This Formula Junior racer by Lotus was sent to the United States through the company's agent, Jay Chamberlain. It was sold on November 24th of 1960 and the subsequent history for the next three decades remains a mystery. Around the 1990s, the car was given a restoration by Mark Gent.
The car is equipped with the Cosworth Ford motor backed by a correct Renault gearbox. The 1,100cc OHV inline 4-cylinder engine breathes through Twin Weber Side Draft 40 DCOE carburetors and produces approximately 125 horsepower. It had a double-wishbone front suspension with lower radius arms in the rear. Drum brakes provided the stopping power.
More recently, the car has resided on the Pacific Northwest and has had little use since its restoration was completed.By Daniel Vaughan | Jan 2022
