Equipment
Originally built for UDT Laystall and driven by Joakim Bonnier, Lucien Bianchi, Masten Gregory and maybe by Stirling Moss with some midfield success. Acquired by John Dawson Damer in 1973, restored by 1976 and raced until 1988. Loosely assembled at the time of cataloging (including a pictured coil shock missing its attaching nut in the the catalog) with fresh 1 1 2 liter Climax FPF and Lotus sequential shift queerbox freshly rebuilt by Classic Team Lotus. Complete but aged and will benefit from a thorough freshening, preparation and setup. Comes with spare (possibly original) body.
Market commentary
The price reflects the uncertainty of this Lotuss presentation and prudently leaves room to complete the fairly comprehensive work it needs before being turned loose on track. Bought at an astute price.
