots is concerned my maternal grandparents were both from the Aberdeenshire countryside and their language / vocabulary - whilst Scots-English and not Gaelic - wasn't very far removed from that used by some Scots in the latter half of the 1700's. Consequently the majority of Burns' poetry is crystal clear to me! Philip. Edited February 3, 2021 by pippy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted February 3, 2021 Share #14518 Posted February 3, 2021 Lotus for sure given the letters on the rear. Interesting angle hiding the roof area pretty well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted February 3, 2021 Share #14519 Posted February 3, 2021 The Type 109 Lotus Mugen Honda was the last true Lotus F1 one car, as the team went into receivership at the end 1994. I went to the auction at Hethel early the next year and picked up an unused carbon fibre two plane rear wing, still all wrapped in tissue paper, for £65, to use on my Ralt F2 hill climb car.
