Between 1960 and 1962, Lotus built 16 of these race cars, lovingly named the 'Monte Carlo,' in honor of Lotus' first-ever F1 Grand Prix victory in 1960, driven by the late great Stirling Moss. The Lotus 19 was designed by Colin Chapman using a fiberglass body over the Coventry Climax 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine with a five-speed gearbox.
This Monte Carlo was purchased new by Jack Nethercutt, who campaigned it and then sold it to Dick Hahn in 1964. Over the decades, the car passed through various proprietors and suffered some ill-advised modifications, eventually falling into the hands of J.N. Nerheim, who researched the provenance of the car for thirty years. In a fairytale denouement, the original owner, Jack Nethercutt, finally reacquired the Monte Carlo in 2020 and had it fully restored to its original specification.
