1960 Lotus 18 Formula Junior Navigation
The Lotus 18 was the first rear-engined formula racer produced by Lotus.
In 1965, this car was owned by Fred Stevenson of Mt. Kisco, New York. Fred campaigned the car throughout the 1965 season in the FC class of the SCCA in the Northeastern portion of the US. Photos in the possession of the current owner obtained from an SCCA National Race held at Thompson Raceway in Thompson, Connecticut, show Fred finishing the feature race with maple saplings intertwined in the rear suspension. Apparently Fred went agricultural in his effort to stay close tot the leaders. And, because it happened toward the end of the race, he was not black flagged. He finished the race 3rd overall. For the 1965 season, Fred finished FC 7th Nationally, and 1st in the NY region with the Lotus 18.
