Lotus continues to celebrate 75 years in business, now by teaming up with British luxury pen brand Onoto. Lotus founder Colin Chapman would be proud – the pens are created from aluminium, his lightweight material of choice, recycled and sourced from historic Lotus Formula 1 cars. This means Lotus fans can channel the founder’s genius while clutching a remnant of one of his race cars. The finial of the pen features Chapman’s personal monogram – ACBC for Anthony Colin Bruce Chapman.
