Nobody really knows but before the Lotus Eleven all Lotus road cars were known as Mark 1, Mark 2 etc. However, when it came to the Lotus Eleven using the numerical symbol confused the car with the Roman Numerals for the number 2. Consequently, since the Lotus Eleven all Lotus road car names have started with the letter E. Incidentally, the Elise is named after the current Lotus chairmans daughter.

The Lotus 7 is small, simple, lightweight two-seater open-top sports car, and doesn't start with an E. I don't know when Lotus changed to the E names - Elan, Esprit, et al
